Brett Hull Quotations

Don't worry what people say or what people think. Be yourself.

You can't get big in hockey. You need to be pliable... they've even taken fighting out of the game, so there's no more of those big huge guys who just fight.

Because I don't look like I'm skating around as hard as Bobby Bassen doesn't mean my mind isn't working twice as hard as Bobby's mind. Just because I can't fight like Kelly Chase doesn't mean standing in front of the net getting cross-checked and slashed isn't toughness as well.

If you're going to play hockey now, you have to be able to play. If you have the ability to fight and play, you're an unbelievable commodity. But if you can only fight, there might be six of those guys left in the league, and I can guarantee they're going fast.

I was kind of smart enough when I was young, 14 or 15 years old, to realize that if you're ever going to do anything and step out of the shadow of your own dad - not only in hockey, but in life itself - you're going to have to learn you're Brett and not 'Bobby's son.'

Canadian hockey fans... They boo me every time I go anywhere. Because I play for Team USA.

I'm very impatient. I am. That's the bane of my game. I don't think about what I'm going to do - I just go hit it, I don't stop to wait and think. Costs me two shots a round.

I'm patient with crossword puzzles and the most impatient golfer.

My teeth have never been touched. Why did I tell you that? Knock on wood. I've got a few scars over the eyes, a couple on the chin, a few on the beak and one across the cheek. But my luck is running out.

Sometimes guys need to cry. Some hockey players think they're too tough to cry.

I'm realistic. And realistically, I'm not that type of player that earns that type of money any more. So I'd be willing to take a little cut to get a couple of extra years.

I've said for years I could never figure out why Calgary ever drafted me. When I got there, I think they had eight or nine right wingers already. These guys were premiere players. It's not like they were extremely late in their careers, either.

Do I catch flak because I'm so much smarter than everyone else? I don't know.

I admire Miken's exceptional engineering capabilities and was drawn to their passion for hockey and drive to be the best in all they do.

I am very proud to align myself with Miken - a brand known as an innovator and leader in the development of high performance sports equipment.

I'm not done yet making people miserable. If they're going to make me miserable, then I'm going to make them miserable.

Nobody should live in an environment that's not healthy.

There are so many unbelievable words... But that doesn't mean I have a favorite word.

You know what, I had 11 great years with St. Louis. My gosh, those are the best years of my life. And I will never, ever forget that.

You know what? I don't care. I'm my own guy. I'm very secure with my sexuality. I can cry anytime I want.

I see myself playing as long as I am partially enjoying the game and partially successful and they are paying me. But honestly, two more years is about all I can take.

I think the biggest thing for me is being able to adjust to the way the game has changed. It's basically a 180-degree turn from the style I like to play. That's what I think I'm most proud of, being able to fit into this style of game and still be fairly successful.

I'm good at everything.

Baseball has all the money.

I'm known as a winner now.

I don't like hockey. I'm just good at it.

My son's 8 he loves his skateboarding and his bike and his snowboard.

I'm scared to death to fly commercial I have not flown commercial since 9/11.

You have to know how to score.

You know what? I did! I impressed myself just making it.

How's the game changed in my 15 years in the league? Well, we used to be called hard-working players. Now we're overpaid crybabies.

It's like the animal kingdom. Adapt or go extinct.

Hockey is its own game. It's completely different than all the other games, although it's getting way too close to soccer.

Bob Goodenow will kill me, but if we're going to be realistic about things, probably 75 per cent of the league is overpaid. But we're not paying ourselves. There are people giving it to us and no one is putting a gun to their heads. Something has to be done if we're going to fix this.

I bet you there's a lot of guys who dream of having a girl that fine.

Anything that's signed by me on EBay is a forgery and not authentic.

I am 10 times smarter than everyone else in this game. Beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Losing is essential to anyone's success. The more you lose, the more you want to win.

He's the kind of guy who will stab you in the back right to your face.

If you have an active mind, it always helps. You know, people who don't do crosswords, their minds fall asleep. That's why I do them-my mind is always working. One day my brain is going to explode through the top of my head.

I'm not dumb enough to be a goalie.

I'm scared to death to fly commercial... I have not flown commercial since 9/11.
