At home I have hunting magazines on my nightstand. I’m an avid hunter. I hunt every chance I get.
I actually don’t know how magazines are produced, I’ll be honest with you. I have no idea.
I’m not a media darling. I’m not on the cover of all these magazines. I just quietly do my thing.
Book reviewing dates only to the eighteenth century, when, for the first time, there were so many books being printed that magazines – they were new, too – started printing essays about them.
Frankly, I don’t understand the monthly magazines that continue to publish news that is two months old and which has already been reported on ad nauseam online, including on their own websites.
We all have our vanities. The retouching magazines like ‘Vogue’ do is the professional version of the retouching we do when we, for example, apply Instagram filters to the pictures we take and share on our social networks.
If I took over the ‘Glamour’ offices for a day, I would put Joe Pesci on the cover. I would say ‘We’ve got to change all these magazines a little bit. We have to bring out a different version of what is, like, cool. You know, what’s winning. Joe Pesci, Burt Reynolds.’
It’s funny because the action figures are cool, and then I enjoy the magazines because that’s me. Obviously, the fans are wonderful – they’re so excited – but I’m not Rey, and people tend to not be able to differentiate the two.
I don’t really read magazines that much. I read comic books.
Magazines at some point become hostage to their own success.
There are actors who aren’t on the cover of magazines but still decide what work they want and when they want it. I want a family one day. So I dream of really being able to decide when to work and when not to.
I am not one of those fat birds who feels miserable because models are thin. Frankly, I feel more insulted by the idea that unless I see other fat birds in fashion magazines, I will be reduced to a sniveling wreck of a human being.
With superheroes and comics and fantasy and sci-fi being absolutely the popular currency in cinema, it’s like people have said in endless magazines, it’s the revenge of the geeks and all that. There’s some truth in that.
There are so many magazines and so many editors out there that you have to be different.
No one ever questions where all these pictures in magazines and books come from.
I’m in production year round. I work long hours. I have a dog and a wife. There’s not a lot of available time for consuming any culture: T.V., movies, books. When I read, it’s generally magazines, newspapers and web sites.
There are a significant number of people who appreciate what we do, and most of them gravitate to Analog because this is where they can find it. The other magazines tend to share their audiences, which may result in each of them having a smaller market share.
I never saw anyone my size in magazines when I was younger.
I want to see different faces on the covers of magazines, the stars of movies, featured on billboards.
I guess I’m entertaining; I guess I’m interesting. I guess the things that I say sell papers. I guess they sell magazines. I don’t know.
My mother was a beauty queen in her hey day. That’s where I learnt a little about makeup and hair… I had never picked up or even seen a ‘Vogue’ before I was 17. I had no idea about fashion, magazines, models or designers. No idea.
Everything important in sci-fi showed up in the magazines first. It’s the proving ground for new writers and new ideas.
I have a problem with fashion magazines sometimes – they seem to have these dogmas or uniforms. ‘This is the way you must look; this is this season’s must-have.’ I really resent the phrase ‘must-have.’ I prefer to decide for myself what I think is beautiful or fashionable.
I’ve never worked in advertising – my experience was as an editorial designer for magazines – but you could say, in the bigger picture, that magazines are vehicles for colour advertising.
They don’t have the news media set up in Africa that we do in the United States, where televisions are so accessible and newspapers and magazines are able to educate people.
And why do we, who say we oppose tyranny and demand freedom of speech, allow people to go to prison and be vilified, and magazines to be closed down on the spot, for suggesting another version of history.
It’s hard to remember, when you look at a magazine or when you look at pictures of people, and you forget that those people are people like you. They have flaws and insecurities. That’s so easy to forget, even for me, as somebody who’s sometimes in those magazines.
Being a teen idol or being a heartthrob on all the magazines, with Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, and Scott Baio – it was embarrassing! I never understood it. I mean, why me? I never really got it.
Yeah, I’ve been in booty magazines and did music videos but guess what? I can be on Nickelodeon too if I want to!
I grew up poor and used to look at people in big houses and thought they had everything. Then later on I looked at models in magazines and thought they had it all.
I’ve always been kind of uncomfortable just on the beach in a swimsuit. I’m never my most confident in a bikini on the beach, especially when you know people are looking at you, and they expect one thing because of what they see in the magazines, and you might not look that way. It’s always been a scary thing for me.
I definitely think there should be stronger gun safety laws, including prohibiting the sale of assault weapons, probably banning the sale of certain magazines that allow you to fire a large amount of bullets.
I often find myself worrying about celebrities. It’s an entirely caring thing; it’s not like the people who commission those photographs with cruel arrows to go on the covers of the celebrity magazines. The photographs show botched plastic surgery, raging eczema, weight gain and horrible clothes for maximum schadenfreude.
I grew up poor and used to look at people in big houses and thought they had everything. Then, later on, I looked at models in magazines and thought they had it all. When you have the ability to live that life, to some extent you find out that they don’t have any magic cure for everything.
I love all the gift guides that the magazines put out, whether it’s ‘InStyle’ doing Mother’s Day gifts or color guides, or the ‘O’ magazine Christmas guide.
Sometimes I write captions on the in-flight magazines and then replace them in the seat pocket.
The magazines are always full of something or other about me.
As a child, I used to steal Indian film magazines.
I love coming in and changing magazines.
I’m coming from a small town in Quebec where, at that time, there was no Internet, and the way to be in contact with movies were those American fan magazines like ‘Fantastic Films’ and ‘Starlog,’ and I still remember the shock, the impact of seeing the first frames, the first pictures coming out of ‘Blade Runner.’
What I can’t understand is why people still won’t give me the credibility that I look for. If Mojo or any other of those magazines would give me the credit for only ever performing my own songs rather than someone like Rod Stewart singing other people’s songs looking for success.
I don’t read a lot of books but love magazines like ‘Psychology Today.’ It’s great for getting quick facts.
You see those magazines, ‘Oh, look at so-and-so without makeup, Halle Berry without makeup.’ It’s so crazy to wake up in the morning and have that thought – ‘Do I need to put makeup on? Do I need to do something because I know people are going to know who I am?’
I don’t think we treat people very well in the media, both as customers – and I call them customers – of newspapers and magazines, or TV news, and we don’t understand that the greatest story that we could tell, each and every day, is the story of the people around us.
Being a studio make-up artist and working on magazines was the only thing I wanted to do.
Writing for TV made way more sense than writing for magazines. And by sense, I mean money.
The word ‘Playboy’ alone doesn’t exactly give most women a warm, fuzzy feeling, yet many of the Playboy photos end up in the most praised photo and art magazines and in critically acclaimed photo exhibitions.
The error that we tend to make is that we think that women’s magazines are what editors want and what their readers want – and thus are social indicators – when, in fact, they are what advertisers want. They’re just advertising indicators.
At a magazine, everything you do is edited by a bunch of people, by committee, and a lot of them are, were, or think of themselves as writers. Part of that is because magazines worry about their voice.
I grew up in a very British family who had been transplanted to Canada, and my grandmother’s house was filled with English books. I was a very early reader, so I was really brought up being surrounded with piles of British books and British newspapers, British magazines. I developed a really great love of England.
I enjoy doing digital work. I enjoy sculpting digitally. I’ve had my digital sculptures on covers of the top digital magazines.
I believe that all brands will become storytellers, editors and publishers, all stores will become magazines, and all media companies will become stores. There will be too many of all of them. The strongest ones, the ones who offer the best customer experience, will survive.
