I'm in Hollywood right now, surrounded by nothing but the sons and grandsons of movie stars.

I'm in favor of any form of sexual relationship that gives pleasure to those involved. And I have never heard a convincing argument to the contrary.

We are the United States of Amnesia, we learn nothing because we remember nothing.

I suspect that one of the reasons we create fiction is to make sex exciting.

A huge number of Americans still believe that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11. You have a people that don't know anything about the rest of the world, and you have leaders who lie to them, lie to them, and lie to them.

I am a correctionist. If something is wrong in society, it must be fixed. At least one should try to fix it.

I was taught to read by my grandmother. Central to her method was a tale of unnatural love called 'The Duck and the Kangaroo'. Then, because my grandfather, Senator Gore, was blind, I was required early on to read grown-up books to him, mostly constitutional law and, of course, the Congressional Record. The later continence of my style is a miracle, considering those years of piping the additional remarks of Mr. Borah of Idaho.
