Always keep your composure. You can't score from the penalty box; and to win, you have to score.

What we've seen this season is that if something that will enhance performance is available, some players will indulge... unless the penalty is an absolute deterrent.

I always practise penalties, but what people don't understand is that you can never recreate that pressure situation that you're under.

You want to play in every game, and you especially don't want to be in the penalty box for five minutes and give the other team a chance to get a power play, and you don't want to hurt anyone on the other team.

I play the game as honestly as I can. If the referee gives a penalty there is nothing you can do.

I could give 48 penalties in every match if I wanted to. It is a question of sometimes choosing what is - in your own mind - of material importance and what isn't, what might be a crucial potential penalty and what might not be.

The stiffer the penalty, the greater the message is sent.

It was a fair decision, the penalty, even though it was debatable whether it was inside or outside the box.

You can take 100 penalties in training, but when you go out on that pitch in front of all those people and the television cameras, it's completely different.

My approach every game is to try to keep the ball down and get ground ball outs.
