I don't wanna die, I'm not gonna lie to you. I admit that…
“I don't wanna die, I'm not gonna lie to you. I admit that. And I'm not asking for clemency, I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm not asking for sympathy. I know they're gonna kill me sooner or later... you don't need to worry about that, but... there's a lot of crimes I can solve, if the state can just see fit to let me live for two or three years longer, I mean... Look, I know I'm not like other people, I know I can't... feel sympathy for other people. But I'm still human.”
