Quote

I like being a writer.

I wanted to be an editor or a journalist, I wasn't really interested in being an entrepreneur, but I soon found I had to become an entrepreneur in order to keep my magazine going.

I've been a teacher at the college level, in composition mostly, and I've been an editor on magazines.

There was a part of me that always wanted to be an editor.

There are so many magazines and so many editors out there that you have to be different.

After university, I got a job sub-editing and for years I was a literary editor.

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.'

The first job I was offered was as an editorial assistant. I think it was the best thing for me, in terms of being a storyteller by nature, to have spent years being an editor because I learned so much from it.

I'm a journalist and author. I make my living by finding things out and writing about them.

I think one of the best jobs in the universe must be being the editor of 'The New Yorker', but there are a number of magazines that I'd be excited to be the editor of. They would be 'Wired', 'The New Yorker' and probably, 'Vogue'.
