Interview Polanski gave to the novelist Martin Amis in 1979, the year after Polanski went on the run.
The interview originally appeared in Tatler and is collected in Amis’s Visiting Mrs. Nabokov.
Quote:
“If I had killed somebody, it wouldn’t have had so much appeal to the press, you see? But... f—ing, you see, and the young girls. Judges want to f— young girls. Juries want to f— young girls. Everyone wants to f— young girls!”
Later in the interview, Polanski says he likes Paris, to which he’d fled, because it’s “very grown-up”.
