“We are at war with men, and most women don’t even know it.”

I consider myself a lesbian, but I’m a bisexual lesbian.

Instead of being a well-known painter, I became everybody’s favorite dirty joke. Come to think of it, teaching masturbation skills is pretty weird.

We are constantly protecting the male ego, and it’s a disservice to men. If a man has any sensitivity or intelligence, he wants to get the straight scoop from his girlfriend.

We all have our individual romantic or idealistic ideas. To get information that masturbation is our basic form of sex is hard, because who wants to admit they’re masturbating?

The media only wants to get the view of the flaming radicals because they make better copy than those of us who are more sensible. I’m a feminist and I think I’ve done a lot of good.

It’s just blind luck when a woman is born into a wealthy family and attends the best colleges and joins top sororities.

The powers that be understand that sexual freedom or liberation with any kind of joy means they are losing control.

Masturbation is a meditation on self-love. So many of us are afflicted with self-loathing, bad body images, shame about our body functions, and confusion about sex and pleasure, I recommend an intense love affair with yourself

I consider the 70s to be the youth of old age. So all you women out there who are afraid of getting older, just keep your orgasms in place, eat a lot of vegetables, take exercise, and you’ll be fine.

Although my Dad was a talented calligrapher and both of my younger brothers were successful, I was the first one in my family to graduate from high school.

Vaginal penetration only doesn’t work for most of us. And we’re not all meant to be monogamous either, especially since women are capable of having far more sex than men. Try to get that fact across in America!

The women working at abortion clinics are really on the front lines and the true heroes of feminism.

When I do documentaries, my best information ends up on the cutting-room floor. People have trouble dealing with sexual honesty.

Women don’t run around saying, “Oh, I took a Bodysex workshop, and I had so much fun, and Betty Dodson taught us how to blah blah.” They come, they go, and I rarely hear from them again.

When I found out after that first successful exhibition that the gallery wanted me to do another show like the first one, I come out two years later with four 6-foot drawings of classical nudes masturbating. The gallery director flipped the freak out!

The clitoris is the female sex organ, and the fact that we aren’t told that when we were small children is devastating. We grow up with no information about the pleasure center of our body.

It’s better to just plough ahead. And if I say something they don’t get, I just make fun of myself for assuming that everybody knows everything about where I live.

You know, I’ve had my ups and downs.

When you get old, it’s hard to tell what’s memory and what you’ve kind of created in your head as memory, you know?

The one thing I know is that if you’re not paying attention, it will come back to bite you.

I can come off as pretty arrogant, but it’s because I know I’m right.

I want it to be so that when No. 27 is out there, they don’t know what’s going on because I do it all.

I know I can act and it doesn’t matter where you come from.

I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I’m always confident.
