Maybe I should have killed four, five hundred people. Then I would have felt better. Then I would have felt like I really offered society something.
So for you people who are filled with fear that I might someday be released: breathe easy, I don't see it happening.
If we don't wake up to that, there's going to be no weather because our polar caps are melting because we're doing bad things to the atmosphere,
My life is not important here.
Most of the people at the ranch were just people you did not want, people that were alongside the road.
There is no way that you can know the taste of water unless you drink it or unless it has rained on you or unless you jump in the river.
I'm involved in too many things. I have a Web site I'm working on.
All the men in the joint raised me up, told me what to do, what was right and wrong, told me when to sit down, when to stand up, I just did whatever I was told.

I said 'Where's my magical powers at?' Well, you can't believe what you read in the press. I ain't got no magical powers or mystical trips or anything like that. It's kind of silly.
Anything you see in me is in you. If you want to see a vicious killer, that's who you'll see, do you understand that? If you see me as your brother, that's what I'll be. It all depends on how much love you have. I am you, and when you can admit that, you will be free. I am just a mirror.
How old am I? I'm as old as my mother told me. How's that?
I was so smart when I was a kid that I learnt that I was dumb fast.
Why couldn't we put on a defense? I had seventeen witnesses standing outside the door. They just dropped the defense and went on to the penalty phase. Like everything was cut and dry before it went off to martini land.
Just because you're convicted in a court room doesn't mean you're guilty of something.
