Life is bittersweet. Inside our heads, if we're lucky, we're the same kids as we were when we were young.

The Westwood Cemetery is just a few blocks from my home, and a number of my very dear friends are buried there.

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

I don't have dinner parties - I eat my dinner in bed.

Loneliness doesn't have much to do with where you are.

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'm very comfortable with the nature of life and death, and that we come to an end. What's most difficult to imagine is that those dreams and early yearnings and desires of childhood and adolescence will also disappear. But who knows? Maybe you become part of the eternal whatever.
