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.

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

I do think the reality is, there is a general recognition of what I've accomplished.

They must be doing something right up there in Canada.

I remain very much connected to my childhood... I have never been too jaded or too sophisticated.

It's women who have embraced their own sexuality, it's why women wear makeup, it's why they wear high heels. It's what civilization is all about.

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