I wasn't a fashion editor. I was the one and only fashion editor.

I think i always had a perfectly clear view of what was possible for the public. "Give'em what they never knew they wanted".

A funny person is funny only for so long, but a wit can sit down and go on being spellbinding forever.

I was always fascinated by the absurdities and luxuries and the snobbism of the world that fashion magazines showed. Of course, it’s not for everyone...But I lived in that world, not only during my years in the magazines business but for years before, because I was always of that world-- at least in my imagination.

I adore artifice. I always have.

Truth is a hell of a big point with me. Now I exaggerate—always.

In a Balenciaga you were the only woman in the room - no other woman existed.
