More quotes by Hugh Hefner
Beauty is everywhere - on the campus, in the office, living next door... Nice girls like sex too - it's a natural part of life. Don't be ashamed of it.
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.

Being attacked by right-wing Christians did not bother me. Being attacked by liberal feminists did.
Hugh Hefner
Power has not corrupted me. I have not become jaded. I wake up every day well aware of my good fortune, loving the work I do, loving my life, realizing that life is a crapshoot and I'm on a roll second to none.
Hugh Hefner
What surprises me about getting older is that I remain so young.
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
I remain very much connected to my childhood... I have never been too jaded or too sophisticated.
Hugh Hefner
I am not primarily an entrepreneurial businessman. I'm primarily a playboy philosopher.
Hugh Hefner
Life and values do run in cycles.
Hugh Hefner
I feel saddened when people who have major friendships or marriages wind up on the outs. Because I think you lose a little piece of yourself.
Hugh Hefner
I was fortunate enough to be raised in a, in a very romantic time in terms of music, and the music itself simple reflected the much more romantic time.
Hugh Hefner
It's hard to really compare new love and old love.
Hugh Hefner
America is just as much to blame as a lot of our enemies.
