The person whose face is between your legs is gonna get lockjaw.
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.
When I do documentaries, my best information ends up on the cutting-room floor. People have trouble dealing with sexual honesty.

I’m fully aware had I stayed with my art, I would be well known, respected and most likely rich.
