Your Honor, I am in a difficult position. The news media has already executed me and buried me...If anyone is hypnotized, the people are hypnotized by the lies being told to them...There is no attorney in the world who can represent me as a person. I have to do it myself.
I'm probably one of the most dangerous men in the world if I want to be. But I never wanted to be anything but me.
The way out of a room is not through the door. Just don't want out. And you're free...
There's been fifty-million people that died since Sharon Tate died and I got everybody in Santa Claus land chasing me, trying to make me feel remorse for one psychotic episode of (Tex) Watson.
Death is the greatest form of love.
We're all our own prisons, we are each all our own wardens and we do our own time. I can't judge anyone else. What other people do is not really my affair unless they approach me with it. Prison's in your mind. Can't you see I'm free?
The POLICE used to watch over the people Now they are watching the people
Most of the attorneys just want the publicity of the trial. They don't care about the man at all. If there was some kind of writ that could get me out of here tomorrow, they wouldn't bring it, because they all want to go through the whole trial and wring every last drop of publicity out of the whole thing.
I told them that anything they do for their brothers and sisters is good if they do it with a good thought....
I will have you removed if you don't stop. I have a little system of my own.
I have killed no one and I have ordered no one to be killed.
All you fakers are in for it. I begged you on my knees and you didn't listen and now I can't hear you.
Time and circumstance made me into this Manson guy, Satan. Society wanted to buy this evil, mass-murdering-devil-fiend. I'm nobody. I'm the hobo in line. Give me a bottle of wine and put me on a train. I don't fit into the world you guys live in, so I live over there in the shadows of it.
My father is the jailhouse. My father is your system... I am only what you made me. I am only a reflection of you.
