Although New York real estate heir Robert Durst has shown little emotion during his murder trial in Galveston, Texas, his time on the witness stand has produced some memorable lines. Some highlights:
"I hated that wig."
***
Referring to a librarian he met while posing as a mute woman: "I started to talk to her. I was in my third or fourth sentence. She was just looking at me, her mouth open. She knew I was a man who could talk."
***
"It seemed to me the big problem was Robert Durst. I wanted to not be Robert Durst."
***
Durst: "He died struggling for the gun. I did not kill him."
Prosecutor: "He was killed, was he not?"
Durst: "I like 'died' better."
***
To a prosecutor: "Did you just say murder? Did I let you get away with that? I'm not supposed to let you get away with that. Morris Black was not murdered."
***
"I did not kill my best friend. I did dismember him."
***
"It was like waking up from a dream, or a nightmare, with blood everywhere. I remember blood everywhere. I remember like I was looking down on something and I was swimming in blood ... I don't know what is real, and I don't know what is not real. That is what I remember."
***
"I cleaned it up as well as I could. I threw water everywhere with Mr. Clean. I did not see any blood when I was finished cleaning up."
