Well, I grew up around the magazine and was part of a generation that was embracing our sexuality.

I don't know what a world would be like if you do away with sexy images.

Half of my employees are women.

I'm surrounded by very powerful women and very progressive men.

I'd guess that 80 percent of the people who work for Playboy are feminists.

I know what the attitudes of the readers are: These are guys who love women and respect women.

I defend the right of almost everything to be published... because I think that you're better off in trusting the marketplace than allowing other people to make that decision.

It's important not to limit the amount of their own money that candidates can spend, but to give other people access to enough money to run competitive races.

Billy not only had a distinguished career in the Legislature, but he also has great business instincts and has done exceedingly well making investment decisions in both stocks and private ventures such as real estate.

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

Being a CEO still means sitting across the table from big institutional investors and showing your leadership and having them believe in you.

But maybe because the dot-com world gives people positions at a younger age, and many women are prominent in this business, it will help change the view about who can run big companies.

I think in terms of what I am able to accomplish and build.

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

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

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'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.

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

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

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

Relationships between men and women have become much more complicated.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

I think this country is growing up a little bit.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

The world changed on us. In a world where there were singles bars in every city, women weren't going to go out and hang out in a Playboy Club.

What you don't do is as important as what you do.

I don't think 'Playboy' would have been successfully started on either coast.

I think of Chicago as a great entrepreneur city, a city that supports its own, that isn't as jaded as New York and L.A.

My father has always enjoyed games... always with a combination of the fun and social side of it, but also always highly competitive.

I freelanced for the 'Boston Phoenix.'

I'm certainly proud of the transformation of Playboy from a magazine to a multimedia corporation.

When I first came to Playboy, I thought I would go on and do something else in a few years. But when the company got into trouble with political and regulatory challenges, I felt that I could really lead the turn around.

I'm motivated and driven, and I have been from a young age.

It's embarrassing to be in the only westernized economy that doesn't have paid family leave and flex scheduling, and that disproportionately helps women.

My mantra is, I want to work with people that I like to hang out with, who are smart, where I can add value, that I think is an interesting space.

You can learn more about leadership by reading about Lincoln than you can from most business books.

I didn't have the luxury of devoting myself entirely to not-for-profit activities.
