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.

When I was young I had a security blanket and a pet dog. The dog got sick and died and the blanket had to be burned, so I guess I was trying to recreate the image of security in the bunny. It was a Citizen Kane/Rosebud thing.

What would make it very difficult to take society back to a repressive time would be technology. The arrival of the Internet.

People get their information in different ways now. And we are a little poorer for it, because the way you get information affects what you learn.

Surrounding myself with beautiful women keeps me young.

It's very difficult to censor anything anymore.

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.
