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.

I've always had a tremendously optimistic attitude about life, and the setbacks are never really setbacks for me, because I see it as a part of the adventure. And if you don't hold onto your dreams, you're a very foolish fellow, because dreams are what life is about.

I remain very much connected to my childhood... I have never been too jaded or too sophisticated.

I think getting married was a mistake along the way, but at the same time I wouldn't have the wonderful children I have if I didn't get married.

Sex is the driving force on the planet. We should embrace it, not see it as the enemy.

I've had death threats, but I've never been fearful for my life. Although I have traveled with security since the '60s.

It's hard to really compare new love and old love.
