Life is too short to be living somebody else's dream.

The notion of the single man began in the 1950's. The idea of the bachelor as a separate life was new and obscure.

The notion that Playboy exploited women, because we showed them in beautiful photographs, sexually oriented, strikes me as rather bizarre.

I’ve never thought of Playboy, quite frankly, as a sex magazine. I always thought of it as a lifestyle magazine in which sex was one important ingredient.

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

I have no plans to retire. It's the perfect combination of work and play that keeps you young. If I quit work it would be the beginning of the end for me.

I guess I'm the most successful man I know. I wouldn't trade places with anybody in the world.
