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
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
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
Playboy was founded on the notion that nice girls like sex too.
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
The interesting thing is how one guy, through living out his own fantasies, is living out the fantasies of so many other people.
Hugh Hefner
The notion of the single man began in the 1950's. The idea of the bachelor as a separate life was new and obscure.
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
Life is bittersweet. Inside our heads, if we're lucky, we're the same kids as we were when we were young.
Hugh Hefner
When I was young I had a security blanket and a pet dog. The dog got sick and died and the blanket had to be burned, so I guess I was trying to recreate the image of security in the bunny. It was a Citizen Kane/Rosebud thing.
Hugh Hefner
I think the Playboy philosophy is very, very connected to the American dream.
Hugh Hefner
Without question, love in its various permutations is what we need more of in this world. The idea that the concept of marriage will be sullied by same-sex marriage is ridiculous. Heterosexuals haven't been doing that well at it on their own.
Hugh Hefner
We have a tremendous opportunity to try to start solving some of our overwhelming problems with population related environment, related to the hatred that exists between countries and religions, so we have a tremendous opportunity, but the dangers are very clearly there.
Hugh Hefner
My first wife was a brunette, and Barbi Benton, my major romantic relationship of the early 1970s, was a brunette. But since the end of my marriage, all of my girlfriends have been blonds.
Hugh Hefner
I was very influenced by the musicals and romantic comedies of the 1930s. I admired Gene Harlow and such, which probably explains why, since the end of my marriage, I've dated nothing but a succession of blondes.
Hugh Hefner
Could I be in a better place and happier than I am today? I don't think so.
Hugh Hefner
You know, from my point of view, I'm the luckiest cat on the planet.
Hugh Hefner
Playboy isn't like the downscale, male bonding, beer-swilling phenomena that is being promoted now by (some men's magazines). My whole notion was the romantic connection between male and female.
Hugh Hefner
Publishing a sophisticated men's magazine seemed to me the best possible way of fulfilling a dream I'd been nurturing ever since I was a teenager: to get laid a lot.
Hugh Hefner
The major civilizing force in the world is not religion, it is sex.
Hugh Hefner
