More quotes by Hugh Hefner
I was raised in a truly typical Midwestern home with a lot of repression. My life, and the creation of Playboy, were a response to that repression.
Hugh Hefner
What surprises me about getting older is that I remain so young.
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
My folks were farm people from Nebraska, so I like home cooking.
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
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 guess I'm the most successful man I know. I wouldn't trade places with anybody in the world.
Hugh Hefner
I've nailed more women than I could count... at least I think they were women
Hugh Hefner
Historically the Puritans left England to escape religious persecution, and they promptly turned around and started persecuting the people they didn't agree with - the scarlet letter A, and the stocks and the dunking board came from that. That puritanism is still there.
Hugh Hefner
The major civilizing force in the world is not religion, it is sex.
Hugh Hefner
I remain very much connected to my childhood... I have never been too jaded or too sophisticated.
Hugh Hefner
I think the Playboy philosophy is very, very connected to the American dream.
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
Playboy was founded on the notion that nice girls like sex too.
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
The Puritans thought they could simply repress man's sexual nature, and they reaped a whirlwind as a result. Their code of sexual morality - which became America's - was nothing more than a set of rules laid down by people who believed that all pleasure was suspect.
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 think that retirement is the first step towards the grave.
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
