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

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

I'm never going to grow up. Staying young is what it is all about for me.

I've never gotten enough credit!

I was a very idealistic, very romantic kid in a very typically Midwestern Methodist repressed home. There was no show of affection of any kind, and I escaped to dreams and fantasies produced, by and large, by the music and the movies of the '30s.

I think that the major message of my life and what I hope to be remembered for is someone who managed to change the social sexual values of his time absolutely.

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.
