Amanda Knox

Our long history of exploiting women's bodies and suppressing their voices had a direct impact on my case and other women's lives.

I think the fact that my case was so sensationalized is because I am a white woman.

The best thing #MeToo did was say women's experiences matter. You can't blame us for what happens to us anymore.

I know that Perugia is probably the least-welcome place for me in the entire world.

I am a marked person, and no one who's unmarked is going to understand that. It's very intimidating. I don't even know what my place is anymore. What's my role in society? Who am I, after everybody has branded me?

People can take, take, take from you. There are people whose profession is to do that. It's entertainment at the cost of human lives.

When we label human beings and flatten them to just a splashy headline, we lose decency and the truth.

I'm definitely not going back to Italy willingly. They'll have to catch me and pull me back kicking and screaming into a prison that I don't deserve to be in.

Everybody tells me, 'You're famous.' And I answer, 'I'm not Angelina Jolie!'

If I'm guilty, I'm the ultimate figure to fear, because I'm not the obvious one. But, on the other hand, if I'm innocent, it means that everyone is vulnerable, and that is everyone's nightmare. Either I'm a psychopath in sheep's clothing, or I am you.

Now I have normal-person fears - fears of failure, of not being smart enough or strong enough or kind enough.

All wrongfully convicted people are portrayed as monsters. But there's a special kind of monster that is a woman.
