Playboy exploits sex the way Sports Illustrated exploits sports.

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.

I feel saddened when people who have major friendships or marriages wind up on the outs. Because I think you lose a little piece of yourself.

We indeed did and do own our own minds and bodies, and anything from church or state that limits that is inappropriate and inconsistent with the ... society that America is supposed to be.

I am in very good health. I've never felt better.

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

My life is an open book. With illustrations.
