no:
LIFE: Do you regret that those people are not free and happy today?
Charles Manson: What do you think would have happened if the Manson Family hadn’t did what they did?
LIFE: Because of what you did?
Charles Manson: No. Because of what these kids did. You forgot?
LIFE: Are you at peace with yourself?
Charles Manson: Sure. How do you think I survived all this madness?
LIFE: You think your early suffering absolved you from later deeds?
Charles Manson: Yeah, yeah— later deeds? I’ve done nothing I’m ashamed of. Nothing I couldn’t face God with. I wouldn’t kill a bug.
LIFE: But you’d kill a person?
Charles: I’d probably kill them all if I could— is that what you’ve been waiting to hear me say?
LIFE: You said you live in darkness.
Charles Manson: I do. It’s away from the light. I don’t fit in the world you guys live in, so I live over here in the shadows of it.
