More quotes by Hugh Hefner
My parents are wonderful people and they instilled in me an idealism for which I'm grateful.
Hugh Hefner
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
Being attacked by right-wing Christians did not bother me. Being attacked by liberal feminists did.
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
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
Life and values do run in cycles.
Hugh Hefner
I don't have dinner parties - I eat my dinner in bed.
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
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
The business end of business has never interested me.
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 was a very idealistic, very romantic kid in a very typically Midwestern Methodist repressed home. There was no show of affection of any kind, and I escaped to dreams and fantasies produced, by and large, by the music and the movies of the '30s.
Hugh Hefner
Picasso had his pink period and his blue period. I am in my blonde period right now.
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
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
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.
Hugh Hefner
I tried to make some difference, and I think I managed to do that.
Hugh Hefner
I have been married twice, and those were not the happiest times of my life. Part of the problem, quite frankly, is that when you get married, the romance disappears and the children arrive and the love is transferred. It shouldn't be that way, but too often it is transferred to the children.
Hugh Hefner
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.
