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'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.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I've nailed more women than I could count... at least I think they were women
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.
Hugh Hefner

The major civilizing force in the world is not religion, it is sex.
Hugh Hefner

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.

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.

Playboy isn't like the downscale, male bonding, beer-swilling phenomena that is being promoted now by (some men's magazines). My whole notion was the romantic connection between male and female.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I would like to think that I will be remembered as someone who had some positive impact on the sociosexual values of his time. And I think I'm secure and happy in that.

Creating my own world in a comic or selling my first penny newspaper aged nine was a way of gaining recognition and acceptance by my peers.
Hugh Hefner
Image
You stay in touch with the boy who dreamed impossible dreams.
Hugh Hefner
Image
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
I truly believe that age - if you're healthy - age is just a number.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I think being connected to younger people helps to keep you young and gives you a young attitude.
Hugh Hefner
Image
The interesting thing is how one guy, through living out his own fantasies, is living out the fantasies of so many other people.
Hugh Hefner
Image
You really don't create an authoritarian society unless you control the personal choices including the sexual choices of the people.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I guess you could say, I'm just a typical Methodist kid at heart.
Hugh Hefner
Image
Playboy was founded on the notion that nice girls like sex too.
Hugh Hefner
Image
Life is too short to be living somebody else's dream.

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.
