It's very difficult to censor anything anymore.

The whole 1950s notion was find the right girl, get married, move to the suburbs and then hang out with the guys while she stayed home with the babies. I felt that was sort of sad.

In my own words, I played some significant part in changing the social-sexual values of our time. I had a lot of fun in the process.

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

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.

I'm very comfortable with the nature of life and death, and that we come to an end. What's most difficult to imagine is that those dreams and early yearnings and desires of childhood and adolescence will also disappear. But who knows? Maybe you become part of the eternal whatever.

It's hard to really compare new love and old love.
