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

It's hard to really compare new love and old love.

Playboy, very clearly, from the outset, has fought against the historical repression of women. The notion that we were anywhere else simply defies the reality.

Life and values do run in cycles.

My life is an open book. With illustrations.

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.

I was raised in a truly typical Midwestern home with a lot of repression. My life, and the creation of Playboy, were a response to that repression.
