From an early age I knew very strongly the lust to kill.

A weak man in a corner is more dangerous than a strong man.

I have wanted . . . to commit a murder myself. I recognized this as the desire of the artist to express himself! . . . But-incongruous as it may seem to some-I was restrained and hampered by my innate sense of justice. The innocent must not suffer.

One must make one's own mistakes

I do not argue with obstinate men. I act in spite of them.

I've got an uncle myself. Nobody should be held responsible for their uncles. Nature's little throwbacks - that's how I look at it.

One place is very like another.
