Taken from an interview from late 1988 (on the Words and Music promo)
Interviewer: "We've said before, 'Ted, Just Admit It…' is not about Ted Bundy the mass killer, but you did use…"
Perry: "It was just a coincidence. We found a piece of tape that had a voice on it and it just happened to be his voice too. Which is another real, real big coincidence. And then I found out that he was a killer so that really threw me."
Interviewer: "Now, the big line in that song is the repetition 'sex is violent, sex is violent.' Is that the way you feel?"
Perry: "Yeah. And love is like hate. It's kind of– everything is relative. Don't you think?"
Interviewer: "Does every action have its reaction? Does every yin have its yang? Is that part of it?"
Perry: "Yeah, I would say so, but that's not really the angle of thought that I'm thinking of. I'm thinking that there's all these fine lines that separate things; let's say good and evil, right? And sex and violence have a very fine line that sometimes are crossed."
