I don't think the woman in French 'Vogue' was an object. She was always a real woman. ”

When you're editor-in-chief of a big magazine, you cannot be a cover girl for MAC; you cannot be the face of Givenchy - of course you can't; it's doesn't go with the job. ”

I'm still like a butterfly going from one job to another job. But it's quite lovely - I hope to keep this freedom, to have fun. ”

You can't put yourself into competition with a magazine like 'Vogue.' You have to create something new, something different. ”

London Fashion Week isn't the most organised, but I don't mind that. It's such an exciting place - it's small and cool. ”

I'm not a nostalgic person: I never look back; I always forget. ”

You don't choose your public; your public chooses you. ”

I keep my old friends, and get older with them, but push young. It's good to be surrounded by kids, because they keep you young. ”

When you have a magazine like 'Vogue,' you know a lot of kids are going to follow your pictures. ”

There are so many magazines and so many editors out there that you have to be different. ”
