I got more and more politically active and just followed the course of feminism and sexual liberation.

Familiarity with your lover is what initially makes sex really good.

Human beings like variety, and they also like partnership... these are scientific values we can point to.

People who love science fiction really do love sex.

There are also just as many, if not more, women who are anxious to hold down the status quo.

I'm like the kid in kindergarten; I really do send valentines to everyone.

I'm a Mommy's Girl - the strongest influence in my young life was my mom.

Now I have to have the biggest P.O. box in the entire post office to get all the manuscripts coming in.

I'm writing a new book right now that is like an erotica manifesto.

There is more criticism of puritanism, and more distance from Christian morality, than there has been before.

You name the demonstration; I was at it.

I think moms need to share information on a regular, intimate basis.

I see the effects of sexual and gender liberation all around me, just like you do, but I don't have a sense of being in the majority.

I had a hard time publishing my books in the beginning of my career, because editors were afraid what people would think of THEM, personally, if their name was associated with me.

In fact, I think for a lot of writers, it's so hard to be read.

I had no idea that mothering my own child would be so healing to my own sadness from my childhood.

I love turning my daughter on to old movies.

My idea of the ideal sex education site doesn't exist.

It's not that sexual liberation or feminist messages are dead.

Doing the right thing for someone else was like a tonic for me; it was like some magic ointment that made a wound disappear.

You have to calendar time for yourself even if you have no idea what you're going to do with it.

I think that you have to do everything you can do to empower girls when they are young, from their education, to their successful independence, to their sexual self-knowledge.

Finding people who get enormous pleasure from reading books is a more and more unusual experience, and so writers just so much want to be heard.

So that would be a classic mixed message to young women: you should look a certain way that's going to destroy your reproductive system and your sexual appetite, but at the same time, you should be interested in sex!

You have to calendar time for yourself even if you have no idea what youre going to do with it.

I think we will have a boy baby and he will be born on the 20th of August. Everyone else has a girl baby and at times I don't believe I should mind having a little Phyllis Dawn but Dearest wants a boy and I do.

In fact I have nightmares about having children. I want to carry a baby and feel the life within me and in my dream, I do. But every time after it's born, there's this incredible fear, this pounding pulse of fear. It's a real bad nightmare.

Being a father, well, I don't know if this is a change, but it makes me want to get out of here faster. Get off the clock. Just 'cause the baby is my reason for living, my reason for coming to work.

Well ironically my last three roles have all been a mother. One was a Canadian film where the baby was taken away because she is a drug addict, in Irish Jam I play a mother to a four year old. I think in the future I'll be able to handle the role with a lot more depth.

This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.

I don't like my hockey sticks touching other sticks, and I don't like them crossing one another, and I kind of have them hidden in the corner. I put baby powder on the ends. I think it's essentially a matter of taking care of what takes care of you.

Babies don't need a vacation, but I still see them at the beach... it pisses me off! I'll go over to a little baby and say 'What are you doing here? You haven't worked a day in your life!'

Having a baby dragged me, kicking and screaming, from the world of self-absorption.

I didn't have any problem bonding with Honey, but I was plagued with insecurities about my ability to bring up my baby.

I got introduced to audiobooks because of having a baby.

I've been chased through airports with a screaming baby because the photographers are ruthless, and they want the picture.

The thing that stood out above and beyond all the experiences was this relationship with the nine-month-old baby. On weekends, I'd be thinking about going back to set on Monday just to see the baby.

But at the same time that the experience is pulling you apart, it's also bonding you. You have this joint venture! You both made this baby. And that's the thing I still can't get over.

My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening.

I met my wife and, for the next ten years, we did no films at all. She did the first movie and then I did several after. My first movie was written by Tennessee Williams and directed by Kazan and was called Baby Doll.

Yes, I've kissed a lot of guys. I like to kiss, but that's it. I don't go home with anyone. I sleep with my animals, like my baby monkey, Brigitte Bardot.

Carrying a baby is the most rewarding experience a woman can enjoy.

If we intensify our efforts we can have a cloned baby within a year or two, but I don't know whether we can intensify our efforts to that extent. We're not really under pressure to deliver a cloned baby to this world. What we are under pressure to do is to deliver a cloned baby that is a healthy one.

And when our baby stirs and struggles to be born it compels humility: what we began is now its own.

My father described me as the oldest baby he'd ever seen. I apparently was very serious and reflective.

Nobody took me too seriously but I was grown up even as a baby.
