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

One of the things I've tried to do with my life is redefine the boundaries that I think are very limiting. I'm not suggesting that everybody should have three girlfriends, or necessarily have girlfriends living with them. I think there are many, many options to living your life.

I tried to make some difference, and I think I managed to do that.

I do think the reality is, there is a general recognition of what I've accomplished.

Smoking helped put me in touch with the realm of the senses.

There's always been a little bit of the crusader in me, and you need dragons to slay, without the conflict and the controversy I think that what I managed to do less, and I take a great deal of pride in the accomplishment.

Part of the sexual revolution is bringing rationality to sexuality. Because when you don't embrace sexuality in a normal way, you get the twisted kinds, and the kinds that destroy lives.
