It's not unusual for someone running for Senate in Illinois to come see me.

I've always believed that you need to find interactive applications on the Internet.

Nightclubs are a small-revenue business that go through pretty fast popularity cycles.

I would like to see both parties aggressively compete for the women's vote and talk about what they will do to unleash the economic power of women, to protect women's health, to provide the right policies that provide for real family stability and real family values.

I've always believed about brands and media that the mistake sometimes that's made is to think you're just going to take what you've been doing and kind of re-purpose it into the new platform. I don't think that ever works because consumers look for different experiences in different media formats.

I believed deeply that digital was an empowering opportunity for Playboy, not a threat.

It's difficult sometimes to, in effect, let go of how you're used to doing things and give the brand room to be reinvented.

I consider Playboy very wholesome, frankly.

I'm private because I want to be private.

I live the life I want to lead.

While I have always had a good relationship with my father, much of the time it has been a very limited relationship until I was older. So you can't really give him credit or blame for how I turned out.

I think when you're on a visiting relationship rather than a living relationship, it's kind of hard to have impact as a parent.

Part of brand management is what you don't do, not what you do.

Playboy's all about why it's worth working so hard.

I'd actually call myself pretty much a liberal. A progressive liberal. Because I do think that government is there to be a provider of services for people who cannot provide for themselves.

The people who relate to Playboy, both readers and people who produce it, are not the way the critics think they are.

I'm among the many Chicagoans who love to take advantage of the opportunity to dine outdoors in the summer months.

Access to legitimate information and thoughtful analysis is the lifeblood of a democracy, the basis of which people make decisions about who they vote for and what they believe in. And if you're only getting half the story, that certainly doesn't lead to an informed citizenry.

I prefer tailored clothes. I always have. But I find that whatever I wear, people see it as charged with symbolic meaning.

If I wear a suit, as I generally do in the business world, it's supposed to mean I'm retreating from competition with the bunnies. If I wear a very glamorous romantic dress, as I'm very likely to do if I'm going out in the evening, then I'm supposed to be competing with the bunnies.

The power of Playboy is its appeal around the world.

I don't think the Playboy brand has changed much at all - it's always been sophisticated and aspirational.

You can't delegate turning a company around.

Hef is a man of the big picture. He is a creative force.

I experienced no conflict between my mother and father, which was entirely due to my mother's compassion, intelligence, and maturity.

To me, saying you're not a feminist should be like saying you're a racist. It should be that politically unacceptable.

I never intended to go into the family business. I've always been drawn to wanting to do something else at some time in my life.

It's been quite a roller coaster ride, but I've grown and learned a lot about myself. The greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch people's lives... for that I give thanks.

We take food for granted, but it isn't a luxury for many people.

I'm not really religious but very spiritual. I give money to this company that manufactures hearing aids on a regular basis. More people should really hear me sing. I have a gift from God.

I'm a bit of a night owl because that's when I feel the most creative and alive.

So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?

The roughest road often leads to the top.

I find fragrance to be such a mood enhancer and definitely a seduction tool.

I'm an ocean, because I'm really deep. If you search deep enough you can find rare exotic treasures.

You used to have to sing and convey emotion, and now, well, technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today, but that's why that old music feels so good to me.

I'm not a 9-to-5 woman who has the same kind of lifestyle for years on end. I couldn't do it.

I never mind contorting myself for a good cause.

Red lips and fragrance always top off an outfit for me.

I have a lot of things to say and a lot of things to let out of me.

I have fun being sexy and tough at the same time.

I'm not just another bimbo.

What is it in us that makes us feel the need to keep pretending... we gotta let ourselves be.

In order to effect great change, we need to look at how we can help those in our own communities as well as globally.

I don't want to talk about genies in bottles anymore.

I still got the nasty in me.

I'm content with life, and I'm finally at that place where I feel relaxed and can really enjoy what's going on around me.

It's impossible to redefine yourself and your life overnight.

I'm experimental by nature... always exploring my creativity.

When I first met my husband, I needed that helping hand to take the reins and look after me.
