When I was at ‘Newsweek’ magazine – which, you know, this really sounds like I walked four miles in the snow to school – but I started at ‘Newsweek’ magazine in 1963, which was before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. So it was actually legal to discriminate against women, and ‘Newsweek’ did.
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.
Getting over someone is a grieving process. You mourn the loss of the relationship, and that’s only expedited by ‘Out of sight, out of mind.’ But when you walk outside and see them on a billboard or on TV or on the cover of a magazine, it reopens the wound. It’s a high-class problem, but it’s real.
Not long ago, every time I did a picture shoot for a magazine, the photographer would ask me to show up wearing jeans and cowboy boots. They seemed to think I was a hillbilly. Now it’s different. Now they’re not quite sure what to make of me. And I show up wearing whatever I want.
I’m often reading a magazine and hearing about someone’s new record, and I think, ‘Oh, boy, that’s gonna be better than me.’ It’s a very common thing.
I’ve never been critically acclaimed. I’ve never been nominated for no Grammy. I’ve never been on no magazine cover. It’s almost taboo to say I’m actually good.
I don’t read about myself, and I don’t read any magazine that has anything to do with movies or show business.
By the mid-noughties, I found that I was no longer the only openly gay person in every setting. At one point, a couple of Moscow magazine publishers even got the idea that they should actively headhunt gay and lesbian staff.
I want ‘The Lady’ magazine to be restored to its traditional place in the pantheon of weekly magazines.
A magazine is simply a device to induce people to read advertising.
My allegiance was always to the act. I wanted them to be happy. I wasn’t owned by a magazine or a record label. And I was a very naughty boy to boot!
In Fargo, they say, well, that’s a job. How well do you get paid? For example, for this book I was written about in Entertainment Weekly, and it was kind of cool because my mom asked me if Entertainment Weekly was a magazine or a newspaper.
When ‘Teen Vogue’ started out, ‘Teen Vogue’ was an aspirational fashion magazine for fashion lovers. You know, it was the little sister to ‘Vogue.’ And over the years, we’ve realized that our mission was really to become more focused on making this an inclusive community that speaks to every kind of young person.
Someone coming out as gay shouldn’t be newsworthy; it shouldn’t be warranting a magazine cover or anything like that, which I had as my story for coming out.
I’m attracted to bold women – I collect them. I met one of my best friends when we both were about 22 and working at ‘Mirabella’ magazine. I was wearing this blue dress I had borrowed from my mom, and I didn’t know I had deodorant lines all over it until my friend signaled to me.
I was never really aware of being famous. Being in a magazine or on a billboard – that really didn’t register to me at all when I was younger. People would come up to me and recognize me, but I was very fortunate in that people were always so warm.
The market for short stories is hard to break into, but a magazine editor isn’t always looking for big names with which to sell his magazine – they’re more willing to try stories by newcomers, if those tales are good.
Getting out any weekly magazine requires many hours of reading, choosing, discarding, and thinking beyond the obvious.
I never planned on doing a book about Paul Farmer or his organization. I met him in Haiti when I was on a magazine assignment. It’s almost like his story sort of fell in my lap.
You can’t pick up a business magazine ever without seeing the word ‘collaborate’ splashed all over it. I think people are probably feeling assaulted by the need to always be on and always be interacting.
I got all my politics and culture and my sense of the great wide world of adults from ‘Mad Magazine.’ But all other comic books literally gave me a headache.
When I first came to America, you know, I would look at the newsstands and see the women on the magazine covers. I had never seen anyone smile the way these girls smile! It’s like they have nothing to worry about!
A magazine once asked my favourite beauty product and I said water.
If you take a print magazine with a million person circulation, and a blog with a devout readership of 1 million, for the purpose of selling anything that can be sold online, the blog is infinitely more powerful, because it’s only a click away.
I started, actually, in journalism when I was – well. I started at the ‘New York Times’ when I was 18 years old, actually, but really got into journalism when I was 15 years old and had started a sports magazine which was trying to become a national sports magazine.
I was a bartender, a hot-dog vendor, a cook, sold magazine subscriptions.
I went from a guy, kind of a working actor, a supporting player, to magazine covers and being offered the studio pictures really quickly. Nobody was comfortable with it. I wasn’t really comfortable with it.
What really destroyed Tucker Carlson, respected magazine journalist, was TV. TV exposed him as glib, smug, and not nearly as clever as he thought he was.
I grew up in a family where no one had written a newspaper or magazine article about anybody in my family for a hundred years, right? Then, all of a sudden, we’re getting one millennium’s worth of media attention in six months.
I was reading a magazine when I was a little kid, probably about twelve years old, and an ad said that if you sell so many jars of Noxzema skin cream, we’ll sell you a ukulele. So I went out and banged on doors in the snow in Quincy, Massachusetts, where I was raised, and I sold the skin cream.
‘MAD Magazine’ put out a book that was a collection of Trump cartoons, and they asked me to do the forward because they knew that I was a fan because I’d done stories and tweeted about ‘MAD.’ So I did the forward and asked them if I could do a cartoon. They let me, and I did caricatures of myself and Wolf Blitzer.
It is the growth of advertising in this country which, more than any single element, has brought the American magazine to its present enviable position in points of literary, illustrative and mechanical excellence.
I feel like the only person in the world who sees David Beckham modelling his swimming pants on the cover of Elle magazine and thinks – oh, how much better a handsome guy like you would look, David, without all those dumb ink stains stitched into your skin.
I worked at ‘Mademoiselle,’ and then it shut, and I worked at ‘GQ’ for three years, during which I was freelancing. I wrote for ‘Vibe.’ I did music reviews. I wrote for ‘Time Out.’ I was desperate to get into ‘Entertainment Weekly’ or ‘New York Magazine.’ Like, desperate.
The first review our band ever got – when I was 17 years old and we had just released our first EP, and this tiny little magazine wrote a review on it, and for that month, we were the best album of the month, and we were also the worst album of the month. We won best and worst album of the month in the same magazine.
My introduction to art was winning a Weetabix drawing competition: I did a picture of a combine harvester. My sister used to read Jackie magazine in those days, so next I drew a picture of Mark Bolan for them and won a prize.
I’m a lad of the ’60s. I started a magazine to try and end the Vietnam war, but it was a number of years before I had the profile, the financial resources and the time to do more.
I was asked about doing a nude shoot for men’s magazine GQ. I thought it was the funniest thing I’d ever heard.
Egypt, the Egypt of antiquity, at a later time, exercised a mysterious fascination over me. I recognized a picture of it immediately, without hesitation and astonishment, in an illustrated magazine.
I just fell into the job as a fashion editor at a teen magazine. I was there for two years, and I left there as a senior fashion editor at the age of 25.
You see someone on the street wearing an outfit and then it’s on the cover of a magazine. I love. But, you know, I’m Australian, so I’m not too flashy or glitzy.
I started my own magazine with drawings, commentary, news, film reviews and drawings.
I don’t think I had a role model. I just was very inspired by an article which I read in Forbes magazine around the information superhighway and the Arpanet and stuff like that. To me, that intuitively made sense, and when I decided to come to the U.S., I knew exactly what I wanted to go and write about.
Forrest Mims is the author of the famous book ‘Getting Started in Electronics,’ published by RadioShack for many years. I bought the book in the 1980s and had a blast making the projects in it. When I was editor-in-chief of ‘MAKE,’ I asked Forrest to write a column for the magazine, called ‘The Backyard Scientist.’
My favorite subject was English or creative writing. We did poems and making a magazine, and I did one on celebrities. I called it ‘Celebrity Life Magazine.’ I interviewed my good friend Kaley Cuoco.
How valuable NBC Magazine was in my career is questionable.
Mark Zuckerberg needs no introduction these days, what with all the magazine covers and morning news shows. My mother knows who he is now, and my mother can hardly turn on a computer.
