There certainly was a lot of potential in the air for doing a magazine which focused on the way business, in particular, was being transformed by the Internet.
I came out, as not enough of our stories are told from our perspective. ‘Marie Claire’ was offering the chance to be a part of a women’s magazine, which often celebrates ordinary women doing extraordinary things.
I was a huge fan of ‘Mad’ magazine when I was 11, 12, 13 years old. I’d scour used bookstores trying to find back issues, and I’d wait at the newsstand for a new issue to come out. My life revolved around it.
Fashion has always had the ability to affect lives, to touch people. But for the longest period of time, we’ve said, ‘Oh, we’re just pages of a magazine; that’s what we all look at.’ It’s more than that.
In the beginning, you know, everyone told me, ‘Your eyes are too small, the nose is too big, you can never be on a magazine cover.’ But, you know what? The big nose is coming with a big personality.

If you go on my Instagram, you’re not going to see the same content you’ll see on my YouTube. Instagram has become the new magazine.

I don’t want a splashy magazine wedding with celebrities.
I think at places like ‘Slate’ or the magazine where I work, there was a really poor record of hiring African-American writers. It was really that simple. And I think with the proliferation of the Internet and Internet media, it has been a little harder to maintain that gatekeeper position.

Objective journalism and an opinion column are about as similar as the Bible and Playboy magazine.
It’s very difficult today for girls to become supermodels. There is a lot more competition, a lot of countries in the East have opened up so there are many more models than there were in the Nineties. Now they have to compete with famous actresses but also with, say, reality stars to be on the magazine covers.
You buy a movie, you should get it anywhere you want it. You pay for a network, you should have that anywhere you want. Same thing with a magazine.

The New York Times Bestseller ‘The Amateur,’ written by Ed Klein, former editor of the ‘New York Times Magazine,’ is one of the best books I’ve read.
I decided I would open this little actors’ workshop I always told actors to look for. That gave me something to do on Wednesday nights, and after about a year of that, I realized that some of the things I was saying to actors probably had broader application. I ran into a magazine called ‘Speakers For Free.’
I wasn’t going to a charity event in order to get a picture, in order to get into a magazine.

I read a magazine called ‘Cinefantastique’ that had just come out with a making of ‘Star Wars’ issue. They had some very long and detailed interviews with a whole bunch of people at ILM. I think I memorized that whole magazine.
I’ve never graced the cover of a fashion magazine.
Once, in a magazine interview, I said the difference between shoe ladies and bag ladies is that shoe ladies are just a bit classier. Finished! That started World War III among all the women I knew. I only meant that shoes do more for your look and body than bags do!
If you look at the back pages of ‘New York Times Magazine,’ and they talk about these 6.5-million-dollar condos with a great view, like you’re going to pay for a great view. Well, the top floor of the projects have a great view, too.

The first time my friends saw me in a magazine I was so excited.
I have been hearing gossip and lies since I began working. When I was 17, I used to get very angry because I opened a magazine and I saw myself in a picture on a motorcycle, and the headline was, ‘I’m getting married next month.’
When I look at a magazine and I see Kate Winslet, I will buy it because Kate lends it a sense of achievement: she is brilliant, sexy, a mother.
A magazine or a newspaper is a shop. Each is an experiment and represents a new focus, a new ratio between commerce and intellect.
I discovered that I act because I really love to act. I don’t act because maybe it will get me a magazine cover or that I can get on a talk show.
I had – in my early 20s and late teens, I had adopted this idea that I was the future face. And that was in large part due to this Time Magazine cover from 1993 that proclaimed the future face of America.
I got a journalism degree. I started doing journalism – I interned at ‘Cosmopolitan’ magazine in the 1970s, which probably wasn’t the best place for me, and I spent six or nine months freelancing. Anyway, I wasn’t that good at it.
For me, the magazine was always the heart of what my life was all about, and the other half was living the life.

Even in the business department of a magazine, tech was a backwater.
I find it exhausting to administer a magazine without an office or paid staff.

‘Ebony’ has been more than a magazine; it is a movement.
I have a lovely bath tub that feels like my sanctuary. I fill it up with a lavender bubble bath, read a magazine and just chill out.
