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.
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.

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.

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.
