Image
I remain very much connected to my childhood... I have never been too jaded or too sophisticated.
Hugh Hefner

It's women who have embraced their own sexuality, it's why women wear makeup, it's why they wear high heels. It's what civilization is all about.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I've always had a tremendously optimistic attitude about life, and the setbacks are never really setbacks for me, because I see it as a part of the adventure. And if you don't hold onto your dreams, you're a very foolish fellow, because dreams are what life is about.

My parents are wonderful people and they instilled in me an idealism for which I'm grateful.

As Ray Bradbury - a longtime contributor to Playboy - said a long time ago, a lot of people, when they're talking about the contents of the magazine, they don't see the forest. People don't see the other part of my life because they're too fascinated with the girls.

In many ways, Im younger than I was 20 years ago.
Hugh Hefner
Image
The religious heritage sort of suggests implicitly and explicitly that you pay your dues and you get your reward later on, that's a little inconsistent with the notion of personal, happiness. I am a strong believer in a set of values that are rooted in the notion of happiness and personal fulfillment.

You stay in touch with the boy who dreamed impossible dreams.

Living in the moment, thinking about the future, and staying connected to the past: That's what makes me feel whole.
Hugh Hefner
Image
Being attacked by right-wing Christians did not bother me. Being attacked by liberal feminists did.
Hugh Hefner

The difference between Marilyn Monroe and the early Pamela Anderson is not that great. What's amazing is that the taste of American men and international tastes in terms of beauty have essentially stayed the same. Styles change, but our view of beauty stays the same.
