I can't make anything. I don't know how to make a dress. I couldn't go on a shoot and create an image. I can't write a script. I have so much admiration for people who can do these things, because I would have no idea where to start.

There's barely a strand of the modern media that the Kardashian-Wests haven't been able to master, and for good reason: Kanye is an amazing performer and cultural provocateur, while Kim, through her strength of character, has created a place for herself in the glare of the world's spotlight, and it takes real guts to do that.

Imperfection is fine.

There's no point about whining or complaining or screaming.

Just be true to yourself, and listen as much as one is able to to other people whose opinions you respect and look up to but in the end it has to come from you. You can't really worry too much by looking to the left and the right about what the competition is doing or what other people in your field are doing. It has to be a true vision.

We are devastated to learn of the death of Alexander McQueen, one of the greatest talents of his generation. He brought a uniquely British sense of daring and aesthetic fearlessness to the global stage of fashion. In such a short career, Alexander McQueen's influence was astonishing -- from street style, to music culture and the world's museums. His passing marks an insurmountable loss.

I think what you have to do in print is to create even more memorable images and more memorable pieces because what one consumes online or in social has a much shorter shelf life, so to speak, so what print has to have is no more weight, but it has to be something that you can't find so easily online. It has to really stand for print.

I don't think in today's world you can go too far. However you may feel about social media or the Internet or selfies, it's part of how we all live today. 'Vogue' needs to understand and reflect that.

The beauty of what Apple does at Apple is that they're not on trend; they are classic.

In my own personal career, I have felt almost the most difficult thing to deal with is someone who doesn't tell you what they are thinking.

In the fact that 'Vogue' is someone that can help guide enormous audiences through this fascinating world, I would like to think we are as influential and actually are now reaching so many more people than we ever dreamt of back in the Fifties or the Sixties.

I hope that President-elect Trump will be a successful president for us all.

Learning how to be editor-in-chief of 'Vogue' wasn't something that happened overnight.

The elitist way of looking on the runway, frankly, seems old fashioned.

If you look at any great fashion photograph out of context, it will tell you just as much about what's going on in the world as a headline in the New York Times.

'Vogue' is the best of everything that fashion can offer, and I think we point the way. We are, you know, a glamorous girlfriend.

Well it just looks so ugly. Is it a boy or is it a girl?

I worked for Harper's Bazaar. They fired me. I recommend that you all get fired; it's a great learning experience.

I learned how important it is to lead and be decisive and to, in a way, empower other people to do their best.

If one comes across sometimes as being cold or brusque, it's simply because I'm striving for the best.
