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.

Nobody wants to be the same as anybody else.

Knowing when you're not good at something and knowing when you are good at something is an art-form.

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.

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

To me, I always listen to what my instincts tell me. The biggest mistakes I've ever made is when I've ignored what I know to be true in my heart.

I love the return of sweetness and lace. Ladylike dressing is back and it's beautiful.
