Well, I grew up around the magazine and was part of a generation that was embracing our sexuality.
I freelanced for the 'Boston Phoenix.'
I expected to go into journalism or law.
Being a CEO still means sitting across the table from big institutional investors and showing your leadership and having them believe in you.
I never have to this day, because my money is the money I earn.
The very first stock I bought right out of college was Berkshire Hathaway.
I don't know what a world would be like if you do away with sexy images.
From the time that I can remember, I worked to make money - either baby-sitting, or one year wrapping gifts at a department store at Christmas, so I could have my own money.
I'm basically a gift-giver.
I'm surrounded by very powerful women and very progressive men.
I think in terms of what I am able to accomplish and build.
No, I never thought about my father's money as my money.
I developed a great sense of self-confidence when I was very young.
Some, but much of my money is tied up in Playboy stock.
Not only did I enjoy the creative side of Playboy and enjoy being surrounded by people who are curious about life, but I also love the analytical and hard business side of it.
I know what the attitudes of the readers are: These are guys who love women and respect women.
I had an allowance, but I had to do things around the house to earn it. I think I always wanted my own money.
Actually, my parents were separated by the time I was about 2 years old.
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 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.
