As Ray Bradbury - a longtime contributor to Playboy - said a long time ago, a lot of people, when they're talking about the contents of the magazine, they don't see the forest. People don't see the other part of my life because they're too fascinated with the girls.

I've had death threats, but I've never been fearful for my life. Although I have traveled with security since the '60s.

Image
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.

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.

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

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.

I truly believe that age - if you're healthy - age is just a number.

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.
Hugh Hefner
Image
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.

Could I be in a better place and happier than I am today? I don't think so.

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

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

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.
