Quote

I have been addicted to crime since I was born. I was making up crime stories when I was a 4- or 5-year-old kid.

I don't know that I am fascinated with crime. I'm fascinated with people and their characters and their obsessions and what they do. And these things lead to crime, but I'm much more fascinated in their minds.

I am convinced now that virtually every destructive behavior and addiction I battled off and on for years was rooted in my (well-earned) insecurity.

I've done a lot of things in my life that I'm not proud of.

I am an addictive personality.

I have the obsessiveness of someone who's a sober, recovering addict displacing his addiction. Except I never had the addiction.

I do believe that I'm an addict on one level or another at all times.

I can still crack a safe with one hand tied behind my back. I'm not proud of it. But I was always against society.

I admire anyone who rids himself of an addiction.
