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.

I tried to make some difference, and I think I managed to do that.

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.

I was a very idealistic, very romantic kid in a very typically Midwestern Methodist repressed home. There was no show of affection of any kind, and I escaped to dreams and fantasies produced, by and large, by the music and the movies of the '30s.

Playboy was founded on the notion that nice girls like sex too.

You really don't create an authoritarian society unless you control the personal choices including the sexual choices of the people.

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

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