Camille Paglia

There is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack the Ripper.

Television is actually closer to reality than anything in books. The madness of TV is the madness of human life.

I remember turning 'The Sopranos' on once and within two minutes nearly throwing a brick through the screen.

Affirmative action has been generally cast in terms of race. I think women themselves are not as cognizant of the role affirmative action has played in opening the doors for women.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I've always had a natural fear of the police, or abuse of their power.
