You can't be what you don't see. I didn't think about being a doctor. I didn't even think about being a clerk in a store, I'd never seen a black clerk in a clothing store.

We've tried ignorance for a thousand years. It's time we try education.

We know that more than seventy to eighty percent of women masturbate, and ninety percent of men masturbate, and the rest lie.

I don't know how anybody can say that who looks at what's happening to our young people and what's happening to our country, all because of guns. The NRA is putting themselves in a position where people will no longer trust them. They've been trusted in the past, but now their credibility is on the line.

We can begin to address the issue of guns by teaching our young people how to deal with situations in nonviolent ways. Someone said to me the other day, "What our adolescents need is not so much health care, but healthy caring," and I agree. Parents and churches need to provide that. Curricula in our schools [need to] provide that.

Guns kill more teenagers than the other big killers - heart disease, cancer, and AIDS - combined.

[On masturbation:] I think that it is part of human sexuality, and perhaps it should be taught.
