“The person whose face is between your legs is gonna get lockjaw.”

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.

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.

Those [Watergate] tapes are going to take me to my grave with a huge smile on my face.

Climate change…is, simply, the greatest collective challenge we face as a human family.

No more distressing moment can ever face a British government than that which requires it to come to a hard, fast and specific decision.

In the face of evil, detachment is a dubious virtue.

Governments do not like to face radical remedies; it is easier to let politics predominate.

We face neither East nor West: we face forward.

I’ll keep going till my face falls off.

Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge.
