I think the Playboy philosophy is very, very connected to the American dream.

If it was wrong to persecute heterosexuals in a homosexual society, then the reverse was wrong, too.

America is just as much to blame as a lot of our enemies.

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 dreamed impossible dreams. And the dreams turned out beyond anything I could possibly imagine. You know, from my point of view, I'm the luckiest cat on the planet.

I am in very good health. I've never felt better.

I was raised in a typical Puritan Midwestern Methodist home and there was a lot of hurt and hypocrisy in those times. And I think that whatever part Playboy played and that I managed to play in terms of the sexual revolution came out of what I saw in the negative part of that life and tried to change things in some positive way so that people could choose alternate personal ways of living their lives.
