More quotes by Andre Leon Talley
I think it's important that models be healthy.
Andre Leon Talley
Look at 'American Idol,' which I don't look at. Those winners haven't become household names except for Jennifer Hudson, and she was a reject. You can't aim to be a household name. You just have to be successful.
Andre Leon Talley
Waiting in line for something mundane is very boring. Waiting for my doctor to see me and waiting for my dentist to see me, yes, that is boring.
Andre Leon Talley
I think people look great in black. I love that what stands out is the person, especially. Black just conveys a kind of drama, even if it can be quiet drama. It does lend to the wearer a sense of confidence.

Like Hillary Clinton before her, Mrs. Obama has always been a working woman. She is a lawyer turned hospital administrator turned political right hand. It is a unique resume.
Andre Leon Talley
I have 4 bedrooms in my house. 1 is for guests, the other 3 are for closets.
Andre Leon Talley
Reality TV, although I'm a part of it, I think reality TV is a terrible thing.
Andre Leon Talley
I'm usually at home and in bed by 10 o'clock. I do not want to be out at anybody's New Year's Eve party.
Andre Leon Talley
When I have interns, I always say, 'Handwritten thank-you notes can make a difference.' People remember that - not an e-mail, a handwritten note in an envelope.
Andre Leon Talley
I love Russian culture. I don't know the young Russia, I'm not at all familiar with young Russia, but the old school Russia is good enough for me for the moment.
Andre Leon Talley
Some days are good some days are not so good. Some days are really exciting. Some days are just tedious. You just have to get up out of bed.
Andre Leon Talley
The most luxurious item is a beautiful bed and beautiful, simple sheets.
Andre Leon Talley
Fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez was a major part of my early career.
