More quotes by Hugh Hefner
One of the things I've tried to do with my life is redefine the boundaries that I think are very limiting. I'm not suggesting that everybody should have three girlfriends, or necessarily have girlfriends living with them. I think there are many, many options to living your life.
Hugh Hefner
Television, cable, the Internet, that's knocked the boundaries down.
Hugh Hefner
I didn't want to repeat my parents life. I saw in their lives a routine and a lack of dreaming, a lack of the possibilities, a lack of passion. And I didn't want to live without passion.
Hugh Hefner
The major civilizing force in the world is not religion, it is sex.
Hugh Hefner
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.
Hugh Hefner
You stay in touch with the boy who dreamed impossible dreams.
Hugh Hefner
I've nailed more women than I could count... at least I think they were women
Hugh Hefner
People get their information in different ways now. And we are a little poorer for it, because the way you get information affects what you learn.
Hugh Hefner
I think the Playboy philosophy is very, very connected to the American dream.
Hugh Hefner
I am not primarily an entrepreneurial businessman. I'm primarily a playboy philosopher.
Hugh Hefner
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.
Hugh Hefner
If you don't encourage healthy sexual expression in public, you get unhealthy sexual expression in private. If you attempt to suppress sex in books, magazines, movies and even everyday conversation, you aren't helping to make sex more private, just more hidden. You're keeping sex in the dark. What we've tried to do is turn on the lights.
Hugh Hefner
We're separated by our myths.
Hugh Hefner
I dreamed impossible dreams. And the dreams turned out beyond anything I could possibly imagine. You know, from my point of view, I'm the luckiest cat on the planet.
Hugh Hefner
Historically the Puritans left England to escape religious persecution, and they promptly turned around and started persecuting the people they didn't agree with - the scarlet letter A, and the stocks and the dunking board came from that. That puritanism is still there.
Hugh Hefner
Someone once asked, 'What's your best pickup line?' I said, 'My best pickup line is, 'Hi, my name is Hugh Hefner.''
Hugh Hefner
Playboy was founded on the notion that nice girls like sex too.
Hugh Hefner
It is the beauty of women, and the fact that they are the focus, that they are sex objects in a positive sense, is the reason we have civilization.
Hugh Hefner
If you let society and your peers define who you are, you're the less for it.
Hugh Hefner
I always say now that I'm in my blonde years. Because since the end of my marriage, all of my girlfriends have been blonde.
