There are some novelists who can get away with writing about sex - Philip Roth, Ian McEwan - but they are rare.
In high school I had sex with girls quite a few times. They were straight women who I convinced to jump in the sack with me.
I don't want to be known as a sex symbol. There's a great stigma that goes with that tag. I want to be a Sam Elliott.
Nope, no sex scandals yet. But I am open to offers!
They're people who had flaws and who had affairs and had sex and had scandals, and very rarely do we look at the totality of our heroes' lives.
I'm a secretive bastard. I would never let anybody watch me painting... it would be like somebody watching you have sex - painting is that personal to me.
This is the way I look at sex scenes: I have basically been doing them for a living for years. Trying to seduce an audience is the basis of rock 'n roll, and if I may say so, I'm pretty good at it.
Seduction is always more singular and sublime than sex and it commands the higher price.
Vampires are immortal, you can do whatever you want, and get away with it. And there's the seduction part of course, sex is a big part of the vampire thing.
I was a Christian. I didn't want to have sex before marriage, I was a bit uptight and not very self-confident. I was a virgin until I was 26.
I would argue that we have a generation of young people, particularly minorities, who are no longer putting up with the kinds of things their parents put up with. They're much more self-confident. It's no longer acceptable to make fun of people because of race or sex. But it has always been present in American society.
I never thought that sex was wrong, sinful, dirty. When you take away the thought of things being dirty or forbidden, then you can really enjoy your sensuality.
Serial killing is not about sex at all, but about power and control and revenge on society.
A sex symbol becomes a thing. I just hate to be a thing.
How do I know about a man's needs for a sex symbol? I'm a girl.
Money, it turned out, was exactly like sex, you thought of nothing else if you didn't have it and thought of other things if you did.
People would be surprised to know that I watch 'Sex and the City,' 'The L Word,' and 'Girls.' I like women; why wouldn't I like all those?
I don't even know anyone who hasn't watched 'Sex and the City.' If you didn't, we can't be friends.
The '90s are really the 'Sex and the City' woman, and I think, right now, the new contemporary woman is the 'Lipstick Jungle' woman.
I was a freelancer all through my twenties. I did about one story a month and I wanted to write fiction, so the stories that I would do were precursors to 'Sex and the City.'
