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

Never worry about the facts. Just project an image to the public.

Vogue always did stand for people's lives. I mean, a new dress doesn't get you anywhere; it's the life you're living in the dress, and the sort of life you had lived before, and what you will do in it later.

The way to judge a good hand is that the fingers are the same size at the tip as where they come out of the hand itself.

Power has got to be the most intoxicating thing in the world—and of all forms of power the most intoxicating is fame.

I was always sort of a loner, I suppose. I always had to think out everything for myself... I suppose that is what you call a loner.

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.
