Ted Bundy
Quotes
„I don’t think anybody doubts whether I’ve done some bad things. The question is: what, of course, and how and, maybe even most importantly, why?“
„I don’t know all of what you’re speaking about Lucky [Severson, reporter interviewing him] it’s too broad and I can’t get into it in any detail. But I’m satisfied with my blanket statement that I’m innocent. No man is truly innocent. I mean we all have transgressed some way in our lives and as I say, I’ve been impolite and there are things I regret having done in my life but nothing like the things, I think, that you’re referring to.“
„I wanted to become a part of my defense because I am such a part of it. Obviously I’m going to bear the consequences, so why not bear the responsibilities?“
„A factor that is almost indispensable to this kind of behavior [serial killing] is the mobility of contemporary American life. Living in large centers of population, and living with lots of people, you can get used to dealing with strangers. It’s the anonymity factor, and it has a twofold effect. First of all if you’re among strangers you’re less likely to remember them, or care what they’re doing or what they should, or should not, be doing. If they should or shouldn’t be there. Secondly, you’re conditioned almost not to be afraid of strangers. Mobility is very important here. As we’ve seen…the individual’s [himself in third person] modus operandi was moving large distances in an attempt to camouflage what he was doing. Moving these distances, he was able to take advantage of the anonymity factor.“
„This guy doesn’t want to be caught. He doesn’t want to play around. He’s not Son of Sam and he’s not even the LA Hillside Stranger. He doesn’t want notoriety. That’s why he’s going to all these length to dispose of these people in the way that he has.“
„I think I stand as much chance of dying in front of a firing squad or in a gas chamber as you do being killed on a plane flight home. Let’s hope you don’t.“
„I didn’t know what made things tick. I didn’t know what made people want to be friends. I didn’t know what made people attractive to one another. I didn’t know what underlay social interactions.“
„Listen, I’m no social scientist and haven’t done a survey. I don’t pretend to know what John Q citizen thinks about this. But I’ve lived in prison for a long time now and I’ve met a lot of men who were motivated to commit violence just like me. And without exception, every one of them… was deeply involved in pornography. Without question, without exception. Deeply influenced and consumed by an addiction to pornography.“
„Sure, I get angry. I get very, very angry and indignant. I don’t like being locked up for something I didn’t do, and I don’t like my liberty taken away, and I don’t like being treated like an animal, and I don’t like people walking around and ogling me like I’m some sort of weirdo, because I’m not.“
„Okay, you’ve got the indictment, that’s all you’re gonna get… I’ll plead not guilty right now.“
„…just like anybody else with an obsession, whether it be fishing, bowling or skiing, he has ways he can vicariously satisfy it. Maybe he is going to peep shows and reading detective magazines. I think there’s an excellent chance that one way he gets off is by going to look at what that call the slasher films.“
„I just said that the Hawkins girl’s head was severed and taken up the road about twenty-five to fifty yards and buried in a location about ten yards west of the road, on a rocky hillside. Did you hear that?“
„I’m not looking for anything. I understand now a lot of stuff about myself that I didn’t understand then. It makes me realize what was going on. The senselessness of it appalls me although I’m sure not so much as those who were so close to it.“
„I’m not gonna be in this room when that jury walks in. I’m not going through this and you knew that, your honor. You know how far you can push me….. You wanna make a circus? You got a circus. [points to prosecutor] I’ll rain on your parade Jack. You’ll see a thunderstorm. This will not be the pat little drama you’ve arranged.“
„Tell the jury they’re wrong!“
„…well meaning decent people will condemn [the] behavior of a Ted Bundy while they’re walking passed a magazine rack full of the very kinds of things that send young kids down the road to be Ted Bundys.“
„Those of use who are, who have been so much influenced by violence in the media, in particular pornographic violence, are not some kinds of inherent monsters. We are your sons and we are your husbands. And we grew up in regular families. And pornography can reach out and snatch a kid out of any house today. It snatched me out of my home twenty, thirty years ago.“
„In my opinion, the best chance you have of catching this guy is to get a site with a fresh body and stake it out.“
„I’m not guilty? [Laughs] Does that include the time I stole a comic book when I was five years old? I’m not guilty of the charges which have been filed against me.“
„I have known people who … radiate vulnerability …. Their facial expressions say ‘I am afraid of you.’“
