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.

More quotes by 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
Life is too short to be living somebody else's dream.
Hugh Hefner
I think the Playboy philosophy is very, very connected to the American dream.
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 major civilizing force in the world is not religion, it is sex.
Hugh Hefner
The religious heritage sort of suggests implicitly and explicitly that you pay your dues and you get your reward later on, that's a little inconsistent with the notion of personal, happiness. I am a strong believer in a set of values that are rooted in the notion of happiness and personal fulfillment.
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 don't have dinner parties - I eat my dinner in bed.
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 am in very good health. I've never felt better.
Hugh Hefner
If you let society and your peers define who you are, you're the less for it.
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
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
Life and values do run in cycles.
Hugh Hefner
Playboy was founded on the notion that nice girls like sex too.
Hugh Hefner
Television, cable, the Internet, that's knocked the boundaries down.
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
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
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 am not primarily an entrepreneurial businessman. I'm primarily a playboy philosopher.
