I think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience.

Where do you go to get anorexia?

In those days, young stars, male and female, were all virgins until married, and if divorced, they returned magically to that condition.

I have bursts of being a lady, but it doesn't last long.
