"At one stage she almost had me until I fell on top of her and repeatedly bashed her head against the concrete." - About killing victim Winifred Ashton.
"I don't know. I just see these ladies and it seems to trigger something. I just have to be violent towards them." - When asked why he had murdered his victims.
"Well that's what I can't work out. That's the part that everyone's trying to work out. Maybe you can help me. Half of me is white and half of me is black. Half of me is good and half of me is bad. But I can't understand this gray matter in the middle." - When asked why he had murdered his victims, during a prison interview.
"The Granny Killer and the Bulli Rapist... what a team." - What he said when he joked about himself and another inmate dubbed the "Bulli Rapist", who worked together in prison.
"Not a problem. You know where to find me." - What he said to a couple authors who were writing a book about him, when asked if he would autograph a few copies.
"It never occurred to me to worry about who they were, or why I killed them. If I saw their photos in the paper, they meant nothing to me. I wanted to stop killing, but couldn't, no matter what. As the killing was over, I returned to a normal life and I didn't think about them." - What he said in a prison interview.
"I've had enough. I want to kill myself." - What he told his prison guards, who then placed him on suicide watch in May 2005.
