When my mother died, and when my father died, it's big. Our parents are giants; they're titans of our lives, so of course it's going to be a big deal.

The big things in the average person's life are the romances that they have - and then the destruction and loss of them. Parents, siblings, children, the death of parents, family tension... these are monumental things. They struck me as being interesting to write about. I didn't have a very exotic life, but all this stuff happened to me.

Our lives are so hectic and full, and we have a big family right now.

It wasn't really a big deal,

What people do in their private lives, these are not big issues that our country's dealing with.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. Of course, I want to be the guy in the net, but at the end of the day, you have to win hockey games.
