I'm so different from the egotistical, self-centred person I was when I did those things. And to watch someone acting out your memories on the screen is like reliving it. Like someone taking you back and showing you what you did.
From Frank Abagnale
People care about others in their immediate network.
I didn't like taking money from individuals.
If I had walked into a dry cleaning store, and I had looked over, and the register drawer was open with money inside, I wouldn't have taken it.
I think I was so successful, not because I was brilliant, but because I was so young. I had no fear of consequences.
Had I been older - maybe 25 or 30 - I would have never tried half the things I did because I would have rationalized everything and never did it.
I didn't sit outside the bank and plan. I just went in and ad libbed because I was so young. But I was smart enough to know I would absolutely get caught.
You get to a point in your life where you go, 'I don't remember what I did.'
If I wanted to lay down a baby con, I could say I was the product of a broken home. But I'd only be bum-rapping my parents.
I don't believe that a piece of paper will excuse my actions. In the end, only my actions will.
