R. J. Cutler
I remember once when I was working on a magazine, and one of the male editors was going on a field trip with one of his sons.

I’ll never forget the day when a woman came up to me and said, ‘No, you could never be on a magazine cover. Your face features don’t work; your eyes are small, you have a small face but a big nose.’ I was only 14 and I had never noticed any of that stuff, you know?
Gisele Bundchen

You don’t create a magazine for your readers. You don’t take a poll, you know, like the politicians do, and find out what they’re thinking and what they want… You’re supposed to be telling people what the hell you think is exciting and dynamic and thought-provoking, and do it – and do it your way.

Callum Smith
So people ask, ‘But how can you work for a friend?’ I say it’s because I know that the magazine is called ‘O.’ The bottom line is somebody has to have the final word. Oprah’s not right all the time, but her record is pretty damn good. That’s not to say you can’t disagree.
