My Life Has Been Devoted To Trying To Bring A Little More Understanding To Human Sexuality - Not Just In Society, But Also Inside Myself. The Struggle Has Been Internal As Well As External. One Of The Reasons That I Have Such Tremendous Satisfaction At This Point In My Life Is Because I Know I've Made A Difference. I've Made A Difference In A Way That Really Matters To Me. I See A Lot Of Terrible Things Going On In The World, But There Are Some Good Things Going On Too, And I Feel I've Been A Part Of That. I Really Do Feel I Have Been On The Side Of The Angels.

I Had A Stroke In 1985... I Called It A "stroke Of Luck." I Said, "life Is Like A Train Trip. You're Looking Out The Window And Everything Is Whipping Past And You're Not Really Seeing Anything, And You Need To Get Off The Train And Walk Around A Bit."

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.
