I think part of my success as an editor came from never worrying about a fact, a cause, an atmosphere. It was me—projecting to the public. That was my job. I think I always had a perfectly clear view of what was possible for the public. Give ‘em what they never knew they wanted.

The first thing to do is to arrange to be born in Paris. After that, everything follows quite naturally.

Fragrances fill the senses with the mysterious.

I'm terrible on facts. But I always have an idea. If you have an idea, you're well ahead

Beauty has nothing to do with possession. If possession and beauty must go together, then we are lost souls. A beautiful flower is not to be possessed, it's there to be beheld. … It's there for your pleasure.
