I can separate very well. I can do everything I need to do as a player. I'm not the fastest guy always, or the strongest guy, or the biggest guy, but I always get the job done. I'm a workaholic.

I play a complicated position in an intensely team-oriented game.

I think my main objective is to watch as many players as I can and grab a little bit from each of them, especially the things they do well.

I've got a great team around me. They keep me working hard; they keep me focused.

I like being part of teams that go into things that people don't think are doing very well and getting into them to do better.

For me, I've learned that the best thing is to focus on the team you play for and yourself and what you need to do.

I keep my head straight by having the right people around me, from my friends and family to my management and my team. They all keep me in my place. If I didn't have them supporting all the work that I do, I wouldn't be in such a solid place.

I feel like in order for our team to have the upper hand, I have to play extremely well, and I have to bring the rest of the team with me. That's how I feel approaching every game.

My life has always been compartmentalized into different aspects. I have my speed skating Olympic pursuits, I have my personal life and have my business life and have my entertainment - TV - Hollywood - whatever have you - always compartmentalizing every aspect of my life.
