I reread an extraordinary 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 Amiss excellent book Visiting Mrs Nabokov. Heres a section of the first quote it contains from Polanski.
If I had killed somebody, it wouldnt have had so much appeal to the press, you see? But fing, you see, and the young girls. Judges want to f young girls. Juries want to f young girls. Everyone wants to f young girls!
Thirty years have passed since Polanski said those words, so hes had time to reconsider them. Whether hes actually done so, we dont yet know. Perhaps he still thinks its true that everyone fancies little girls, and that the press was exaggerating the enormity of his crime, and that all this somehow excuses his behaviour.
Later in the interview, Polanski says he likes Paris, to which hed fled, because its very grown-up.
Unlike the 13-year-old girl with whom he admitted having unlawful sex.

The first company on the list is "ABC Distribution", which I believe is a subsidiary of Disney Inc - they certainly distribute many Disney-owned shows. Now, perhaps it's possible that Disney spun-off this particular company, or it's an entirely different company from ABC Distribution/US. I suppose that's possible.
If it's not, why is a Disney subsidiary supporting an admitted pedophile? The list may be found here.
There are forms of life that have adapted to living in urban sewer systems, in which entire new sewer-based ecosystems are evolving; and from the point of view of these organisms, the entire universe is a sewer.
This explains the quote.
Okay, who put the sand in the Vaseline?
No, I don't. I am also not turned on by women who are half conscious due to booze and Quaaludes.
You’re nasty. Keep it up!
As a father of 13yr old girl, I can attest to the fact that there are plenty of creepy 40 somethings out there. I’ve stared down a few of these creeps myself. They turn away pretty quick when they know they’re caught. Sick, Sick, Sick.
Hmm...well, yes, I will admit to lusting after 13-year-old girls. When I was 12.
I think this is why the Swiss “caught” him.
Polanski might not have just stopped with one. IN HYPOTHETICAL terms, perhaps he found a victim that was connected with a politician in europe. One set of laws for “da peeples” another for the effete elites.
Well, yeah, Roman, I absolutely wanted to do thirteen-year-old girls...when I was thirteen.
Everyone does it.
Liberal Perverts != Everyone
Polanski needs a 2x4 party with the Chicago boys.
It's amazing how many on the left have come out to defend this man. Whoopi's "It's not rape-rape" was sickening.
Polanski was not the only “monster”.
Larry King Live - Feb. 24, 2003
GEIMER: I didn’t tell her. I actually later that night I called my then — who is now my ex-boyfriend, and...
KING: How old was he?
GEIMER: He was 17, and I was almost 14.
...
KING: You were a virgin?
GEIMER: I just figured I wasn’t — no, I wasn’t.
KING: You were not a virgin?
GEIMER: No, I had a boyfriend for quite some months before that.
KING: So you had had sex before?
GEIMER: And embarrassing as it is, I’ll tell you, yes, we did it once. So that was about as close as you can get to being a virgin but just one step away.

Her grand jury testimony says “twice” by the way.
KING: Maybe it’s because of the years, but neither of you feel particularly angry at Roman Polanski.
GEIMER: No. Not anymore. Not even then. I mean, it just...
KING: No?
GEIMER: Well, yes, I was angry because he was the cause of the publicity and the publicity was the worst thing that ever happened to me.
KING: But not angry that he had sex with you.
GEIMER: The publicity was so terrible, that — and so immediate that it just overshadowed everything that happened that night.
This makes him just like a lot of other Hollywood directors and producers. Of course they want him forgiven. You can’t swing a dead cat in Hollywood without hitting a perv.
I hear you. I think raping little girls and young “aspiring” actresses is standard procedure. It is like a badge of honor for Hollywood.
Very good question. He has proclaimed his attraction to young girls. It seems likely that he would have continued to be attracted to young girls. I wonder where he went to indulge in his fixation.
Yeah
I worked there in the mid to late 70’s as a packager of film finance. Whatever evil you might attribute to Hollywood, take it and multiply times 4. For instance, one out of 4 Hollywood actors are homosexual, and they now control the agenda for what gets produced, and what doesn’t.
Polanski, I don’t fantasize about little girls. I like women old enough to share adult interests and subject matter. I like women who are old enough to realize the ramifications of their actions. I want women who can teach me a few things as well as learn a few things during our relationship.
I do not seek or dream of intimacy with children that are still six to ten years away from leaving their parent’s home. I don’t want to feel like a pre middle-school kid. I don’t want a thirteen year old to feel like an adult.
It isn’t appealing for me to think of having sex with a child. It’s a turn off. It’s a taboo that I would avoid. My self gratification isn’t more important than the healthy mental growth of a young person.
Even if I were to desire a young woman, it would be enough to be with that person who actually desired me. I wouldn’t need to go way beyond the pale with a first timer. I would treat them gently, having a lot of concern for their experience.
After hearing what you did to this young woman, it’s not only apparent that you don’t have any self-control, but that you are a selfish animal. You did this for your own ego, and to hell with the girl’s ego or mental state.
You did this against her will. You used drugs and alcohol to facilitate the crime. You did things that were just plain evil to this girl. And now you state that everyone is merely jealous, and that’s why they are after you.
I’m not jealous of you, you son of a bitch. I am angry with you because of what you have proven yourself to be. You are an evil vile despicable animal, who can’t even at this point in time admit that what you did was very wrong.
May your ass rot in a jail cell, until such a time as God is ready to judge you and send you where you belong.
