I can get a firestorm going anywhere in the United States by saying 'O.J.'

Can any of you seriously say the Bill of Rights could get through Congress today? It wouldn't even get out of committee.

In America, an acquittal doesn't mean you're innocent, it means you beat the rap. My clients lose even when they win.

The public regards lawyers with great distrust. They think lawyers are smarter than the average guy but use their intelligence deviously. Well, they're wrong. Usually they are not smarter.

I have never seen a major trial which lacked significant perjury, and I have yet to see that perjury punished.

I use the rules to frustrate the law. But I didn't set up the ground rules.

Fear is something you have to throw into a corner. Constantly. Because it never goes away.

I would strongly recommend any young man to stay away from criminal law. It's not a good place to be, unfortunately.

Among the rednecks of America, which there are many more than people seem to realize, it was terribly damaging. I got blamed for O.J.'s acquittal.

I enjoy personal injury cases. I've tried quite a few of those. And, frankly, any kind of litigation that is trouble-shooting, whether it's equities, suits and injunctions, or whatever.

Writing is a lifelong disease. Once contracted, the only prescription is to write constantly in whatever form to express your condition, in whatever construction to carry your words beyond you.

When you mess something up, you learn for the next time.

You trusted me enough to jump off the wall, and I caught you.

When you submit yourself to God and obey Him, you allow Him to do what He desires in your life. You make it possible for Him to lead you wherever He wants to use you.

I wanted to cry, but I realized that I was too old for that. I would be a woman soon and I would have to learn how to live with a divided heart.

As an actor, you can steer a scene in another direction by playing it a little differently. And honestly? I like being an actor, and I want to keep having a career.

I think I've realized that business and being polite [don't] match. You can be fair, but me being polite was not me being fair to myself.

The world is full of cravens who pretended to be heroes.

Without being aware of it, you take many things as being your identity: your body, your race, your beliefs, your thoughts.

I can be a badass DJ when I want, but I am also an insufferable music snob.
