It's mutual respect and love that are important, not a wedding.

I consider myself very fortunate to grow up in a time when my family, my friends don't look at me funny because I'm a 29-year-old single woman.

My father is not that comfortable with children, but he's a terrific father for an adult.

Women would all be better off if we realized we didn't have to choose between being an intelligent being and a sexual being.

If you ever get to a point where you stop learning, you will find your professional options and your personal satisfaction severely curtailed.

I don't think you can know too many smart people. I don't think you should ever stop meeting people.

I never thought I was going to go to work for my father's company.

I think in the '80s, we certainly wrestled with what was the role of 'Playboy Magazine' in a post-sexual revolution, post-feminist world.

I think this country is growing up a little bit.

What's funny in Italy may not be funny in Spain.

We should all miss bookstores. They let you discover things.

In any endeavor, you have to understand your tolerance for risk. What's a failure you can afford?

It's so deeply disturbing to me that half of the eligible voters don't vote in this country. We talk about how divided the country is. The truth is, we don't even know. We just know what the half that voted thought.

Before I went to work for 'Playboy,' I planned to apply to Yale to get a public policy master's. I felt drawn to go into politics. Even before that, my dream was to wind up either in the Senate or on the Supreme Court. I had big dreams as a little girl.

I think I've established my own identity here at Brandeis.

Relationships between men and women have become much more complicated.

Honestly, in retrospect, it probably was a little easier being an adolescent and not having people immediately know that Hef was my dad.

I like dressing sexy, and I like having a good time.

I'm not much of a 'road not taken' person.

With someone who is genuinely abusive or a bad person, you should just get out of town. But if they're being the best person they know how to be, then you have to decide if there isn't much there you can love and not become consumed with what they're not able to give you.

I've had this conversation with friends who have had challenging relationships with one or another parent. The only thing I can say is what I feel: The other person isn't going to change. That is who they are.

We're fortunate in my family because we really have three families: my brother, David, and me; the two boys, Cooper and Marston, from my dad's second marriage; and my dad's wife, Crystal.

I developed a great sense of self-confidence when I was very young.

My mother thinks I could have even run a larger company.
