When Louis Met... Jimmy2000
Louis Theroux:
So, why do you say in interviews that you hate children when I've seen you with kids and you clearly enjoy their company and you have a good rapport with them?
Jimmy Savile:
Right, obviously I don't hate 'em. That's number one.
Louis Theroux:
Yeah. So why would you say that then?
Jimmy Savile:
Because we live in a very funny world. And it's easier for me, as a single man, to say "I don't like children" because that puts a lot of salacious tabloid people off the hunt.
Louis Theroux:
Are you basically saying that so tabloids don't, you know, pursue this whole 'Is he/isn't he a paedophile?' line, basically?
Jimmy Savile:
Yes, yes, yes. Oh, aye. How do they know whether I am or not? How does anybody know whether I am? Nobody knows whether I am or not. I know I'm not, so I can tell you from experience that the easy way of doing it when they're saying "Oh, you have all them children on Jim'll Fix It", say "Yeah, I hate 'em."
Louis Theroux:
Yeah. To me that sounds more, sort of, suspicious in a way though, because it seems so implausible.
Jimmy Savile:
Well, that's my policy, that's the way it goes. That's what I do. And it's worked a dream.
Louis Theroux:
Has it worked?
Jimmy Savile:
A dream.
[he yawns]
Louis Theroux:
Why have you said in interviews that you don't have emotions?
Jimmy Savile:
Because it's easier. It's easier. You say you've emotions then you've got to explain 'em for two hours.
[a pause]
Jimmy Savile:
The truth is I'm very good at masking them.
