Ted Bundy: Conversations with a killer

HA: <...> You've commented on how wrong some people have been in describing Ted Bundy. Yet they've generally only interpreted what you've promoted via your behaviour. You give people a feeling of being very cold, calculating, mocking. Cold hearted, very methodical. I think that at one time you probably hid behind this kind of facade; it was needed by you when you didn't feel like you were a part of things and so on. <...> TB: No, you haven't been soliciting my... soliciting me in that way. I mean it's just... I mean to say, "Well gee, why doesn't Hugh ever give me a detailed rundown on his childhood and his family life? What his kids are like? And his home? Is he cold? Is he calculating?" That's not it at all. That's not our goal here - to be, you know, long-lost... HA: I'd tell you all that if you asked me, though. TB: Yeah. HA: But there's no reason for it to be that way. TB: There's no reason for me to inquire into your love life or your domestic affairs. And yet, if I don't do that, people say, "Well, he's cold and distant."
