The fact is that movie stars are as insecure as the rest of us - if not more so. Many live in a luxurious bubble in which their best friends are their trainer, their hairdresser, their publicist, and their Kabbalah instructor.

More quotes by Graydon Carter
As you get older and fatter, good clothes can hide a lot.
Graydon Carter
People think they have to be ambitious. But at a certain age, all you want is to be around nice, decent people.
Graydon Carter
I walk down the street and people don't go, 'my God, there he is.' I lead as normal a life as you can lead in New York City.

I think being Canadian helps you as a journalist in America, because you're sort of on the outside watching this big party going on, and you're sort of taking mental notes as it goes on. I think if you're in the party the whole time, you don't notice it as much. And I think Canadians are very good observers of American culture.

In an age when all that was old seems new again, Bernard DeVoto's The Hour couldn't have made a more timely reappearance. This book reminds me of one of the joys of being an adult-cocktail hour!
Graydon Carter
After the collapse of Wall Street in the 1920s, the culture stopped being all about money, and the country survived and ultimately flourished.

As any editor will tell you, startling newsroom revelations are generally met with queries about where the information came from and how the reporter got it. Seriously startling revelations are followed by the vetting of libel lawyers.
Graydon Carter
The fact is, unlike a lot of writers, I credit the people who help me. A lot of writers out there have a ton of researchers and they don't get credited in the book.
Graydon Carter
I think the absence of socks on men wearing suits and brogues is a problem. They'll live to regret that.
Graydon Carter
Somewhere along the way, New York became all about money. Or rather, it was always about money, but it wasn't all about money, if you know what I mean. New York's not Geneva or Zurich yet, but we're certainly heading in that direction. London is, too.
Graydon Carter
Life is all about seating and lighting.
Graydon Carter
Memory is often - perhaps usually - a distorting lens: what we think we remember isn't the way it was at all. It's what we'd like to remember.
Graydon Carter
The shelf life of a movie actor or actress is so short, it's like milk.
Graydon Carter
We admire elephants in part because they demonstrate what we consider the finest human traits: empathy, self-awareness, and social intelligence. But the way we treat them puts on display the very worst of human behavior.
Graydon Carter
You lose manufacturing jobs, you rarely ever get them back again.
Graydon Carter
Stationery is addictive. I get mine made in Paris at Benetton, and writing on it gives me a strange thrill.
Graydon Carter
Where past generations had film cameras, scrapbooks, notebooks, and that part of the brain which stores memories, we now have a smartphone app for every conceivable recording need. The thing is, all that time you spend logging and then curating the quotidian aspects of your daily life is time taken away from actually doing things.

Take a random selection of photographs of America in 2012 and 2002 and 1992 and, except for the skinny jeans and the porkpie hats, you'll be hard-pressed to tell the years in which the pictures were taken.
Graydon Carter
I don't do any research. It's all about gut. Editing - it's always about gut.

Financial institutions like to call what they do trading. Let's be honest. It's not trading it's betting.
