America is just as much to blame as a lot of our enemies.

I think that retirement is the first step towards the grave.

Television, cable, the Internet, that's knocked the boundaries down.

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.

Image
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.

For me, the magazine was always the heart of what my life was all about, and the other half was living the life.

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 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.

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.

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
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.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I have very strong theories about magazine publishing. And I think that it is the most personal form of journalism. And I think that a magazine is an old friend.

My life is an open book. With illustrations.

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

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.

Life is bittersweet. Inside our heads, if we're lucky, we're the same kids as we were when we were young.

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.

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