I didn't tie anybody up. And I was never on a scene where anyone was killed. I think the law says you can only keep me seventeen or eighteen years if I was never on a scene where anyone was killed. I was never on the crime scenes. I didn't kill nobody, I didn't tell nobody to get killed. I didn't get no trial, but we don't wanna hear that- don't wanna mix anything up with the truth.
I was a beatnik in the '50s before the hippies came along.
Sure, I'm crazy. But that used to mean something. Now, everybody's crazy.
The real strong have no need to prove it to the phonies.
If I wanted to kill somebody, I'd take this book and beat you to death with it, and I wouldn't feel a thing.

Animals shouldn’t be hunted and nature shouldn’t be disturbed, even destroyed, to benefit the whims of mankind
I'm Jesus Christ, whether you want to accept it or not, I don't care.

If I wanted anyone killed, I'd kill them myself. But I don't want anyone killed because I love my own life. Does that make any sense? I love life and I love living, but no, I don't want to live in society. Society don't want me, why should I want them? I don't belong in society and there's no place in society that I fit.
