Smoking helped put me in touch with the realm of the senses.

Living in the moment, thinking about the future, and staying connected to the past: That's what makes me feel whole.

I think that there's nothing wrong with masturbation. If you're not feeling good about your own sexuality and your own body, you're not going to feel good about anything else.

After world war all we got was a lot of conformity, and conservatism and when I was in college at the university of Illinois the skirt lengths dropped instead of going up as they had during the roaring twenties and I knew that was a very bad sign, and it is symbolic and reflective of a very repressive time, and some of that was laid the feet of the cold war.

Surrounding myself with beautiful women keeps me young.

America is just as much to blame as a lot of our enemies.

What surprises me about getting older is that I remain so young.
