Despite the solace of hypocritical religiosity and its seductive promise of an after-life of heavenly bliss, most of us will do anything to thwart the inevitable victory of biological death.

I am not a sentimental person.

I always said all my life, if I wasn't born and they gave me the question, I'd say, I don't want to be born.

The single worst moment of my life... was the moment I was born.

I didn't do this for other people; I did this for me. I fought for this right for me - does that sound selfish?

I'd find it demeaning to be cleaning toilets.

I don't crave publicity, you know.
