I had no idea that mothering my own child would be so healing to my own sadness from my childhood.

I'm a Mommy's Girl - the strongest influence in my young life was my mom.

I think that you have to do everything you can do to empower girls when they are young, from their education, to their successful independence, to their sexual self-knowledge.

I'm like the kid in kindergarten; I really do send valentines to everyone.

I love turning my daughter on to old movies.

I got more and more politically active and just followed the course of feminism and sexual liberation.

Doing the right thing for someone else was like a tonic for me; it was like some magic ointment that made a wound disappear.

Familiarity with your lover is what initially makes sex really good.

Finding people who get enormous pleasure from reading books is a more and more unusual experience, and so writers just so much want to be heard.

Human beings like variety, and they also like partnership... these are scientific values we can point to.

I got introduced to audiobooks because of having a baby.

I see the effects of sexual and gender liberation all around me, just like you do, but I don't have a sense of being in the majority.

I think moms need to share information on a regular, intimate basis.

I'm writing a new book right now that is like an erotica manifesto.

In fact, I think for a lot of writers, it's so hard to be read.

It's not that sexual liberation or feminist messages are dead.

My idea of the ideal sex education site doesn't exist.

Now I have to have the biggest P.O. box in the entire post office to get all the manuscripts coming in.

People who love science fiction really do love sex.

There are also just as many, if not more, women who are anxious to hold down the status quo.
