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.

My folks were raised pure prohibitionist. They were very good people, with high moral standards - but very repressed. There was no hugging and kissing in my home.

With the end of communism and the opening of Third World markets, the potential for Playboy is huge. It has been said that the two most famous trademarks in the world are Coca-Cola and the Playboy bunny rabbit. There is certainly no one else in our area that represents the American dream in this particular kind of way. That rabbit means economic freedom, personal freedom and political freedom. That potential is unlimited.

I always think, quite frankly that pop culture is a lot more important than a lot of people realize.

Playboy was founded on the notion that nice girls like sex too.

Retirement is unthinkable to me. The future is bright and very exciting and I'm looking forward to playing a part in it.

You stay in touch with the boy who dreamed impossible dreams.
