More quotes by Andre Leon Talley
I always feel comfortable, basically in any situation except perhaps airports.
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.
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
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.

It's incorrect to assume you can be a fashion editor because you blog, if you don't have experience to look at fashion in a professional way.
Andre Leon Talley
Beauty is health. Health is beauty.
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
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
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 have 4 bedrooms in my house. 1 is for guests, the other 3 are for closets.
Andre Leon Talley
I'm so sick of mermaid dresses, trains, borrowed bling-bling, and a pose.
Andre Leon Talley
I do believe there's a heaven. I do believe that God has given me the resilience and the survival skills to withstand the chiffon trenches.
Andre Leon Talley
Drekitude is the lowest point in the lowest ebb. It could be your look. It could be your shoes. It could be that you're standing wrong. Drek is a total, total, total hot mess.
Andre Leon Talley
Luxury is...to be able to take control of one's life, health, and the pursuit of happiness in a way that is joyful.
