The beauty of what Apple does at Apple is that they're not on trend; they are classic.

The notion that a contemporary woman must look mannish in order to be taken seriously as a seeker of power is frankly dismaying. This is America, not Saudi Arabia.

I don't really follow market research. In the end, I respond to my own instincts.

I'm horribly hands-on, I'm afraid. I like to read every caption.

If my style is too direct for some, maybe they should toughen up a bit.

I'd always been extremely fascinated by the French Nuit Blanche, which is a weekend that they have in Paris where they keep all the museums open until dawn. You can go and hang out in Versailles in the middle of the night and watch the sun come up.

Previous first ladies seemed to feel the need to wear a sort of uniform, whereas Michelle Obama likes fashion and is very comfortable in fashion. She's happy to mix high and low, and she loves emerging designers. That will do nothing but good for our industry.

Print publications have to be as luxurious an experience as possible. You have to feel it coming off the page. You have to see photographs and pieces that you couldn't possibly see anywhere else.

It would be a mistake to think something is wonderful just because it looks great.

Imperfection is fine.

Of course there were times, particularly when you travel, when it's very tough to leave the kids, particularly when they were very young. I would try to take them with me when I could just so they could experience and see a little bit of what a work day involved.

We're all used to hearing the word 'authentic' a little too often these days, but in Senator Gillibrand's case, it's entirely accurate.

Even if you aren't sure of yourself, pretend that you are... most people prevaricate.

We have to reflect the world that we live in.

I think it would be incredible for this country if we could have our first woman president.

I was brought up in a family of journalists, and a mother who was deeply committed to human rights, so I think that the mix of those two huge influences have been very, very important to me.

Trump's foundation has done nothing. Its board is packed with relatives, and he's going to use his presidency to sell himself and his brand and profit personally for himself and his family.

Things change. You walk on the street and get a Starbucks, and things have changed by the time you come back to the office.

To be in 'Vogue' has to mean something. It's an endorsement. It's a validation.

In the end I do respond to my own instincts. Sometimes they're successful, and obviously sometimes they're not. But you have to, I think, remain true to what you believe in.
