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

Image
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.
Hugh Hefner
Image
Living in the moment, thinking about the future, and staying connected to the past: That's what makes me feel whole.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I am in very good health. I've never felt better.

Since time immemorial, youth has set the universal standard of physical beauty, and the reason is simply that a shapely firm young face and body are more attractive sexually and aesthetically than bulges, sags and wrinkles.

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.

Image
I guess you could say, I'm just a typical Methodist kid at heart.
Hugh Hefner
Image
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
Image
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.
Hugh Hefner
Image
America is just as much to blame as a lot of our enemies.
Hugh Hefner
Image
The difference between Marilyn Monroe and the early Pamela Anderson is not that great. What's amazing is that the taste of American men and international tastes in terms of beauty have essentially stayed the same. Styles change, but our view of beauty stays the same.
Hugh Hefner
Image
My parents are wonderful people and they instilled in me an idealism for which I'm grateful.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I remain very much connected to my childhood... I have never been too jaded or too sophisticated.
Hugh Hefner
Image
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.

My best pick-up line is My name is Hugh Hefner.

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.
Hugh Hefner
Image
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.

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

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.
