More quotes by Hugh Hefner
I dreamed impossible dreams. And the dreams turned out beyond anything I could possibly imagine. You know, from my point of view, I'm the luckiest cat on the planet.
Hugh Hefner
In the '80s and '90s we started to have economic problems because society became more conservative. So we didn't have the wherewithal for expanding to other areas.
Hugh Hefner
One of the things I've tried to do with my life is redefine the boundaries that I think are very limiting. I'm not suggesting that everybody should have three girlfriends, or necessarily have girlfriends living with them. I think there are many, many options to living your life.
Hugh Hefner
The phenomena there is something in us that on the one hand bonds us with like people but somehow makes us suspicious of other people.
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
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
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
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
I think the Playboy philosophy is very, very connected to the American dream.
Hugh Hefner
We're separated by our myths.
Hugh Hefner
You stay in touch with the boy who dreamed impossible dreams.
Hugh Hefner
Playboy was founded on the notion that nice girls like sex too.
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
Playboy, very clearly, from the outset, has fought against the historical repression of women. The notion that we were anywhere else simply defies the reality.
Hugh Hefner
My parents are wonderful people and they instilled in me an idealism for which I'm grateful.
Hugh Hefner
My folks were farm people from Nebraska, so I like home cooking.
Hugh Hefner
Could I be in a better place and happier than I am today? I don't think so.
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
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
If you let society and your peers define who you are, you're the less for it.
Hugh Hefner
