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

It was easy to leave the art world after I found out that it was just another corporation. When they told me I had to create the same thing, I rebelled.

I think my poems are slightly underrated by the word accessible.

It’s very hard for a man to ask questions about sex. The smart ones do.

Masturbation is our first and natural form of sexual activity and if that’s inhibited or damaged, then we suffer for the rest of our lives.

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.

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.

How pointless life could be, what a foolish business of inventing things to love, just so you could dread losing them.

When I talk about losing myself, which I did, it’s losing my idea of who I was and my idea of what I was supposed to be doing and the idea of what my value was to God. I lost all of that at least.

The tradition piece is so embedded in me I don’t know that I can see it any more, but the community piece is one I’ve been in danger of losing.

The things that stress me out haven’t changed. But I don’t wanna lose anything. So I thought that at least I would change. I’m lucky…that I’m afraid of losing something.

I was happy anywhere I could see the ocean.

I’m lucky that I’m afraid of losing something

The more my dream are fulfilled the quicklier they become realities losing their shine.

But I’d rather be the most-hated winning coach in the country than the most-popular losing one.
