Living in the moment, thinking about the future, and staying connected to the past: That's what makes me feel whole.

I felt quite frankly having been raised during the depression and looking back at the roaring twenties, the jazz age, which was a very magic timer in my mind because it was something that I had missed.

In the '80s and '90s we started to have economic problems because society became more conservative. So we didn't have the wherewithal for expanding to other areas.

I think that the major message of my life and what I hope to be remembered for is someone who managed to change the social sexual values of his time absolutely.

Retirement is unthinkable to me. The future is bright and very exciting and I'm looking forward to playing a part in it.

Being attacked by right-wing Christians did not bother me. Being attacked by liberal feminists did.

In my own words, I played some significant part in changing the social-sexual values of our time. I had a lot of fun in the process.
