You'll never catch me bragging about goals, but I'll talk all you want about my assists.
Wayne Gretzky
I'm very proud of our NHL players. I think they all handle themselves extremely well and they all work really hard.
Wayne Gretzky
I missed 100% of the shots I didn't take
Wayne Gretzky
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.
Wayne Gretzky
I don't think any one person will ever be bigger than the game.
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
I think the Americans are ready to play, they want to beat us. I think that players like Chris Chelios and his leadership over there goes a long way.

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 skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.
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
A lot of times, I can turn and pass without even looking.
Wayne Gretzky
I can't remember the last time I went to a game and there was a fight. I think they fight more in baseball now than they do in hockey.
Wayne Gretzky
Sometimes people ask, 'Are hockey fights real?' I say, 'If they weren't, I'd get in more of them.
Wayne Gretzky
People talk about skating, puck handling and shooting, but the whole sport is angles and caroms, forgetting the straight direction the puck is going, calculating where it will be directed, factoring in all the interruptions. Basically, my whole game is angles.
Wayne Gretzky
A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.
Wayne Gretzky
When I played in a 21-team league, there were six or seven goalies who were just average, and the equipment and pads were smaller. I came in the right era. I played for the right team. It was all speed, and creativity and imagination.
