I love brunch. Brunch is my favorite meal.

Each year, I write out a goal sheet with what I expect. If I showed anybody else my goal sheet, they would have said I was crazy.

I have no idea when it's going to be, when I'll retire.

It's pretty neat to be able to help the team in different ways.

I want to go out and chase greatness. That's all I want to do.

Hockey, honestly, was my first love. The excitement, the fast pace, the intensity of the game... I still love it to this day.

There's plenty of days when I don't want to eat chicken breast and broccoli and rice, but I know what I have to do, and I know the sacrifice I have to make.

Since my sophomore year in high school, I knew I didn't want to do anything but be a professional athlete. I knew when I got to college there was no way anybody was going to stop me from being an NFL player.

I respect every guy that has walked away. I think every single guy in this league makes his own decision, and that's perfectly fine. The reason I respect that and the reason I think every guy has his own way of dealing with things is because, in my personal opinion, I know what I'm getting into.

You can find just about everything on my iPod from Eminem to Zac Brown to Justin Timberlake to One Direction. Everything is on there.

It's hard to understand the life that I live and rationalize some of the things that I do. I don't need someone questioning every move that I make, asking me why I don't just relax. When there's no one asking me those types of questions... to me, it's peaceful.

I ate a whole 20-inch pizza by myself one time.

In Wisconsin, style-wise, it was all about bundling up, maybe wearing a hat and forgetting about your hair.

People play with pain all the time.

I'm a Wisconsin kid, so I like brats and burgers and stuff like that. Cheese curds.

When it comes down to that moment, when it's me against you, you know in your head whether you worked hard enough. You can try to lie to yourself. You can try to tell yourself that you put in the time. But you know - and so do I.

A sack is way better than any nightclub. A touchdown is way better than any bar experience I've ever had.

If you want to be remembered as great, if you want to be a legend, you have to go out there every single day and do stuff.

My family is a middle-class family. When I grew up and learned how much it actually cost for us to play hockey, I could not believe that my parents let us play as long as they did.

I will always do what I can to help others, but when I retire, I want to be a dad and a husband. I want a house and a dog in the yard. I want to have barbecues.

A reputation takes years and years and years to build, and it takes one press of a button to ruin it. Don't let that happen to you. You've done so much work; you've put in so much effort. Don't let one moment ruin your entire life because you wanted to be funny or you were mad or because you had a mood.

What I remember most about high school are the memories I created with my friends.

If you don't have that vision for the end goal, you have no clue where you're going, and you're going to work very hard to go nowhere.

There's no greater feeling in the world than when you can put a smile on somebody's face just by walking into a room. It's unbelievable. And if I have that power, who am I to waste it, you know?
