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.

Out with stereotypes feminism proclaims. But stereotypes are the west's stunning sexual personae the vehicles of art's assault against nature. The moment there is imagination there is myth.

Obviously there's the seedy side of the strip club world and pole dancing. But pole dancing as an art form is really beautiful. It's been hyper-sexualized because it's associated with strippers but if you think about it just in terms of other kinds of dancing they're using an instrument to create these amazing dance forms.

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?

It doesn't matter what color sex religion age sexual orientation etc. everyone should have the same freedoms and liberties.

A woman my age is not supposed to be attractive or sexually appealing. I just get kinda tired of that.

I was very sexual from a very young age.

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.

I am rediscovering the whole sexual dimension of life at the age of 86 really. And that also means discovering the feminine. So the whole of this dimension which I had been seeking for a very long time is now sort of opening itself up to me.

Just as we reject racism sexism ageism and heterosexism we reject speciesism. The species of a sentient being is no more reason to deny the protection of this basic right than race sex age or sexual orientation is a reason to deny membership in the human moral community to other humans.

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.
