Anna Wintour

I wasn't academically successful. And maybe I've spent a lot of my career trying to make up for that.

I think of young Chinese women today as being incredibly modern and are taking a lot from Western style and tailoring.

I am very lucky in my team. They sit opposite me, and I get to see them every day sitting there staring at the seating chart, not doing much. It is almost like a chess game.

The world of entertainment is, like the world of fashion, becoming increasingly populated by those who don't want to do things the same old boring way.

We all have a role to play in creating safe environments where everyone can be free to work without fear.

In 1986, I returned to London as editor in chief of 'British Vogue.' Although I still thought of myself as totally English, to my surprise, everyone here thought I was some sort of American control freak.

Print publications have to be as luxurious an experience as possible. You have to feel it coming off the page. You have to see photographs and pieces that you couldn't possibly see anywhere else.

I think it's very important for children to understand that women work and that it's fulfilling, and it doesn't mean that they love you any less or care about you any less.

I think everyone in the United States has such admiration for the British royal family, and with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, there's a whole new interest in the younger generation.

I've never worn a hoodie before!

I learned how important it is to lead and be decisive and to, in a way, empower other people to do their best.

In the end I do respond to my own instincts. Sometimes they're successful, and obviously sometimes they're not. But you have to, I think, remain true to what you believe in.

My father was a newspaper editor, so I was surrounded by journalists my entire life. I think the fact that he was so well known may be why I chose to go into magazines and move to the States at a young age.

The elitist way of looking on the runway, frankly, seems old fashioned.

Trump's foundation has done nothing. Its board is packed with relatives, and he's going to use his presidency to sell himself and his brand and profit personally for himself and his family.

I don't really follow market research. In the end, I respond to my own instincts.

Fashion today is available to everybody in a way that it's never been before: you've got every designer you've ever heard of working for H& or Target. That's fantastic.

Designers don't live in a vacuum; they are not blind to what's going on. They, too, will be inspired by what they see, and that will come out in their work.

In my own personal career, I have felt almost the most difficult thing to deal with is someone who doesn't tell you what they are thinking.

I'm horribly hands-on, I'm afraid. I like to read every caption.
