- Himself - Criminologist: This was somebody who didn't know how to express affection, how to express love, how to give and take, how to deal on a day-to-day basis with another human being in the way that you and I might engage on a day-to-day basis with other human beings.
- Herself - Defence Attorney: There was a lot of frustration because she wasn't able to earn as much as she was when she was younger an-and more attractive, and she had the pressure from Tyria Moore to make more money. More, more, she had to go out more; and, uh, she wanted to spend time with Tyria, and the only way Tyria would spend time with Lee is if Lee had the money.
- Narrator: Aileen Wuornos robbed and killed seven men. The press would christened her The Damsel of Death, but her best friend, Dawn Bodkins, refuses to forget her good side.
- Herself - Childhood Friend: Poor Aileen, after her horrible life - the teenager being bad, twenties being bad, thirties being bad, then death row - she wanted to go home to God. That's exactly what she did.
- Himself - Prosecutor: [on multiple murders] If they all incur... occur in one community, uh, it is much easier to realize you're dealing with a serial killer. Uh, in this case, they were spread over, uh, uh, uh... better than a hundred miles.
- Himself - Criminologist: She had so much going wrong in her young life that it would have been very difficult indeed for her to have prospered in the world, or indeed to have survived in our world. The way that she was brought up, the things that happened to her - how she was always on the margins of society, struggling even for something to eat and to gain something that would nourish her through selling sexual services - seemed to me to write a script for Aileen Wuornos that was impossible to put down until the very last act.
- Himself - Forensic Psychologist: [as to Aileen's strict grandfather] Larry held very very tight reins on the family. Um, his-his own wife was-was alcoholic. Alcoholism ran through the family and was almost like a... basically, a daily way of life.
- Himself - Defence Attorney: She is said to be the first female serial killer in a non-caregiving capacity.
- Himself - Criminologist: It can clearly be an accident, that first murder, but if the person isn't stopped as a result of that first murder, what they begin to realize is if... e-effectively they "breathe out." They're holding their breath because they're expecting to be arrested, and then when they're not, they breathe out; and, for some killers, by breathing out and not being arrested, they interpret that as "Well, let's do it again."
- Himself - Forensic Psychologist: She did strike up a relationship with her brother, which was sexual and was possibly detected to some degree, um, by her adopted father.
- Himself - Criminologist: This was a young girl who was prepared to sell sexual services for cigarettes. This young woman's self-worth, this young woman's understanding of how she could survive in the world was almost totally determined by her willingness to engage in sexual activity inappropriately.
- Narrator: She later claimed the pregnancy was the result of being raped.
- Herself - Childhood Friend: That's when the kids said "Look at her. She's already been... had a baby. She was a prostitute. Nobody should hang out with anybody like that." Didn't realize that she was raped.
- Herself - Forensic Psychologist: She didn't have a healthy relationship with anybody, male or female. There was never any sense of attachment emotionally to anyone. There was never any sense of safety and security, which most people and children - especially babies - need desperately.
- Himself - Forensic Psychologist: [on Aileen's strict grandfather] On a daily basis, the strict regime that was imposed became militaristic. He was quite, you know, vicious. The beatings were very regular. It was done in a ritual manner. She would have to actually clean the strap that she was beaten with, and she was beaten in a quite a pseudo sexual way. Um, this MAY have actually loosened her morals, but, then again, they may have been fairly loosened already.
