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

“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.”

“If you apply reason and logic to this career of mine, you're not going to get very far. You simply won't.”

“Being on stage taught me how to apply eyeliner.”

“You can get anything online, including things that don't even exist. We've invented our own collective unconscious. The normal rules of time and space don't apply. It's held together by some other force than gravity. It's endless. It's like some unimaginably huge, messy novel that's writing itself both with and without us.”
