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

The people who had the most impact on me when I was young were Freud and Darwin, but growing up I also had my film idols.

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

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.

Smoking helped put me in touch with the realm of the senses.

Because of the nature of my life, it's difficult for people to recognize that a person can live a full life, and maybe an unorthodox life, and still be on the side of the angels.

The difference between Marilyn Monroe and the early Pamela Anderson is not that great.
