I can remember in my adolescence feeling that many of the things that were hurtful and hypocritical in society were things related to sex. They included the kind of censorship laws that existed in the movies and books when I was young.

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.

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

My parents are wonderful people and they instilled in me an idealism for which I'm grateful.

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.

The business end of business has never interested me.

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