More quotes by Hugh Hefner
In my own words, I played some significant part in changing the social-sexual values of our time. I had a lot of fun in the process.
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.
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
My folks were farm people from Nebraska, so I like home cooking.
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.
Hugh Hefner
I feel saddened when people who have major friendships or marriages wind up on the outs. Because I think you lose a little piece of yourself.
Hugh Hefner
Could I be in a better place and happier than I am today? I don't think so.
Hugh Hefner
Living in the moment, thinking about the future, and staying connected to the past: That's what makes me feel whole.
Hugh Hefner

Hugh Hefner
There are many roads to Mecca.
Hugh Hefner

Hugh Hefner
Life and values do run in cycles.
Hugh Hefner
Television, cable, the Internet, that's knocked the boundaries down.
Hugh Hefner
For me, the magazine was always the heart of what my life was all about, and the other half was living the life.
Hugh Hefner
You know, from my point of view, I'm the luckiest cat on the planet.
Hugh Hefner
Power has not corrupted me. I have not become jaded. I wake up every day well aware of my good fortune, loving the work I do, loving my life, realizing that life is a crapshoot and I'm on a roll second to none.
Hugh Hefner
Playboy, very clearly, from the outset, has fought against the historical repression of women. The notion that we were anywhere else simply defies the reality.
Hugh Hefner
In many ways, Im younger than I was 20 years ago.
Hugh Hefner
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.
Hugh Hefner
I have no plans to retire. It's the perfect combination of work and play that keeps you young. If I quit work it would be the beginning of the end for me.
Hugh Hefner
