At 39, I was back in a Red Wings uniform and loving it.

They thought we were going to hurt the game, but we just wanted to help ourselves, because the players needed to get together to protect their interests.

I hated everybody I played against, and they hated me. That's the way hockey should be played.

Owners never paid my salary. I always recognized that it was the people in the seats who did. I always wanted to give my best.

If it hadn't been for the videocassette, I may not have had a career at all.

My father was not in power when I started my political career, or when I fought my first election in 1996. Starting like any ordinary person, I reached out to people everywhere.

When it's all about the work, it's clear who in the company is pulling their weight and who isn't.

In my generation, if a man washes the dishes, the older women still tend to cluster around and coo and thank him and praise him. But if a woman washes the dishes, it's business as usual, even if both man and woman have tough office jobs.
