| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | [about the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman] I really have reached a point where I can write a book about all of this. |
| 2 | [about the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman] I don't know how often I can discuss one incident in my entire life, but I'll continue to do that. |
| 3 | [upon being told that his children had been taken out of his house to a police station] What do you mean you have my children at the police station? Why are my kids at the police station? |
| 4 | [on talking about his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson to his children] It will come up in conversations where it's in a part of the conversation. Or we may be somewhere and I would tell some story about their mother and I. You know, we always honor her birthday. |
| 5 | I'm enjoying the money, the big house, the cars; what ghetto kid wouldn't? |
| 6 | I have always wanted to be liked and respected. |
| 7 | I had one fight in my adult life. I had the famous '89 fight with [Nicole Brown Simpson] which she admits that she initiated the physical part. |
| 8 | I think I've been a great citizen. |
| 9 | I tend to watch a little TV . . . Court TV, once in a while. Some of the cases I get interested in. |
| 10 | [about allegations that he had beaten his wife Nicole Brown Simpson on at least one occasion] I didn't beat her. I just pushed her out of bed. |
| 11 | My NFL pension can barely pay my son's tuition. You know, it's very little money. |
| 12 | [upon being told that his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson was dead] Oh my God, Nicole is killed? Oh my God, she is dead? |
| 13 | Money takes wings. The only thing that endures is character. |
| 14 | [about the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman] I did not have anything to do with these murders. Ever. |
| 15 | [about the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman] I'm absolutely, 100 percent, not guilty. |
| 16 | I could not tell you the date of my mother's death. I could not tell you the date of my dad's death. These are not dates that I find significant. |
| 17 | [about the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman] I've been very clear. I won. I didn't commit the crime. |
| 18 | If there wasn't no fight, there wasn't no weekend. |
| 19 | [1970s, interview with Knight Ridder/Tribune News Service about his acting career] Obviously, I'm not Dustin Hoffman. I have to play an athletic type, just as Woody Allen has to play a wimp type. No matter how many acting lessons I took, the public just wouldn't buy me as Othello. |
| 20 | [1995, on his acquittal] When things have settled down a bit I will pursue as my primary goal in life the killer or killers who slaughtered [Nicole Brown Simpson] and [Ron Goldman]. |
| 21 | [1975, in Playboy magazine] The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuses, that's the day you start to the top. |
| 22 | [1998, in Esquire Magazine] Let's say I committed this crime . . . even if I did do this, it would have been because I loved her very much, right? |
