After world war all we got was a lot of conformity, and conservatism and when I was in college at the university of Illinois the skirt lengths dropped instead of going up as they had during the roaring twenties and I knew that was a very bad sign, and it is symbolic and reflective of a very repressive time, and some of that was laid the feet of the cold war.

In my wildest dreams, I could not have imagined a sweeter life.

Life is too short to be living somebody else's dream.

If you let society and your peers define who you are, you're the less for it.

You stay in touch with the boy who dreamed impossible dreams.

The major civilizing force in the world is not religion, it is sex.

I guess you could say, I'm just a typical Methodist kid at heart.
