Personnality

" Why do I kill? It's not about hatred, or, or revenge. I'm not a dark person. Killing human beings, it just makes me... Ah, incredibly happy. You know, in-in-in films, when you see dead people, pretending to be dead, and it's just living people lying down? Well, that's not what dead people look like. Dead people, look like things. I like to make people into things. Then you can own them.
