I have about 100 pairs of pajamas. I like to see people dressed comfortably.

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.

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.

I have very strong theories about magazine publishing. And I think that it is the most personal form of journalism. And I think that a magazine is an old friend.

Hugh Hefner

I remain good friends with most of the major relationships in my life.

Hugh Hefner

I separated ways from the American feminist movement when they became anti-sexual. I believe embracing sexuality is a part of what it means to be free.

Hugh Hefner

I suggested that sex was not the enemy, that violence was the enemy, that nice girls like sex.

Hugh Hefner

I think getting married was a mistake along the way, but at the same time I wouldn’t have the wonderful children I have if I didn’t get married.

Hugh Hefner

I think that sexual oppression and dictatorship go hand in hand.

Hugh Hefner

I think that the major message of my life and what I hope to be remembered for is someone who managed to change the social sexual values of his time absolutely.
