I think age, if you are healthy, I think age is largely a number. My mother lived to be 101. So I'm planning on another quarter century.

Life is too short to be living somebody else's dream.

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

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.

My best pick-up line is "My name is Hugh Hefner."

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

Several girlfriends are easier to handle than one wife.

I don't have dinner parties - I eat my dinner in bed.

I would like to think that I will be remembered as someone who had some positive impact on the sociosexual values of his time. And I think I'm secure and happy in that.

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

The master tools of success are invitation, patience, time, gentleness, cooperation and surrender.

I will not be concerned at other men's not knowing me;I will be concerned at my own want of ability.

There emanates from superlatives a destructive force.

I don't agree with all-male leaderships. Men cannot be left to run things on their own. I think it's a thoroughly bad thing to have men-only leadership.

Revenge... is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion.

Poverty, I realized, wasn't only a lack of financial resources; it was isolation from the kind of people that could help you make more of yourself.

The living always get over the dead. That’s what the dead never realize. If ever the dead did come back, they’d only have been sore that somehow you managed to get over their dying at all.

If you over-plan, you close the door on possibilities.

I can say I love working with women. Film is a man's world, and I really appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with women, especially young women.

To be free, the workers must have choice. To have choice they must retain in their own hands the right to determine under what conditions they will work.
