When I came to 'Gourmet,' I had no clue how to run a magazine; for television, I am fascinated to learn about editing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are so many magazines and so many editors out there that you have to be different.
The process of editing is what I enjoy most - putting the pieces together and making sense out of them.
I watched television a little, but I mostly just drew and read magazines.
I love coming in and changing magazines.
I took the process of doing as much myself as I could like a duck to water. I set up my own label and publishing, etc, and it was a fun learning curve two decades ago.
I'm a big fan of editing and keeping only the interesting bits in.
Honestly, most of the stuff I made for 'TV on the Radio,' I write in the studio.
I like being an editor, and I know how to make a magazine.
By the time I came to the States, I really understood how a magazine works. I came to 'Vogue' as creative director, and three years later I went back to London to be editor in chief of British 'Vogue.'
I worked at magazines for over 10 years before I even thought of writing a book.
