• Fred Goldman : [referring to OJ Simpson answering the questions asked to him during his deposition in the civil lawsuit]  He'd lied about everything! There's not one honest bone in his body. He's lived a life of fraud and being a fake for God knows how many decades, to a point where I think he just believes his own bull.

• Fred Goldman : [on being present during the deposition of O.J. Simpson for the civil trial]  Listening to him was everything from disgust to astonishment.

• Fred Goldman : [on the book If I Did It]  Everybody is more than willing to jump in and play his game. Because it's money for him and then it was gonna be money for them. Well, we wanted to put an end to it. As the largest debtor we got the rights to the book. So we read it and we were shocked. It was as close to the confession as you could ever get. We made one change and one change only: The title of the book. We took the word if and made it very small, and laid it into the letter I. So it was If... I Did It. We were hearing all over the place, we were wrong for doing it. You know what, it was, okay, you think we're wrong, so what?

• Fred Goldman : [after winning the civil trial]  Total: $33,000,000. We were so shocked at the figure, it was astonishing. But what people don't realize about a civil trial is that a judgment is a piece of paper, and that is what you get. Then, it becomes the creditor's responsibility to figure out a way to collect on it.

• [reactions to O.J. Simpson's 33-year sentence after being found guilty for robbery] 

  Yale Galanter : Listen, I think anybody who is happy that any human being is gonna be stuck in a cage is a horrible person. This is not a happy day for anybody.

  Fred Goldman : We're thrilled. It's kind of a bittersweet moment, knowing that that SOB is gonna be in jail for a very long time. And he's gonna be where he belongs, with others of his kind. And he can complain there.
