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.

One of the things I've tried to do with my life is redefine the boundaries that I think are very limiting. I'm not suggesting that everybody should have three girlfriends, or necessarily have girlfriends living with them. I think there are many, many options to living your life.

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 guess you could say, I'm just a typical Methodist kid at heart.

As Ray Bradbury - a longtime contributor to Playboy - said a long time ago, a lot of people, when they're talking about the contents of the magazine, they don't see the forest. People don't see the other part of my life because they're too fascinated with the girls.

The business end of business has never interested me.

I think that retirement is the first step towards the grave.
