Mr. Lennon would want me free, and I`d like to clear that up.
Once you take a life, that`s it. I don`t even deserve to be here.
I don`t think I`m a celebrity. A chimpanzee could have done what I did.
I willingly took John Lennon`s life. What I did was despicable.
I`ve pent up all my aggression, kept swallowing it and swallowing it.
I feel that I see John Lennon now as not a celebrity. I did then. I saw him as a cardboard cutout on an album cover.
I wanted to be videotaped.
I really didn`t mean to hurt anybody. I liked John Lennon.
I was a master at keeping my feelings in.
It`s a horrible thing to realize what you`ve done.
I wasn`t angry the night I shot him.
I just shot John Lennon.
