I think I've been a great citizen.

If there wasn't no fight, there wasn't no weekend.

I did not have anything to do with these murders. Ever.

I didn't beat her. I just pushed her out of bed.

Money takes wings. The only thing that endures is character.

I've been very clear. I won. I didn't commit the crime.

I'm absolutely, l00 percent, not guilty.

I have always wanted to be liked and respected.

What do you mean you have my children at the police station? Why are my kids at the police station?

The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuses, that's the day you start to the top.

I had one fight in my adult life. I had the famous '89 fight with Nicole, which she admits that she initiated the physical part.

I tend to watch a little TV... Court TV, once in a while. Some of the cases I get interested in.

I don't know how often I can discuss one incident in my entire life, but I'll continue to do that.

Nicole 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.

I think I've been a great citizen.

I'm enjoying the money, the big house, the cars; what ghetto kid wouldn't?

Oh my God, Nicole is killed? Oh my God, she is dead?

My NFL pension can barely pay my son's tuition. You know, it's very little money.

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.

I really have reached a point where I can write a book about all of this.

The fear of losing is what makes competitors so great. Show me a gracious loser and I'll show you a permanent loser.

It's like the old thing: The parents stay together for the kids, but the kids know that you don't want to be together. The kids would rather you be happy - and separate - than together and miserable. I don't want my kid to grow up around two parents who just don't work.

When you're a chef, you graze. You never get a chance to sit down and eat. They don't actually sit down and eat before you cook. So when I finish work, the first thing I'll do, and especially when I'm in New York, I'll go for a run. And I'll run 10 or 15k on my - and I run to gain my appetite.

I work very much on the principle that anything created by mankind has mischief and error hardwired into its inception.

I have lived under totalitarian Communism, so I prize freedom as much as anyone and have long fought for freedom of conscience and speech.

I've been asking myself: 'Why put together these things - CDs, albums?' The answer I came up with is, well, sometimes it's artistically viable. It's not just a random collection of songs. Sometimes the songs have a common thread, even if it's not obvious or even conscious on the artists' part.

That subject has lost its one time appeal to economists as our science has become more abstract, but my interest has even grown more intense as the questions raised by the sociology of science became more prominent.

Life is just a bowl of cherries, dont take it serious, its mysterious. Life is just a bowl of cherries, so live and laugh and laugh at love, love a laugh, laugh and love.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon for each day to have a new and different sun.

The level of our educational development is high and serves as a strong basis for our future progress.

Life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better.

Lies require commitment.

Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

There comes a time in every man's life when he needs his own toilet.

Nature is based on harmony. So it says if we want to survive and become more like nature, then we actually have to understand that it's cooperation versus competition.

Putting out the things that I like best hasn't been the easiest way to run a label, and it still isn't because it requires finding an audience for each record.

The key to sitcom success is miserable people. If you see a happy couple, it's just gone, like when Sam and Diane got together on Cheers.

I am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it.

The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential.

I have with me two gods, Persuasion and Compulsion.

Why anybody gets my sense of humor I never know, but I do know that when they do, I keep them as close as I possibly can.

We are bemused and crazed creatures, strangers to our true selves, to one another, and to the spiritual and material world -- mad, even, from an ideal standpoint we can glimpse but not adopt.

When I went to Paris, I had a lot of ideas about it that were formed in the sort of ether that flows about if you watch too many recent Woody Allen movies or took French classes as a kid. I was certainly full of those.

The phenomenon of home schooling is a wonderful example of the American can-do attitude. Growing numbers of parents have become disenchanted with government-run public schools. Many parents have simply taken matters into their own hands, literally.

Grandmasters decline with age. That's a given. There is nothing special about the age of 40, but age eventually takes its toll. That much is clear. Beyond that, it's about how long you can put off the effects and compensate for them. Mistakes will crop in, but you try to compensate for them with experience and hard work.
