A collection of quotes by O. J. Simpson.

O.J. Simpson, whose full name is Orenthal James Simpson, is a former professional American football player, actor, and television personality. He was born on July 9, 1947, in San Francisco, California. Simpson gained recognition as a highly successful running back during his career in the National Football League (NFL) in the 1970s. He played for the Buffalo Bills from 1969 to 1977 and later for the San Francisco 49ers from 1978 to 1979.

Simpson's football career was highlighted by various achievements, including becoming the first player in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season (1973). He also achieved the league's Most Valuable Player (MVP) award that year. Moreover, Simpson was selected to the Pro Bowl five times and won many other accolades during his football career.

Following his retirement from football, Simpson pursued a career in acting and appeared in several movies and television shows. However, his life took a dramatic turn when he became the criminal defendant in the infamous 1995 trial known as the O.J. Simpson murder case. The case involved the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. Despite a highly publicized trial, Simpson was acquitted of the charges in a controversial verdict that garnered significant media attention.

Since his acquittal, Simpson has had a relatively low public profile. He has made occasional appearances on television and faced legal issues unrelated to the murder trial, including a conviction in 2008 for armed robbery and kidnapping. Today, O.J. Simpson's life and career continue to be subjects of interest and discussion for many, reflecting the complex and controversial nature of his legacy.
