"All of the sudden I realized that I had just done something that separated me from the human race and it was something that could never be undone, I realized that from that point on I could never be like normal people. I must have stood there in that state for 20 minutes. I have never felt an emptiness of self like I did right then and I never will forget that feeling. It was like I crossed over into a realm I could never come back from."
"People like me don't come from films. Them films come from people like me."
"People are like maggots, small, blind and worthless."

"If I killed them, you know, they couldn't reject me as a man. It was more or less making a doll out of a human being . . . and carrying out my fantasies with a doll, a living human doll."
"It was an urge. . . . . A strong urge, and the longer I let it go the stronger it got, to where I was taking risks to go out and kill people--risks that normally, according to my little rules of operation, I wouldn't take because they could lead to arrest. "

"Every man to his own tastes. Mine is for corpses."
"I hated all my life. I hated everybody. When I first grew up and can remember, I was dressed as a girl by mother. And I stayed that way for two or three years. And after that was treated like what I call the dog of the family. I was beaten. I was made to do things that no human bein' would want to do."
"Killing became the same thing as having sex."
"Sex is one of my downfalls. I get sex any way I can get it. If I have to force somebody to do it, I do...I rape them; I've done that. I've killed animals to have sex with them, and I've had sex while they're alive. "
"Satan gets into people and makes them do things they don't want to."
"Contrary to popular perception, the so-called Moors Murders were merely an existential exercise of just over a year, which was concluded in December 1964. "

"I would cook it, and look at the pictures and masturbate."
"My consuming lust was to experience their bodies.I viewed them as objects, as strangers. It is hard for me to believe a human being could have done what I've done"
"I couldn't find any meaning for my life when I was out there, I'm sure as hell not going to find it in here. This is the grand finale of a life poorly spent and the end result is just overwhelmingly depressing... it's just a sick, pathetic, wretched, miserable life story, that's all it is. How it can help anyone, I've no idea."
"It was like a nightmare, I was in a movie.' "
"I will in all probability be convicted,but I will not go away as a monster,but as a tragedy."
"Although my parents were kind and loving, I had none of the joys, or the companionship, which small children usually have. From my earliest years my recollection is of my father saying: 'Do no' or 'Thou shall not'. Any form of sport or light entertainment was frowned upon and regarded as not edifying. There was only condemnation and prohibition..."
"As I grew up I realized, though imperfectly, that I was different from other people, and that the way of life in my home was different from that in the homes of others....This stimulated me to introspection and strange mental questionings."
"In my dream I see before me a forest of crucifixes which gradually turn into trees. At first there appears to be dew or rain dripping from the branches, but as I approach I realize it is blood. Suddenly the whole forest begins to writhe. The trees, stark and erect, ooze blood. A man goes to each tree catching the blood in a cup. When his cup is full he approaches me. "Drink," he says. But I am unable to move."
"It is true to say that I was nurtured on Bible stories but mostly concerned with sacrifice. If by some mischance I did, or said, anything which my father regarded as improper, he would say: 'Do not grieve the Lord by behaving so.' And if I suggested that I wanted to go somewhere, or meet somebody, he would say: 'It will not please the Lord.' "

"The sixth commandment - 'Thou Shalt Not Kill' - fascinated me . . . I always knew that some day I should defy it."
"When I murdered my wife I removed the one obstacle which for ten years had apparently held me in check. After she had gone the way was clear for me to fulfill my destiny."
"A clown can get away with murder."
"The only thing they can get me for is running a funeral parlor without a license."
"That is what has been said in the media and at the trial. To this day nobody has produced one. There is no written confession, there is no tape recorded confession, there is no police stenographer typed confession .It was in my appeal, and the court refused to look at it and the state refused to answer it. If they had nothin’ to hide I can’t understand why they can’t produce one."
"Yes that’s true but the house wasn’t a home. Like what you..you know, what you go to a home to each night. The Summerdale house is rented to PDM contractors. There was 12 keys out to it. But that was never allowed to come out at the trial..as it would put doubt in the states theory. They didn’t want anybody to know that people had keys to the house. Plus the fact that I wasn’t always at the house, so others used it just as much…and again that wasn’t brought out at the trial as it didn’t fit with the states theory of the case that I committed all the crime."
"There was no smell. Over the years time other than when it rained, the musty odour was present. People were in and out of that house daily for years. And other than when it rained, there was no odour and certainly not like what some of the books said. That’s all fantasy. If that odour was there somebody would have noticed it sooner."
"Well apparently nothing as of December 13, 1978. There was 20 trained police officers came to the house, with a warrant..searched the house, and they went down in the crawlspace…while I was being held at the jail in Des Plaines, Illinois. They never took anything from the crawlspace other than bringing up lime into the house. There also were no mounds of dirt like what is mentioned in books."
"Because my trial attorney’s never did their job to investigate my claim, and it wasn’t until..we took over the investigation on my own that we learned of this. Even the F.B.I. joined in..in 1984 with their reasoning being that they wanted to know if others in other states disappeared or were murdered while I was in those states. The results shows that during the time of the victims disappearances in Chicago..I wasn’t even in Chicago. One judge said, so what if he was out of town for 16 of them, there are still 17 others. That alone should have raised some doubt."
"It wasn’t in the states best interest to let the jury know, they said it would raise doubt that John Gacy acted alone. The defence attorneys didn’t bring it out because it didn’t have..it didn’t go along with their insanity defence, showing others were involved."
"Yes I marked the spot in the garage..when I was back at the house on December 22. They had asked me with all of the rebuilding of the garage, which was the last area of concrete..in the last area where the concrete was poured. And they handed me an orange spray can and I put an ‘X’..that’s it! An ‘X’ over the spot in the corner of the garage where I thought the last area was poured. Now all of a sudden Kunkle claims that I not only drew an ‘X’, but I put an ‘O’ on top of it where the head was and made the ‘X’ look like it was a stick
figure..and that’s not true."
"I’m not interested in what the public thinks. My fight is in the courts. And while I have been fighting with the appeal it has been an uphill battle because I am an unpopular cause. Too much public pressure, too much politics. To give me a hearing so that I can prove that the state withheld evidence favourable to me, that the identifications of some of the victims was wrong, and that my attorney was more concerned about book rights and how sensationally more the case could get the higher the value of the book."
"Keep in mind the public has been brainwashed, and nearly 80% of what is known about me is fantasy and self serving theories of the state. But overall, I am an embarrassment of the justice system because if I am right then they are wrong and the killers are still out there. For political reasons it would be better that I drop dead, then they could all say what a great job they’ve done, and nobody else would be pushing for the truth to come out."
"If your talking about the Summerdale house and the bodies found there, we feel that some of them died of drug overdose, then buried alive. Trouble is the state never did toxicology on the victims, as they wouldn’t fit with their theory that they were all strangled. Even Dr. Stein say that the 13 died of suffocation and 10 were left undetermined, which leads me to believe that there’s...that they were not killed the way the state wants you to believe."
"Well first off I disagree with the state theory. As I think all they looked for was the easy way out and making it a sexual crime only was used to build up public pressure and distort the fact. The fact that a body is nude doesn’t mean that it was molested. Sometimes it’s done just to hide the identification, which I think is the reason that they were found that way. Our investigation showed that they were not…that some of them were not gay or hustlers. So the theory that they were looking for sex or were sexually doesn’t hold water. Our findings show more were involved in drugs, yet no toxicology was done on any of them. The runaways could have met with males selling males. We think it was a sex/drug ring."
"No I don’t think that’s possible. I think it…after 14 years under truth serum had I committed the crime I would have known it. There’s got to be something that would… would click in my mind. I’ve had photo’s of 21 of the victims and I’ve looked at them all over the years here and I’ve never recognized anyone of them."
"No. Of all the people who worked for PDM since most of it was sub contracted work, they were all young tradesmen. This is what the state would like for you to believe. But we have very little use for inexperienced teenagers. So they were mostly used for summer..for fillers. It doesn’t make sense to use a tradesman to do cleanup work on a job when your paying a tradesman $15 an hour and you can hire a young man or boy at say $7 or $8 an hour to sweep up after the contractors outta there."
"That’s another fallacy theory of the state. To my knowledge anybody that I’ve ever had sex with, male or female, are still alive. There wasn’t…I would have no reason, and most people that knew me knew that I was bisexual and open minded and very liberal. Any sex that I had was with consenting males or females.Over the past 14 years, I, John Wayne Gacy have been appealing my conviction for the murder of 33 young men and boys. And I’ve been sentenced to 12 death sentences and 21 natural life’s. Yet during that time on death row, over 25,000 people have written me with questions after reading the books, chapters, and articles, and the media’s slandered accounts on me. Not to mention the fantasy movie ‘To Catch A Killer’. There are 11 hardbound books, 39 other full chapters on me, 1 off Broadway play, 2 screenplays, 1 movie, 5 songs, plus over 5,000 articles which my name is mentioned in. And yet not one of these have taken the time to actually talk to me. Their research is all bogus. The reader had been left with a lot of unanswered questions and like when your putting together a puzzle, if you don’t have the right pieces there not going to fit together. And that’s what the person is left with, the general public. Your gonna have public believe 50% of what is said is true. And in my case it is just the opposite. Nearly 80% of what is known about me is fantasy. And it’s primarily because of no integrity in the writing of what was done, no research done in the past. And according to the state in the 6 year period John Wayne Gacy stalked the streets of Chicago and suburbs, I was supposed to have kidnapped people at gunpoint or manipulated young men and boys to come to the Summerdale house on the pretext of a job. According to the state, once they were in the house they were slipped and tricked in the handcuffs, forced to have sex, beaten and tortured and all killed by ligature strangulation and buried. 27 of them were supposed to be found under the crawlspace, 2 others found on the property, and 4 additional ones were given to me from the Des Plaines river. According to the states version of the case, this went back to…then I went back to running my construction business during the 6 years working 7 days a week, 12-14 hours a day. The state wants you to believe this fantasy theory based on a scenario of the above, and they could not tell anybody or they were beaten…they could not blackmail me. And that simply… it doesn’t hold water. The fact’s don’t match the fantasy! And it raises the doubt who John Gacy really is…the 34th victim."
"First of all I got less than 7 minutes left on this phone line…what I can see…what you can do is to…you can check…you can put yourself together and then I will call you on another day and you can in…or I could call you back at 6 or 6:30 at night?! Why don’t I call you back at 6 o’clock then I can get this all outta the way in one day."
"I don't remember killing anyone, I could have done it without knowing it. I am not sure if I did it."
"It tries to think for me. It says it will kill me if it gets me."
"There is no happiness without tears,no life without death.Beware! I am going to make you cry."
"Kill one and you might as well kill 21."
"I shan't shed a tear. Life is full of shocks of all descriptions and they have to be faced."
"After my head has been chopped off, will I still be able to hear, at least for a moment , the sound of my own blood gushing from my neck? That would be the best pleasure to end all pleasure. "
"In the case of Ohliger, I also sucked blood from the wound on her temple, and from Scheer from the stab in the neck. From the girl Schulte I only licked the blood from her hands. It was the same with the swan in the Hofgarten. I used to stroll at night through the Hofgarten very often, and in the spring of 1930 I noticed a swan sleeping at the edge of the lake. I cut its throat. The blood spurted up and I drank from the stump and ejaculated."
"Killing prostitutes had become an obsession with me. I could not stop myself. It was like a drug."
"The women I killed were filth-bastard prostitutes who were littering the streets. I was just cleaning up the place a bit."
"Big deal, death comes with the territory. See you in Disneyland."
"I've killed 20 people, man. I love all that blood."
"Even psychopaths have emotions, then again, maybe not."
"Killing is killing whether done for duty, profit or fun."
"We've all got the power in our hands to kill, but most people are afraid to use it. The ones who aren't afraid, control life itself."
"You maggots make me sick, I will be avenged. Lucifer dwells within us all."
"I have an obsession with the unattainable. I have to eliminate what I cannot attain."
"What I did is not such a great harm, with all these surplus women nowadays. Anyway, I had a good time."
"We wanted to do a crime that the world would have to stand up and take notice."
"I haven't blocked out the past. I wouldn't trade the person I am, or what I've done - or the people I've known - for anything. So I do think about it. And at times it's a rather mellow trip to lay back and remember."
"I just liked to kill, I wanted to kill."
"I want to master life and death."
"I'm the most cold-blooded sonofabitch you'll ever meet."
"Possessing them physically as one would possess a potted plant, a painting, or a Porsche. Owning, as it were, this individual."
"This is no way to be
Man ought to be free
That man should be me."
"You learn what you need to kill and take care of the details...Its like changing a tire...The 1st time you're careful...By the 30th time, you cant remember where you left the lug wrench"
"Since this girl in front of him represented not a person, but again the image, or something desirable, the last thing we would expect him to want to do would be to personalize this person. . . . Chattering and flattering and entertaining, as if seen through a motion picture screen."
"Sometimes I feel like a vampire."
"They wouldn't be stereotypes necessarily. But they would be reasonable facsimiles to women as a class. A class not of women, per se, but a class that has almost been created through the mythology of women and how they are used as objects."
"The fantasy that accompanies and generates the anticipation that precedes the crime is always more stimulating than the immediate aftermath of the crime itself."
"We all go a little mad sometimes."
"We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere. and there will be more of your children dead tomorrow. "
"When you work hard to do something right, you don't want to forget it."
"You feel the last bit of breath leaving their body. You're looking into their eyes. A person in that situation is God!"
"I followed the woman from the convenience store, to a driveway she pulled into. And I hung around several hours, till it come wee hours of the morning. Then I went into this house.. .I go to the first bedroom I see...I don't know whose room it is and, and, and, and I start stabbing."
"I went in and, and, and I don't know if it was her room, don't know if it was his room, I don't, I just knew I wanted to go in there and, and hurt someone."
"My life don't make a lot of sense.... It don't make sense that I go around the country killing people. Period. It don't make sense doing that."
"Take your worst nightmares, and put my face to them."
"Uh, you all haven't asked this, but I will go ahead and tell you this. Do I think I'm the one that killed this kid? Yes...Uh, if it wasn't this kid I killed, then there's a murder out there that, that we still ain't undug yet."
"I had an unspeakable delight in strangling women, experiencing during the act erections and real sexual pleasure. The feeling of pleasure while strangling them was much greater than that which I experienced while masturbating..It never occurred to me to touch or look at the genitals. It satisfied me to seize the women by the neck and suck their blood. "
"If the blue meanies are going to get me they'd better get off their asses and do something."
