“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 did large drawings of couples having sex! Men and woman enjoying intercourse and oral sex in a Madison Avenue Gallery? That was the first time I broke a barrier that made me think, some idiot is going to blow my brains out for sure.

Not all women are going to get married, be monogamous and raise a family. It will destroy the current social structure based on a sexual double standard that we’re currently living under.

The galleries are simply corporations in the art world – “Here’s a million dollars for this latest piece of crap” – but I’m not about to go along with the gallery system.

A monogamous marriage and family is what some women want – but not all of us. We are mostly doing serial monogamy anyway.

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.

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.

It’s okay to be confused. Confusion is the route to all the clarity in the world.

Accept people and situations as they are in life and then take action. The moment you do this, you’ll see you are out of the confusion about anything in life.

Through thickest gloom look back, immortal shade, On that confusion which thy death has made.

Plurality which is not reduced to unity is confusion; unity which does not depend on plurality is tyranny.

Self-actualized people…live more in the real world of nature than in the man-made mass of concepts, abstractions, expectations, beliefs and stereotypes that most people confuse with the world.

We, humans, are so tortured by not properly guessing what will make us happy.

Don’t confuse my kindness for foolishness. Understanding and forgiveness are two different things.

Confusion is very important as it let us choose something or someone and give us time to reflect on what we need.
