Instead of being a well-known painter, I became everybody's favorite dirty joke. Come to think of it, teaching masturbation skills is pretty weird.

We are constantly protecting the male ego, and it's a disservice to men. If a man has any sensitivity or intelligence, he wants to get the straight scoop from his girlfriend.

The person whose face is between your legs is gonna get lockjaw.

A monogamous marriage and family is what some women want - but not all of us. We are mostly doing serial monogamy anyway.

If you tell a child "Don't touch yourself there," they will deal with some kind of sexual problem from then on, to one degree or other.

And we will keep searching for our footsteps in the sands of time...

In the arts, as in life, everything is possible provided it is based on love.

We're dead as a species if we don't tell stories, because then we don't know who we are.

The integrity that lives only on opinion would starve without it.

Hillary Clinton's done a terrible job for the African-Americans.

I know you will guess all I leave unsaid.

A lot of people consider my books to be straightforward, but I think that I write from atmosphere to atmosphere rather than from event to event.

What is adequacy? Adequacy is no standard at all.
