I went to Wimbledon before I could walk. It's just been a lifelong passion.

They (fashion editors) have always been our secret weapon.

I'd just been on a trip to Minnesota, where I can only kindly describe most of the people I saw as little houses.

With all the new media outlets out there, with all the noise, a voice of authority and calm like Vogue becomes more important than ever. The more eyes on fashion, the more opinions about fashion, the more exploration of fashion around the world, the better it is for Vogue. Vogue is like Nike or Coca-Cola—this huge global brand. I want to enhance it, I want to protect it, and I want it to be part of the conversation.

I'm interested in seeing just the girl on the street because she is unlike any other. I'm inspired by whatever it is she might be wearing.

I’m very driven by what I do. I am certainly very competitive. I like people who represent the best at what they do. If that turns you into a perfectionist then maybe I am.

I don’t like people who are late.
