I think Charles Manson was a hair's breath away from just being a terrorist. He wanted to start a war, too.

My daughters have grown up knowing all about my kidnapping and the case and what happened.

And, quite frankly, I fully expected to be charged with murder, because they weren't charging anybody. I did it in terms of, I felt like I was throwing down the gauntlet saying look, this is what happened. There's a family out there that needed to know what happened.

There's always some days you wish things had never happened, like you'd never been born, that sort of thing but I'm not the kind of person anyway that can just sit around and say, "gee, I wish that never happened." I don't ever do that. There's no point. That is a total and complete waste of time.

And, you know, like I said, I'm not looking forward to a trial.

Well, you know, it's really been, you know, quite a trip for me.

Even to me, as I was trying to tell the government what had happened, it just didn't seem to matter.
