Quotes By Mark David Chapman

I willingly took John Lennon's life. What I did was despicable.

I really didn't mean to hurt anybody. I liked John Lennon.

I just shot John Lennon.

I don't think I'm a celebrity. A chimpanzee could have done what I did.

I was a master at keeping my feelings in.

I wasn't angry the night I shot him.

Once you take a life, that's it. I don't even deserve to be here.

It's a horrible thing to realize what you've done.

I've pent up all my aggression, kept swallowing it and swallowing it.

Mr. Lennon would want me free, and I'd like to clear that up.

I feel that I see John Lennon now as not a celebrity. I did then. I saw him as a cardboard cutout on an album cover.
