Fashion is much more than product. It's about entertainment and people feeling a part of something.

I firmly believe that Harper's Bazaar is the star. I am there to make it the best it possibly can be, but there should be no confusion. I want to put Harper's Bazaar front and center.

I think it's a very shallow thought to think creative people can't do business. I am as proud of the fact that our magazine has a commercial success as I am that we're a critical success. I want people to realize that I'm very strategic in how I run Bazaar.

I'm looking at celebrities who are relevant or who want to participate in some of our more adventurous ideas. I've often said we're not just about hemlines, we're about headlines. I love the idea that as a monthly magazine, we can break news stories.

I want technology to work for me, and my readers. People get confused that technology comes first. The ideas come first. You need to use the medium.

Alexey Brodovitch used to say, "Astonish me." We as the team at Bazaar hear that everyday because we want to surprise people.

It's so difficult to even suggest to me that I can't always achieve what I want right now; sometimes that is the reality. Time has taught me to be patient and flexible and I have to realize that maybe it wasn't meant to be right now but that doesn't mean it can't be next month or next year. It's inevitable, you get there in the end.
