• Mike Gilbert : One night, I went to Rockingham, and we're drinking Rolling Rock beer outside, and he was smoking pot. He was looking around the backyard, reliving all the different events that had happened there. And I just asked him, what happened June 12th? And he asked me what I thought happened. I said, "I have always thought you probably did it." I said, "I know what you told A.C., that you went there, but you just went to see what was going on, but you didn't take a knife." He shook his head and he said, "Yeah." And he said that if she wouldn't have opened the door with a knife, she'd still be alive. I believed that for the longest time. And then I... He went there to kill her. He went there to kill her because of how she made him feel, being rejected. That she didn't need him. And then, of course, the Marcus factor. He was seeing Marcus was him 15 years younger. And I guess the part that bothers me about it, is he left the kids upstairs to walk out. They could've walked out and found their mom like that. I die tomorrow, I would know without a doubt that he did it. Not even a slight maybe that he didn't.

• Mike Gilbert : [on O.J. ordered to pay $33,000,000 to the Goldmans]  Oh, he knew he'd never pay. Because the system wanted to make certain that they got everything he had, they brought in the guy that handles the estates of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, and James Dean, to say that O.J. was in that same class, that he would make that kinda money for the rest of his life. As his agent, I'm sitting there, not gonna happen. Those people didn't murder anybody, or at least in the perception of America, he didn't murder anybody.

• Mike Gilbert : [after O.J. and his family moved to Florida where his home could not be confiscated by the Goldmans]  Oh, God. Florida was like a nightmare. I hate everything about Florida, everything that's happened in Florida.

• [on the ill-fated prank show "Juiced"] 

  Mike Gilbert : O.J. said, "If 90% of America thinks I'm a killer, who gives a shit what else they think?"
