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'll always be Number 1 to myself.

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

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.

When you have mastered fear then you have mastered all.

When your spirit is heavy, when your heart is broken, when your burdens seem unbearable - trust Him. Look to Him.

Don't ever turn down pleasure because you were afraid of what other people might say.

A high performer is someone who says, 'I want to be the best at what I'm doing.'

I like everything loud, over the top, dramatic.

It's true: Every time you kill an elk, you're saving some cow's life.

Few would deny that blacks have become very dominant in athletics: football, basketball, track, now dominant in tennis and dominant in golf.

I only find out where countries are when we start bombing them.

Does a man shrink from change? Why, what can come into being save by change?

Kids lead a very private life.
