“I feel like I'm a compassionate guy, but I also feel if somebody's grip on life or sanity is so tenuous that a joke in an advice column that usually is nothing but jokes pushes them over the edge, then if not me, it would have been a leaf blowing past them that did it, or something else.

“I think it's better to have limits. My limits are different from other people's limits. I'm all for freedom, I'm all for people doing what they want.

“My dad and mom were more like World War II-era parents, even though it was the 1960s, because they were both born in the '40s. They were young adults before the '60s even happened, and married, and already having kids. But by the time we were adolescents in the '70s, the whole culture was screaming at parents, "You're a good parent if you're open with your kids about sex." They attempted to be open with us about sex, and it made them want to die, and consequently, it made us want to die.” IfsWorldWantMadeWarWholeKidsYoungDiesCultureSexParentBornHappenedMomDadMarriedAdultsMy DadYoung AdultErasWar Of The WorldsWorld War IiWorld War I1960sWanting To DieHaving KidsGood Parent Author:Dan Savage

“There's always something new with sex. We lived in a world without Viagra, now we live in a world with Viagra. We lived in a world without blowjobs and anilingus in the Oval Office, and then it happens and you get to write about it. We live in a world where now the government is screwing with contraception and holding back vaccines that could save 4,000 women's lives a year, and you get to write about that. It's not as much fun as anilingus in the Oval Office, but what are you going to do? If you pay attention, there's always something new, and it's always really invigorating.” IfsWorldWritingYearsGovernmentHappensFunSexPayAttentionOfficePay AttentionSomething NewVaccinesContraceptionOvalHolding BackInvigoratingViagra Author:Dan Savage

“When I first decided I wanted to be a writer, when I was 10, 11 years old, the books that I loved obviously and openly fit that description: They came with maps and glossaries and timelines - books like Lord Of The Rings, Dune, The Chronicles Of Narnia.
