I came to Playboy not expecting to stay. But after five years, I found myself really enjoying the business world, and I realized I had some skill.

I don't think about financial success as the measurement of my success.

I had higher math SATs than in English - yet I became an English major in college.

I had an allowance, but I had to do things around the house to earn it. I think I always wanted my own money.

Even though money seems such an objective topic, it can also be the most intimate, and possibly harmful, part of a relationship.

At the very beginning, I said my life and Playboy are a Rorschach test. It's a culmination of the dreams and fantasies and prejudices you bring to the table

I never saw anyone like Ty Cobb. No one even close to him as the greatest all-time ballplayer. That guy was superhuman, amazing.

When two people love each other, they don't look at each other, they look in the same direction.

If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all.

Men are jerks. Women are psychotic.

Even a total and universal disarmament does not guarantee the maintenance of peace.

Behind every success, there lies a magical word: Dare!

I knew from a young age that I could sing and it was impressed upon me that if I got a classically trained education in voice, it would serve as a foundation for whatever I chose to do.
