Picasso had his pink period and his blue period. I am in my blonde period right now.

It's women who have embraced their own sexuality, it's why women wear makeup, it's why they wear high heels. It's what civilization is all about.

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.

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.

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

My parents are wonderful people and they instilled in me an idealism for which I'm grateful.

Life and values do run in cycles.

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