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.

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!

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

I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product.

After I'd produced about two dozen pen and ink drawings, one evening I decided that they needed poems to accompany them. I still have no idea where that notion came from, but it took me about two hours to produce verses for these creatures.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

What's fascinating is that when you write a script, it's almost a stream of consciousness. You have an idea that it means something, but you're not always sure what. Then when you get on the set, the actors teach you.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

From the beginning, the series has been story driven - I began with a story idea - but research feeds it.

As far as I know, only a small minority of mathematicians, even of those with Platonist views, accept the idea that there may be mathematical facts which are true but unknowable.

So my idea of neurotic is spending too much time trying to correct a wrong. When I feel that I'm doing that, then I snap out of it.

I'm into the idea of responsibility and edification and these things have found me and I have found them. I wanted to be in the movie and I made it known to Mike.

Religion has caused more harm than any other idea since the beginning of time. There's nothing good I can say about it. People use it as a crutch.

Many of the Europeans who want Israel to go away don't even know why they do. Nearly a third of those interviewed concede they have no idea what the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is all about. It's enough to know that Israelis are Jews.
