I suggested that sex was not the enemy, that violence was the enemy, that nice girls like sex.

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

Historically the Puritans left England to escape religious persecution, and they promptly turned around and started persecuting the people they didn't agree with - the scarlet letter A, and the stocks and the dunking board came from that. That puritanism is still there.

I think that sexual oppression and dictatorship go hand in hand.

People project their own dreams, fantasies, and prejudices onto my life. So people are either fans, or jealous, or disagree. Everybody marches to a different drummer.

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.

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