Quote #190596
I’m a weird big guy. Doing rapping, doing movies. Do a lot of stuff. But always do things the right way.
Shaquille O'Neal
About This Quote
This quote needs no introduction—at least for now. We're working on adding more context soon.
Interpretation
O’Neal frames his public persona as deliberately eclectic: a physically imposing athlete who also pursues entertainment (rap, film) and other ventures. Calling himself “weird” signals comfort with being unconventional and crossing genre boundaries, while “big guy” acknowledges how his size shapes how people perceive him. The pivot—“But always do things the right way”—asserts an ethical through-line beneath the showmanship: experimentation and ambition are acceptable, even admirable, so long as they’re grounded in integrity and professionalism. The quote thus reads as a compact self-portrait of a celebrity-athlete negotiating multiple identities while insisting that character matters more than novelty.
