Patty Hearst

“I mean, Emily Harris was his wife. And she seemed to resent his leadership, but on the other hand, she felt like a good soldier, that he had to be the leader.”

“It's hard to know what to say about somebody like that, except there are people who look for trouble. And trouble is very easy to find when you go looking for it.”

“I had been, you know, held in the closet for two months and, you know, abused in all manner of ways. I was very good at doing what I was told.”

“They called themselves an army. They were planning on recruiting more armies. They were planning on splitting up and forming smaller cells and going into different areas, recruiting more members and just growing until they had started a full scale war in this country.”

“For me, my awakening came when I was kidnapped.”

“Even to me, as I was trying to tell the government what had happened, it just didn't seem to matter.”

“There is - you know, there's receipts for rented cars and license plates and guns and hand prints and palm prints and fingerprints. You know, I want to wait until I'm in a court.”

“And you probably remember all of those papers and documents that they had published in the newspapers. And, you know, when you look at that, it really was their own little jihad that they had going. It just wasn't taken very seriously then.”

“But even before that, in 1980 I went so far as to write a book about what had happened. And I wrote all about the bank robbery, I went ahead and printed it even though I had no use immunity for it.”

“And here in Los Angeles, once again, I'm going to go down and be a witness. There's a guilty plea. I don't mind being on the witness stand, but I think they mind it a lot.”

“You know, my daughters have been through their entire lives and knowing about my case.”

“I frankly don't think it's going to be a successful war on terrorism until law enforcement agencies like the FBI are willing to share with other law enforcement agencies. If they can't share information, there's no way this war can be won.”

“I finally figured out what my crime was. I lived. Big mistake.”

“But now Americans, they felt a sense of peace and protection because they've been separated by so many thousands of miles of ocean. And you know, the fact that it's come to the U.S. like this is so sad, and yet you know, what can you do? It's here.”

“I was not inside the bank. But I am still not the only witness.”

“There are two other SLA members who have been granted immunity and then also, one of the SLA members had confessed to two other people, and those people, I'm sure, will be called as witnesses, as they were at the grand jury.”

“You know, sitting in the car when they got back in and - first of all, it was relief. I was not - there were two get away cars or switch cars they were called. And, you know, the group tended to include everyone.”

“My daughters have grown up knowing all about my kidnapping and the case and what happened.”

“And, you know, like I said, I'm not looking forward to a trial.”

“I think Charles Manson was a hair's breath away from just being a terrorist. He wanted to start a war, too.”
