'Vogue' is a very specific world. You are 'Vogue,' or not 'Vogue.'

'Vogue' has the power to make and break - whether it's fashion trends, designers, models, and yes, even industry practices.

'Vogue' is a very beautiful magazine, an institution, and I learned so much working there.

I want 'Vogue' to be pacy, sharp, and sexy - I'm not interested in the super-rich or infinitely leisured. I want our readers to be energetic executive women, with money of their own and a wide range of interests. There is a new kind of woman out there. She's interested in business and money.

I don't look at 'Vogue' to ask what I'm going to wear. Because it's something on a body too young. I have to look at the social pages to see women my age. To see how Amanda Burden is dressed and say, 'Hmmm. Maybe I should try that.'

'Vogue' is a bigger name than my name.

'Vogue' remains while its fashion editors come and go.
