"From the start, all I wanted was for someone to love me. I desperately 
wanted to be loved but I never could give the appropriate love in return. 
I seem to have a need to hurt those people that I love the most. This 
is true in relation to my family and to Jodie Foster. I love them so much 
but I have this compulsion to destroy them. On March 30, 1981 I was 
asking my family to take me back and I was asking Jodie Foster to hold 
me in her heart. My assassination attempt was an act of love. I'm sorry 
love has to be so painful." - John Hinckley, Jr.
