The people who had the most impact on me when I was young were Freud and Darwin, but growing up I also had my film idols.

The women's movement kind of came out of left field in the 1960s and 1970s when they turned on 'Playboy.'

The women's movement, from my point of view, was part of the larger sexual revolution that 'Playboy' had played such a large part in. The reality is that the major beneficiaries of the sexual revolution are women.

What made the magazine so popular was, even before I started writing the philosophy, there was a point of view in the magazine.

When I was a young kid, girls were taught that their role in life was to get married and have children. It was the 1950s. Those were the rules.

I have amassed an enormous amount of songs about every particular condition of humankind - children's songs, marriage songs, death songs, love songs, epic songs, mystical songs, songs of leaving, songs of meeting, songs of wonder. I pretty much have got a song for every occasion.

Marriage is an extremely difficult relationship.

An irresistible passion that would induce me to believe in innate ideas and the truth of prophecy has decided my career. I have always loved liberty with the enthusiasm which actuates the religious man with the passion of a lover and with the conviction of a geometrician.
