The phenomena there is something in us that on the one hand bonds us with like people but somehow makes us suspicious of other people.

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

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.

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.

My parents are wonderful people and they instilled in me an idealism for which I'm grateful.

I think that from the very beginning it wasn't simply, what made Playboy so popular was not simply the naked ladies, what made the magazine so popular was, there was a point of view in the magazine, that you couldn't run nude pictures without some kind of rational that they were art.

In my own words, I played some significant part in changing the social-sexual values of our time. I had a lot of fun in the process.
