Charles Manson has been called many things, a cult leader, a serial killer, a sociopath, a psychopath, but he's never been called "quotable". In many interviews Manson speaks gibberish and tries to appear crazy, he usually succeeds. He runs interviews like a circus with himself as the star attraction. This is a small sample of some of his craziest quotes during his jail house interviews. Many psychologist believe that Manson is a man who has lost touch with reality. But in a 1980 interview with Tom Snyder this was proved somewhat inaccurate, honorable mention goes to the Synder interview for the simple fact that Synder was able to control Manson by telling him to "come down off the spaceship." Luckily for us, not many reporters are as poised as Tom Synder, so here are some of the strangest things Manson uttered on camera.

Charles Manson Says He Has No Remorse
Remorse for what? You people have done everything in the world to me, doesn't that give me equal right? I can do anything I want to you people anytime I want to because that's what you've done to me! Maybe I should've killed 4 or 500 people then I would've felt better. Then I would've felt that I really offered society something. You've got it stuck in your brain that I murdered somebody. What do you want to call me a murder for? I've never killed anyone! I don't need to kill anyone! I think it! I have it here!

Charlie Rose: You get a lot of mail?
Charles Manson: Yeah
Charlie Rose: What do they say, these letters?
Charles Manson: Everyone's playing a different game with a thought. They're playing boats, and planes, and trains, and rabbits, and ducks, and um... swings, and hearts, and little girls, and everything you can think of. When we started the rainbow uh...uh the rainbow all the thoughts that go with that. The seed grows up from the ground, everything that starts to grow, grows up. You go down into the earth to plant something, you plant these seeds and this garden grows. It's the same thing in the garden in the mind.
Charlie Rose: I want to talk about that, but lets stay on your routine the facts of your life for a while. What about the scorpions, do you make scorpions?
Charles Manson: Yeah, I make little things out of string.
Charlie Rose: Where do you send them?
Charles Manson: Everywhere. Wherever they fit.
Charlie Rose: do somebody pay you for them?
Charles Manson: No.
Charlie Rose: Why scorpions?
Charles Manson: Well, it's not just scorpions I make all kinds of things. Scorpions are just one of the things I happen to make. I'm spiritually allied with the scorpion and the wolf. See spiritualism scares you people, because you've got this little stereotype church that you're buying and selling and you're trying to put God in a building. But God is much bigger than that little church and spiritualism is a lot more than they put into library’s and books.
Charlie Rose: Most religious people know that.
Charles Manson: Yeah well I am allied with certain awarnesses of the desert.
