No relief was forthcoming from my then-Catholic faith which said the practice of homosexuality was a 'mortal sin' subject to damnation.

And I think my sexuality was heavily repressed by the church by the you know the design of the mortal sins.

All women do have a different sense of sexuality or sense of fun or sense of like what's sexy or cool or tough.

I think change is possible but only for individuals who were never truly gay in the first place and who have a strong personal motivation to recover their heterosexuality.

This film business perhaps more so in America than in Europe has always been about young sexuality. It's not true of theatre but in America film audiences are young. It's not an intellectual cinema in America.

I feel by posing for Playboy I've discovered my own sexuality and beauty and I feel more confident than ever.

It's not fair the emphasis put on beauty or on sexuality.

A lot of directors idealize their leading ladies or turn them into these objects of sexuality and beauty.

Muslims have a very bad attitude to homosexuality they're very intolerant.

I think people feel threatened by homosexuality. The problem isn't about gay people the problem is about the attitude towards gay people. People think that all gays are Hannibal Lecters. But gay people are sons and daughters politicians and doctors American heroes and daughters of American heroes.

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.

We shouldn't feel restricted by our sexuality and our sexuality doesn't have to be a cultural choice. That's an amazing variety of music within those five main performers.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

I can't really define it in sexual terms alone although our sexuality is so energizing why not enjoy it too?

I've always felt that sexuality is a really slippery thing. In this day and age it tends to get categorized and labeled and I think labels are for food. Canned food.

I always thought that I might retire from any form of sexuality by the age of 40 and just become a dignified older person.

If repression has indeed been the fundamental link between power knowledge and sexuality since the classical age it stands to reason that we will not be able to free ourselves from it except at a considerable cost.
