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.

The notion of the single man began in the 1950's. The idea of the bachelor as a separate life was new and obscure.

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.

After all the Puritans came to America to escape from persecution and then turned around and started persecuting other people. So I understand that conflict that we have related to play and pleasure and sexuality. And I think what has made my life worthwhile is trying to deal with some of those questions.

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

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.

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

If Playboy ever loses its editorial balls, then it will deserve to be knocked over by a younger, more vigorous magazine in the coming generation. But that won't happen so long as I'm alive, I can promise you that.

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

If you don't encourage healthy sexual expression in public, you get unhealthy sexual expression in private. If you attempt to suppress sex in books, magazines, movies and even everyday conversation, you aren't helping to make sex more private, just more hidden. You're keeping sex in the dark. What we've tried to do is turn on the lights.

My folks were farm people from Nebraska, so I like home cooking.

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.

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.

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

Life is too short to be living somebody else's dream.

You know, from my point of view, I'm the luckiest cat on the planet.
