Americans are fascinated by our sexuality and frightened by it. And during the Reagan and Bush era you got an entire decade of anti-sex government. Sex is not the enemy. It is the beginning of civilization, family and tribe. Sex can be twisted and exploited, but in its most essential form, it's the best part of who we are. And it frightens us.

Picasso had his pink period and his blue period. I am in my blonde period right now.

I got married before I found myself. People should find themselves before they get married.

I always say now that I'm in my blonde years. Because since the end of my marriage, all of my girlfriends have been blonde.

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

In many ways, Im younger than I was 20 years ago.

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.
