I think a lot of parents live their lives through the kids. Because they didn't make it [achieve something], they want their kids to make it. It puts a lot of undue pressure on the kids.

I love everything about hockey.
Wayne Gretzky
I don't think any one person will ever be bigger than the game.
Wayne Gretzky
He brings something special. I don't know what it is, but if you ask him, you couldn't understand his answer.
Wayne Gretzky
We played in an era where you were taught to hate your opponent. But life changes. I raise my kids differently than my mom and dad raised their kids.
Wayne Gretzky
Maybe it wasn't the talent the Lord gave me-maybe it was the passion.
Wayne Gretzky
Look at guys like Larry Bird and George Brett and John McEnroe that's what they did in their careers. They all wanted to be the guy under the microscope late in the game or late in the match. So you just take on that know-how that that's part of your responsibility, and you learn that's what makes it exciting. That's what makes it fun!
Wayne Gretzky
The game is played out of instinct, but everyone on the ice has habits - good and bad. So the key to the game is to exploit the bad habits of your opponent.
Wayne Gretzky
I miss 100% of the shots I don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
Everything I did in hockey, I worked for.
Wayne Gretzky
No matter who you are, we're creatures of habit. The better your habits are, the better they will be in pressure situations.
Wayne Gretzky
The greatest thing about playing obviously is winning, and you can't replace that experience with anything.
Wayne Gretzky
There's no perfect coach in the world. Coaches are human, too. Mistakes are made. But, fundamentally, if you're sound, you eliminate as many mistakes as possible.
Wayne Gretzky
Nothing can replace the Olympics. I love the Olympics. I was so proud when I played in '98 and I was so proud when we won in 2002.
Wayne Gretzky
By no means could I play at the level of these kids who play in the NHL now but as 50-year-olds go, I feel really good and I feel blessed that I'm still healthy.
Wayne Gretzky
My answer is, why not? ... It's what I love, it's what I know. Glen Sather was the best coach that I had and what made him good was his confidence in what he did. I believe that I'm going to be a good coach.
Wayne Gretzky
I heard people say, 'Why would he want to do this?' My answer is 'Why not?' It is what I love. It's what I know.
Wayne Gretzky
Skating alone is an art. Doing it on a substance? I don't know. That's got to be tough.
Wayne Gretzky
It's just amazing how many companies suddenly want you to hold up their products after you've held up the Stanley Cup.
Wayne Gretzky
You know, I've held women and babies and jewels and money, but nothing will ever feel as good as holding that Cup.
Wayne Gretzky
I have absolutely no complaints about my life. But people think I got handed everything, all this kind of fell in my lap, that I was just God-gifted with all this talent. I wanted people to realize it's a lot tougher than just waking up one day and you're in the NHL.
