Andre Leon Talley
People have always been fascinated by people in the public eye and what they wear, what they are doing, but not in a tabloid way. Tabloid celebrities are a turnoff. A lot of celebrities...you wonder why they are celebrities.
Andre Leon Talley
Russia is a place of great culture. If you've read Tolstoy's War and Peace, Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, Chekhov...the culture of the great Russian literature is amazing. The human narrative you get out of War and Peace is universal.
