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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
With beauty, I think one never finishes it. I'm always exploring. I like the concept of change.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
My favorite meal would be a big piece of steak with salad and then Brussels sprouts and Jerusalem artichokes.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
If you're in journalism, the U.S. - and New York City in particular - is an exciting place to work.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
I look at my time on this earth as social anthropology, at home and in work life.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
As long as you're interested in people and things, that curiosity propels you forward.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
If you keep dating and keep out there, you keep a higher level of hope, and also, your skills at doing it improve because you're doing it more often, and you are bringing less anxiety to the table.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
Having diverse leadership means there are more voices in the room, and there are more different points of entry for people who are being bullied or abused at work. There are more points of entry for them to complain to.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
It was quite jarring to go from newspapers to magazines, and the reason I did it was because I had my second son, and with my second child, I just thought, 'I can't travel at will,' which you really need to be able to do. And so I had a sort of slow realization that I could no longer do the job that I loved.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
I grew up in Yorkshire, which is like the Texas of Britain. It's a proud free state and not always liked by the other counties in Britain.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
The thing that I always try and say to young people starting out is your peer group is really the most important influence on your life because you are going to rise and fall together.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
Every time I've been offered a new job, I've automatically said, 'Oh, I don't think you want me for that job.' It's sort of a weird female - or, at least, it is in me - a weird female defense, when, in fact, what you want to do is scream, 'Hooray, I want to do this!'
Quote by -Joanna Coles
I think the single most important thing for a job interview is leave the phone in your bag and do not look at it for 20 minutes.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
Feminism means, basically, are you in favor of equal opportunities for men and women? It's hard to argue with that.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
I have no problem understanding that women are interested in mascara and the Middle East.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
One of the things 'Cosmo' feels really strongly about is we need more women candidates running, and we need more women across the parties in D.C.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
People don't really talk about falling in love anymore. And yet falling in love is the great engine that drives all the best art - or falling out of love or being heartbroken - drives all the best books, drives all the best music, and yet we've sort of stopped talking about it.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
We have a generation of women who think that they can just have IVF, and everything will be fine. The odds are against you once you start having IVF, and the odds are against you over the age of 35. And to pretend that it's easy to have a baby in your 40s or 50s is - it's just selling women a false dream.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
The treadmill won't run on its own; you have to put some work into this. If you're going to lose weight, you have to apply yourself.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
There's nothing more mainstream than equal pay for equal work. I mean, it's completely obvious that's what feminism should be for, and for women's right to choose what happens to their own bodies.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
I remember once when I was working on a magazine, and one of the male editors was going on a field trip with one of his sons. The office was full of, 'He's such a good dad,' whereas I came in late from a doctor's appointment for one of my children and was asked, 'Where were you? You'll need to make up the time.'
Quote by -Joanna Coles
What magazines do is curate: we give accurate and trustworthy information. If you have a problem, it's very difficult to go to the web and get accurate information... magazines, at their best, should be an incredible voyage of discovery.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
On paper, swearing takes on a different attitude. It can make you sound very angry when you use it a lot.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
When I was growing up, Sunday lunch was my favorite time as a child. We would have a big Sunday English meal, and we would argue about things.
