I have a good idea of how lucky we are to be growing up in Canada.

I feel proud to be a skater: it's taught me how to be emotional, more connected with myself, more mature, more understanding of my thoughts and the conversations I've had with myself.

I relate really well to individuals who have a career and explore other adventures outside of skating. That, to me, is fascinating.

I hope I can compete in one or two Olympics in my career. Of course I would like to win a medal, but just being there would be awesome.

The 'No.1 IT company' isn't by volume, it's in relation to business customers because those are my customers, not the consumer. Who do they view as their most important partner? That's my definition of the 'No.1 IT company.'

I don't want to be one of those players who has a good career but couldn't get out of the first round.

I always say, you know, if I sit here and close my eyes and say, 'When did I learn the most in my life, in my career?' It'll always be when I close them and everything I think of is when I took a risk. It's when I think I learned the most.

Kids and adults alike are having their curiosity drained away by boredom in class or the workplace, and by the unremitting background noise of a dumbed-down pop culture.
