You could not get away from this story.

How did you feel about her, Amy Fisher, being nicknamed the Long Island Lolita?

What did that do to somebody from Long Island?

Well, first of all, nobody is going to care, but I'm a huge Nabokov fan.

So I loved the book Lolita and I felt like, how dare they use this terminology in this regard?

I mean, it's just despicable is what I felt.

But at the time I was so young, I wasn't thinking about how she was being exploited in the process while also having made these horrific decisions, obviously, which are inexcusable.

Do you think that that's why this story, this crime is so ever present in our memories because we are her age and it just was flabbergasting that some 17 year old was dating this old man and then just tried to attack, kill,

his wife.

I mean, I don't know if I think about it like the age.

I was probably a couple of years older then.

If it was 92, I was probably 20, but certainly close enough in age.

I think to me, I felt like I know these people's voices.

I know these accents.

I can imagine that guy who runs the shop, runs the auto body place.

I can see this girl.

I can see her in that outfit.

I can see the things.

I really went...

oh my God, I know these people.
