I think the Playboy philosophy is very, very connected to the American dream.
Hugh Hefner
Image
Playboy, very clearly, from the outset, has fought against the historical repression of women. The notion that we were anywhere else simply defies the reality.
Hugh Hefner
Image
It is the beauty of women, and the fact that they are the focus, that they are sex objects in a positive sense, is the reason we have civilization.
Hugh Hefner
Image
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.

We're separated by our myths.
Hugh Hefner

Living in the moment, thinking about the future, and staying connected to the past: That's what makes me feel whole.

Television, cable, the Internet, that's knocked the boundaries down.
