I just like to keep my money in the bank I'm not a big risk-taker. I don't know anything about the stock market... I stay away from things I don't know anything about.

More quotes by Wayne Gretzky
I love everything about hockey.
Wayne Gretzky
I don't like my hockey sticks touching other sticks, and I don't like them crossing one another, and I kind of have them hidden in the corner. I put baby powder on the ends. I think it's essentially a matter of taking care of what takes care of you.
Wayne Gretzky
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.
Wayne Gretzky
The only way a kid is going to practise is if it's total fun for him... and it was for me.
Wayne Gretzky
Lifting the Stanley Cup for the first time. There's nothing like it. It's the greatest story. In my era, they used to say you couldn't be a superstar without winning one. I remember thinking when I lifted it: Now they can't say that about me.
Wayne Gretzky
It's kind of ironic when I broke in at 17, I was told I was too small, too slow and I wouldn't make the NHL
Wayne Gretzky
Most people marry their mother. I married my father.
Wayne Gretzky
I wasn't a great skater and I needed my skates to be perfect - really tight around the ankles. But I couldn't break in new ones because my feet would hurt so much. I wore a size 9 shoe and a 6.5 skate - my foot was really crunched.
Wayne Gretzky
I knew at a young age, whether I was playing baseball or hockey or lacrosse, that my teammates were counting on me, whether it be to strike the last batter out in a baseball game or score a big goal in a hockey game.
Wayne Gretzky
The only shot I ALWAYS miss, is the one I don't take!
Wayne Gretzky
Hullie's a lot like a garbage can. You step on the pedal with your foot and the top opens up.
Wayne Gretzky
We're in a tough situation because of teenage children, and then we have a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old, so my family and my responsibilities is sort of a juggle.
Wayne Gretzky
When I broke into professional hockey at 17 I was told that I was too small and too slow and I wouldn't make the NHL. Now it's kind of flip-flopped and the sense is I can't be a good coach because I was a great athlete.
Wayne Gretzky
It's easier to lose than to win.
Wayne Gretzky
If I had to pick three players to start a franchise, I'd choose Hasek, Peter Forsberg and Eric Lindros.
Wayne Gretzky
Good players skate to the puck. Great players skate to where the puck is going to be.
Wayne Gretzky
And people who know me would tell you that away from hockey I'm really not that competitive.
Wayne Gretzky
You miss every shot you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
As a player, you have one responsibility, to focus yourself and be ready for the game. As a coach, your responsibility is to get 20 guys ready and have them all on the same page. If you can't get every guy ready every night, you're going to struggle.
