The major civilizing force in the world is not religion, it is sex.

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

I remain very much connected to my childhood... I have never been too jaded or too sophisticated.

I was very influenced by the musicals and romantic comedies of the 1930s. I admired Gene Harlow and such, which probably explains why, since the end of my marriage, I've dated nothing but a succession of blondes.

I'm very comfortable with the nature of life and death, and that we come to an end. What's most difficult to imagine is that those dreams and early yearnings and desires of childhood and adolescence will also disappear. But who knows? Maybe you become part of the eternal whatever.

If you let society and your peers define who you are, you're the less for it.

In my wildest dreams, I could not have imagined a sweeter life.

It's good to be selfish. But not so self-centered that you never listen to other people.

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

Living in the moment, thinking about the future, and staying connected to the past: That's what makes me feel whole.

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

Someone once asked, 'What's your best pickup line?' I said, 'My best pickup line is, 'Hi, my name is Hugh Hefner.'

Surrounding myself with beautiful women keeps me young.

The Westwood Cemetery is just a few blocks from my home, and a number of my very dear friends are buried there.

The difference between Marilyn Monroe and the early Pamela Anderson is not that great. What's amazing is that the taste of American men and international tastes in terms of beauty have essentially stayed the same. Styles change, but our view of beauty stays the same.

I am now convinced that theoretical physics is actually philosophy.

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?
