As long as you're interested in people and things, that curiosity propels you forward.
I look at my time on this earth as social anthropology, at home and in work life.
You're only worth as much to one employer as you are to another.
I think probably the moments of failure have been when I didn't really understand that other people were around to actually help me. There were moments when I thought I had to solve everything on my own, and I didn't realize that I had resources.
At the age of 10, I had my first piece published in what was known as the 'Junior Post,' which was part of the 'Yorkshire Post,' and it was just for kids. I read it every week. And I got paid for it. So I thought... 'I can actually do this. I can get paid to write, and this is going to be fine.' I wrote several pieces for them.
I don't really have an average day, and that works for me. If I knew what I had to do ahead of time, I would be so depressed. I love the unexpected. I love change. I love things being thrown at me.
Make a list of all the people in your life, and rate them in terms of energy in, energy out. Is there anyone in your life right now who is blocking your love quest?
If you're in journalism, the U.S. - and New York City in particular - is an exciting place to work.
The biggest stress for me at New York Magazine was when I was a middle-of-the-pack editor, and I had no control over my own schedule.
As the editor of 'Cosmopolitan,' I talk to hundreds of young women about the sometimes bewilderingly rapid changes taking place in our romantic lives and the role new technology plays in our search for intimacy and commitment.
My favorite meal would be a big piece of steak with salad and then Brussels sprouts and Jerusalem artichokes.
Up until the age of 13, girls are confident, and they feel like they can conquer the world. Then adolescence sets in, and girls lose their confidence. And 'Seventeen' is really about them taking an hour out of their month, unplugging, lying on their bed, and reading a magazine that believes in them.
With beauty, I think one never finishes it. I'm always exploring. I like the concept of change.
I have green eyes, which are actually quite difficult to find makeup for.
It's a great thing to be underestimated because it puts off your rival or enemy - they're not on their full game if they underestimate you.
I love to be underestimated.
With experience, you suddenly realise you know how to do things or that you've done something like this before. And I think as you get more confident, you can sit back and try and weigh up the options of doing something or not doing something.
Sometimes the hardest decision is to say no to something, and I think when you're less confident or when you're younger, you say yes to everything, and as you get older, you realise you don't need to.
It's really important to be surrounded by people who are going to lift you up.
