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

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.

The business end of business has never interested me.
Hugh Hefner
Image
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.

Could I be in a better place and happier than I am today? I don't think so.

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.

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.

If it was wrong to persecute heterosexuals in a homosexual society, then the reverse was wrong, too.
Hugh Hefner
Image
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.

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
Image
We indeed did and do own our own minds and bodies, and anything from church or state that limits that is inappropriate and inconsistent with the ... society that America is supposed to be.

I've nailed more women than I could count... at least I think they were women
Hugh Hefner

I think the Playboy philosophy is very, very connected to the American dream.
Hugh Hefner
Image
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.

In many ways, Im younger than I was 20 years ago.
