When I was 15, they changed the playground rules because I was dominating everything and blocking everything that came my way.

I'll always be Number 1 to myself.

I never thought I'd lead the NBA in rebounding, but I got a lot of help from my team-mates - they did a lot of missing.

I was on the playground all night. I ain't never go to parties or nothing. I'd get out of school at 3 and be out there playing until one in the morning with one streetlight. For real.

I'm never gonna try it, because you got to pay a lot for cocaine, and that's not the way I want to spend my money.

To be a great offensive rebounder, you have to think like a defensive rebounder and battle for position while also being in the flow of your offense. And then it's just being determined.

I came up in a small town ghetto and I never did think I'd be a celebrity or famous athlete, I was just loving to play the game of basketball. And I worked hard at everything I did.

The only reason people are saying I'm the number-one player is because I'm with the number-one team.

When I retire, I wanna be able to just lay back. Only way to make it happen is to be investing my money, not spending it.

I don't talk to reporters, because they're gonna write what they want to write, so let 'em write what they want to write.

I figure a lot of folks are probably looking to find out if Moses Malone is into that stuff, but the closest I come to drugs is drinking a Coca-Cola. I don't want that cocaine; it's not for me.

You must invest quality time in your land to become great

If circumstances are always the rulers, the shallow existence of instant gratification will keep us as mere spectators of our lives. Get up! Clarify! Get in the game and live!

Truly listening, attentively, and with care, is one of the simplest and most kind gifts we can give anyone.

It is greed that makes us human as it could be for good or bad.

I still feel-kind of temporary about myself.

Mystics always hope that science will some day overtake them.

I'm not going to allow myself to second-guess projects. I'm just going to do the ones that I fully love and believe in - that's a real privilege.

Success for me is just having a job and have the studio feel confident that I can go out there and make a movie that people will enjoy.

The most essential quality in the game is passion

I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things.
