I surround myself with a talented group of people that are opinionated and interesting. I try to remain very open to what others have to say.

I'm an ice queen, I'm the Sun King, I'm an alien fleeing from District 9 and I'm a dominatrix. So I reckon that makes me a lukewarm royalty with a whip from outer space.

Some people have the Bible. I have Vogue.

If one comes across sometimes as being cold or brusque, it's simply because I'm striving for the best.

Vogue' is the best of everything that fashion can offer, and I think we point the way. We are, you know, a glamorous girlfriend.

Gisele Bundchen, along w Kate Moss, is a phenomenon. I wish models knew they have to have a personality

It is a family; it's a slightly dysfunctional family, but it's also very close and warm and loving family.
