I love to swim in the nude and roam around the house in the nude. You're just as free as a bird!

It makes me feel wonderful that people still care for me... that I have so many fans among young people, who write to me and tell me I have been an inspiration.

I never kept up with the fashions. I believed in wearing what I thought looked good on me.

If every time you engage in a sex act, you go into a confession box, you will never accept your own sexuality.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
