In many ways, Im younger than I was 20 years ago.

If Playboy ever loses its editorial balls, then it will deserve to be knocked over by a younger, more vigorous magazine in the coming generation. But that won't happen so long as I'm alive, I can promise you that.

I think that the major message of my life and what I hope to be remembered for is someone who managed to change the social sexual values of his time absolutely.
Hugh Hefner

After all the Puritans came to America to escape from persecution and then turned around and started persecuting other people. So I understand that conflict that we have related to play and pleasure and sexuality. And I think what has made my life worthwhile is trying to deal with some of those questions.

In the '80s and '90s we started to have economic problems because society became more conservative. So we didn't have the wherewithal for expanding to other areas.

The Puritans thought they could simply repress man's sexual nature, and they reaped a whirlwind as a result. Their code of sexual morality - which became America's - was nothing more than a set of rules laid down by people who believed that all pleasure was suspect.

Image
I'm actually a very moral guy.
Hugh Hefner
Image
Follow your own particular dreams. We are handed a life by peers, parents and society, you can do that or follow your own dreams. Life is short, be a dreamer but be a practical person.

Picasso had his pink period and his blue period. I am in my blonde period right now.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I've had death threats, but I've never been fearful for my life. Although I have traveled with security since the '60s.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I was raised in a truly typical Midwestern home with a lot of repression. My life, and the creation of Playboy, were a response to that repression.
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.

If it was wrong to persecute heterosexuals in a homosexual society, then the reverse was wrong, too.
Hugh Hefner
Image
The business end of business has never interested me.

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

The interesting thing is how one guy, through living out his own fantasies, is living out the fantasies of so many other people.
