Couric: “Well, they certainly didn't get the $33.5 million that—“

Simpson: “No, and they're not going—“

Couric: “--that civil judgment asked for.”

Simpson: “Yeah and they’re not going to get it from me. I'm not breaking any laws. If I have to work-- if by working in-- I have certain laws in Florida that I can-- but if any work that I do results in them getting money, I will not do it. I didn't do the crime. I'm not going to pay them a dime. And that's the name of that tune, you know.”

Couric: “So, you'll never pay this judgment?”

Simpson: “I'll never do anymore than what the court tells me I have to do.”

Couric: “In one interview in the New Yorker, you said that when you go out to eat, you won't sit with your back to the room. Do you worry about your physical safety?”

Simpson: “Well, I don't ever recall doing an interview with the New Yorker.”

Couric: “It would have been July 9, 2001.”

Simpson: “I don't remember doing the interview. But I don't, you know, I can't worry about my -- you know, I don't live my life in -- I try to teach my kids, we don't live our life in fear. For a few years when my trial first ended, I had a security guard with me.

And he-- it was more because people were coming to the house. They were hanging outside our house. From time to time now, I have a security guard with me.  Because if I'm going out and I know I'm going to drink, I'm, you know, I've been such a target  for various people and for, well, to the police, you know, I've got to admit that the Miami Police have been great.

“It's the media that take these little incidences where they come see it and leave and turn it into a whole different incident. But that's the only time I actually have security guards around me is if I'm going out and I know I'm going to be drinking so that they drive. And just make sure that what tends to happen with celebrities especially in Miami with hip hop and everything that it doesn't happen to me.”

Couric: “You're often referred to as a pariah. And you beg to differ.”

Simpson: “Well, you know, you can refer to me whatever you want. I go most places I want. Everywhere I go, people are fine in restaurants. And anybody who's traveled with me will tell you that they can't believe it.

Most of my friends will not travel, vacation, unless they're with me.  Because they love the fact they don't have wait in lines. And even from the Vatican to Las Vegas nightclubs they rush me in. And they have somebody help us. And half the time I don't even have to pay the bill.”
