~By Margaret Spellings ~
All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what's sexy or cool or tough.
~By Angelina Jolie ~

~By Neil Tennant ~
Because pornography is a tool of Satan that exploits and distorts our God-given sexuality, women - especially Christian women - need to understand the increasing threat of online pornography.

~By Woody Allen ~

~By Louise Brown ~
I know of my sex appeal. I know about sexuality, and I know how to use it - tastefully, of course.
~By Rachel Bilson ~

~By Michael Stipe ~
Jesus never said anything about homosexuality.
~By Patricia Ireland ~

~By Kyan Douglas ~
Pursuit and seduction are the essence of sexuality. It's part of the sizzle.
~By Camille Paglia ~
You walk off the plane in Rio, and your blood temperature goes up. The feel of the wind on your face, the water on your skin, the taste of the food, the music, the sexuality; Brazilians are very comfortable in their sexuality.
~By Amy Irving ~
One is that if women's sexuality in Africa wasn't under assault, if women were able to say no, if women weren't subject to predatory attacks by men, or predatory behaviour generally, then you would have a disease in Africa called AIDS. But you wouldn't have a pandemic.
~By Stephen Lewis ~
Class, race, sexuality, gender and all other categories by which we categorize and dismiss each other need to be excavated from the inside.
~By Dorothy Allison ~
But the Bible speaks against it, and because the Bible speaks against it, we allow rampant sin including homosexuality and lying, and to me lying is just as b ad as homosexuality, and we've allowed this sin to run rampant in our nation.
~By Reggie White ~
It's not fair the emphasis put on beauty, or on sexuality.
~By Rosanna Arquette ~
From a religious point of view, if God had thought homosexuality is a sin, he would not have created gay people.

~By Bill Condon ~
And for anyone who ever thought that Ellen and I broke it off because of sexuality, you couldn't be more mistaken. And for anyone who thought my mother's prayers had anything to do with me marrying a man, forget it.
~By Anne Heche ~
I justified it in so many ways. I had a very, very long and difficult struggle with my sexuality.
~By Portia de Rossi ~

~By Anne Heche ~

I am sensual and very physical. I'm very erotic. But my sexuality exists on a sort of a fantasy level.
~By Donna Summer ~
To a certain extent, this tour is a celebration of individuality and that you can invent and reinvent yourself. You should have the power to be able to do that. Sexuality is a part of that. It should release you. It doesn't have to be an issue. It shouldn't box you in.
~By Neil Tennant ~
Sexuality is a private matter; some believe that broadcasting it destroys the very things that make it sacred.
~By Lance Loud ~
I would say I'm pretty well at ease with my sexuality, but I'm an individual before I am a female.
~By Shirley Manson ~
Brooke and I share some similarities. We're both passionate, fiercely loyal people. But she is far more outlandish than I'd ever be, particularly with her body and her sexuality. Brooke has made herself weak for men - she only gained self-confidence from their attention.
~By Sophia Bush ~
Let me explain something when I'm talking about sin, and I'm talking about all sin. One of the biggest ones that has been talked about that has really become a debate in America is homosexuality.
~By Reggie White ~

~By Barbara Kruger ~

~By Amanda Seyfried ~

~By James A. Baldwin ~
I have a friend who, if she has a bad hair day, it affects her whole mood because it is part of her sexuality, her confidence. I don't have that problem any more.
~By Cathy Freeman ~
I support non-discrimination for homosexuals, but I think, or at least I have the right to think - without saying whether I think it or not - I have the right to think, along with the catechism of the Catholic Church, that homosexuality is morally wrong.
~By Rocco Buttiglione ~
People have known of Shakespeare's homosexuality down through the ages.
~By George Weinberg ~

~By Ana Castillo ~
Sexuality is the lyricism of the masses.
~By Charles Baudelaire ~
Homosexuality is like the weather. It just is.
~By Andrew Sullivan ~
The sexual deviance - I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss that; but we do have hints of it but in a more psychological way and therefore more human way, arguably. Or certainly to the extent that the animated series takes that sexuality.
~By Marton Csokas ~
At the heart of pornography is sexuality haunted by its own disappearance.

~By Eva Longoria ~

~By Richard Serra ~
Sex, sexual dynamics and how we define our sexuality, is one of the major deals in everyone's life.
~By Molly Parker ~

~By Marilyn vos Savant ~

~By Mortimer Adler ~
There is no sexuality that is greater or lesser than another.
~By Jasmine Guy ~
A part of sexuality may go to research, and a much larger part must lead to aesthetic creation. The art of the future will, because of the very opportunities and materials it will have at its command, need an infinitely stronger formative impulse than it does now.
~By John Desmond Bernal ~
I have no problem with homosexuality. I have a problem with homosexual acts.
~By Rick Santorum ~

~By Christie Hefner ~
It would have been convenient to be gay. Just because of the grooming, the narcissism, stuff like that. But I have this kind of roaring heterosexuality. Traditional, uncomplicated heterosexuality, an almost cliched Robin Askwith thing.
~By Russell Brand ~
We will see a breakdown of the family and family values if we decide to approve same-sex marriage, and if we decide to establish homosexuality as an acceptable alternative lifestyle with all the benefits that go with equating it with the heterosexual lifestyle.
~By Jerry Falwell ~

~By Tahar Ben Jelloun ~
I'm not afraid of my femininity and I'm not afraid of my sexuality.
~By Goldie Hawn ~

~By Martina Navratilova ~
I think anything that has to do with sexuality makes people very interested.
~By Catherine Deneuve ~
I don't think homosexuality is a choice. Society forces you to think it's a choice, but in fact, it's in one's nature. The choice is whether one expresses one's nature truthfully or spends the rest of one's life lying about it.
~By Marlo Thomas ~
Other people's perspective, just seeing the sexy image, might be that I take my sexuality very seriously. But I really don't. I like being sexy. It's fun, and I have had a nice little career off it.

~By River Phoenix ~
What do you mean you don't believe in homosexuality? It's not like the Easter Bunny, your belief isn't necessary.
~By Lea DeLaria ~
I was certainly open for something being on the edge of a nervous breakdown, perplexed by my own sexuality. I was gay.
~By Lionel Blue ~
Race and class are rendered distinct analytically only to produce the realization that the analysis of the one cannot proceed without the other. A different dynamic it seems to me is at work in the critique of new sexuality studies.
~By Judith Butler ~
Impotence, fetishism, bisexuality, and bondage are all facts of life, and our fiction should reflect that.

French women have been made beautiful by the French people - they're very aware of their bodies, the way they move and speak, they're very confident of their sexuality. French society's made them like that.
~By Charlotte Rampling ~
It was extremely important to show that Wilde's sexuality was not just some intellectual idea. It was real, and it was about the human body. To just have mentioned it and not shown it would have been, I think, peculiar and wrong.
~By Stephen Fry ~
In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation.
~By Simone de Beauvoir ~
Stories about the ongoing dramas in our lives as we age are not being told because women find it difficult to be honest about what's going on - about, for example, our heightened sexuality as we age or about living in a society that only values youth.
~By Olympia Dukakis ~
There's an assault on human sexuality, as Judge Scalia said, they've taken sides in the culture war and on top of that if we have a democracy, the democratic processes should be that we can elect representatives who will share our point of view and vote those things into law.
~By Pat Robertson ~
