Every video I’m in, every magazine cover, they stretch you; they make you perfect. It’s not real life.
When I’m on the couch, I usually have the TV on and my MacBook Air nearby. And sometimes, when my ADD is really kicking in, I have my iPad too. And my iPhone. And a magazine that I haven’t gotten to. And a book under the pillow to my left.
98% of the people who get the magazine say they read the cartoons first – and the other 2% are lying.
When you have a magazine like ‘Vogue,’ you know a lot of kids are going to follow your pictures.
On some level, you could say you wouldn’t have ‘In Style Magazine’ at all had Anna Wintour not decided to put celebrities on the cover of ‘Vogue’ from her earliest years as Editor in Chief.
I think what we should have done is integrate the web site with the magazine much earlier in the process.
When I was in college, I was the editor of the literary magazine and insisted neither the editors nor the writers be specifically identified-only our student numbers appeared on the title page. I love that idea and still do.
I’d love to be ‘People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive, but I think that that’s a ways off. I have to stop wearing sweat pants, and then we’ll work on that.
I find the female tragedy of insecurity to be hilarious. We get obsessed over issues like the tiny skin tags on our backs or that we’re fat. You read one line in a magazine and it sends you into a tailspin.
Instagram is a 24-hour online magazine. You can see everything you like non-stop, and it has certainly had an effect on the makeup industry.
I’ve been a freelancer my entire career, and, at any given time, I have several deadlines for all sorts of things, whether it’s some magazine piece or ad copywriting or anything.
The most amazing thing for me is when I open up a magazine and I see someone I could be friends with and looks, maybe, slightly like me. And I think that’s the same with young girls. Because there needs to be diversity.
When I do see a picture of myself that has been touched up too much, I do get a bit sad… it makes me look like a hypocrite. It breaks my heart. I would rather shoot a magazine and shoot my flaws, but that’s not up to me.
The cover I was really excited about was ‘Seventeen’ magazine. To me, it was much bigger than ‘Time.’ ‘Seventeen’ was where I wanted to be.
Magazine stories, the best ones anyway, are generally a combination of three elements: access, narrative, and disclosure.
America puts killers on the cover of ‘TIME’ magazine, giving them as much notoriety as our favorite movie stars.
‘The Week’ is my favourite magazine. Everyone from presidents to CEOs of companies love it, politicians, people in the massive charity business in America, in the arts and even more especially in the media.
I did pose for ‘Black and White’ magazine, a prestigious, artistic publication, several years ago… I did this as a piece of art and make no apologies for the creative decisions I’ve made as an artist in my 20-year career.
Right after 9/11 there was a magazine with a cover of kids, mostly 12-14 year-olds, who were being trained for military combat. I thought that this had just gone too far.
The Village Voice gave me an outlet. They encouraged writers to publish idiosyncratic, intellectually ambitious journalism in voices that ranged from demonic to highfalutin. And they paid me well once the magazine was unionized. Getting paid is motivational.
I’m just going to go out there, and if people want to put me on the front of their magazine or whatever, that’s fine. If they don’t, that’s fine as well. I’m just going to go out there and make my music.
The trade magazine and all was banned in my house. The first time I read a film magazine was when I was 18.
My grandmother, in her retirement home, actually has a picture of me from ‘Star’ magazine on their fashion police list. I think that’s hilarious, but if Grandma approves, then I feel like I am all good.
If you’re holding a championship that means something in the landscape of Japanese wrestling, you’re guaranteed to get a huge feature in almost every magazine – you might even be guaranteed a front page. That’s big.
I don’t do ‘Image’ magazine or high-fashion shows.
The idea of a pseudonym had been flitting around my brain for a long time, along with its cognate, disappearance. In the 1980s, I published some poems under a pen name in a literary magazine to see what it would feel like. It was fun. It was even a little thrilling.
I graduated from Brown in 2001, moved to New York, and spent a year and a half just looking up ‘Backstage’ magazine auditions and grinding.
Now that I’m older, I like almost anything that’s done well, even surf music and instrumentals; I really enjoyed the interviews with the Ventures in your magazine.
My very favorite wrestler of all time was Andre the Giant. He was sort of like my best friend, believe it or not, and I have a picture in ‘People’ magazine of me sitting on his lap when I was 8 years old after ‘WrestleMania I.’
People failed to realize that when you’re living such a hyper, super reality of a life, where you’re just doing shows and you’re on TV and you’re talking to this magazine, that doesn’t bode well for trying to talk about everyday stuff that hopefully you’ll connect with people on.
I’m encouraged because you pick up any food magazine and there’s two or three recipes involving Indian spices.
I’m confident in my intentions and why I’m making music. I’m not making music because I want to be on your TV screen or the cover of your magazine.
I don’t like ‘transgender.’ It got so politically correct. I like transsexual – it sounds like a 1950s scandal magazine.
From the late 19th to the early 20th century, the December issue of almost any general-interest magazine regularly featured a holiday horror or two.
I got the regular call, that they were doing a Broadway musical of Hairspray, and would I come and audition. I was familiar with the movie, because at the time it came out my lover wrote for Premiere magazine, and we had to see everything.
Some of the biggest changes that have happened are behind the scenes, in the way we produce the magazine. E.g., much of our production has been brought in-house via desktop publishing.
Many billboards and magazine ads have resorted to showing isolated body parts rather than full-body portraits of models using or wearing products. This style of photography, known in the industry as abstract representation, allows the viewer to see himself in the advertisement, rather than the model.
The poetry and transgression that was so much of surrealism’s anarchic force has been recruited into mainstream culture. It has been made commonplace by television and magazine merchandising, by computer games and Internet visuals, by film and MTV, by the fashion shoot.
‘Girls’ is a huge show, as far as buzz, and magazine covers, and getting a ton of copy, and awards. And yet I don’t think the viewership is huge.
I can only speak from my own personal experience, being behind the camera and in front of it, but every magazine cover you see is completely airbrushed.
Sometimes people won’t be able to relate to you if you look like you’re straight out of a full blown ‘Vogue’ magazine every time they see you.
People think they have a perfect idea of who you are from a four-second Snapchat video… and fake blogs, stories, magazine covers. In reality, that’s not the case. Nobody knows who I am except family and my close friends.
I think if you’re at the point where you’re popular enough to sell your wedding photos to OK! Magazine then you don’t need the money.
Online, you have things like Slate Magazine, which has a lot of commentary and analysis of stories, so it gives you a fuller picture. I would compare that to a news magazine or the New Republic.
I wrote that letter, and the one to Nixon. And I wrote more letters, and I thought it might be a magazine article. At that time I sent it to Esquire and Playboy, but anyway, I kept writing, and all of sudden I had enough and thought, well maybe it is a book.
It was in 1976, I think. I was in South Africa on military engagement when someone left a magazine on my bed with the picture of a beautiful woman on the cover. I read that her name was Parveen Babi and I thought, I must go to Bombay and meet her.
It’s not good to put in a magazine what I weigh because it’s too little. People freak out when they hear what I weigh. They think, ‘Oh, you’re too skinny.’
As slavery died for the greater good of America, and the movement for equality sputtered to life, the white woman was on the cover of every American magazine. She was the dazzling jewel on every movie screen, the glory of every commercial and television show.
There was an interesting article in Los Angeles Magazine about women directors. A woman director makes one bad independent film and her career is over. Guys tend to get an opportunity to learn from their mistakes.
My only real claim to fame is that I was southern England show-jumping champion in 1966. The day after my father died, ‘Horse & Hound’ magazine tipped me as a future Olympic champion, and I took it seriously. You can only really enjoy something if you take it seriously.
Anyone who’s in the magazine business thinks about advertisers when they write about something. And anyone who says they don’t is a liar.
