When you have a lot of communication online before you go out with someone, it builds up a false sense of who the person is. There's a tendency to fill in the blanks with positive information.

Managers have to demand more of their HR departments, and they have to demand more of themselves. And we all have to be open to hiring people that don't look like us and that don't sound like us, and not find that threatening.

I always urge women to aim for the highest job they can get because you get more money and you get more support and you get more control, and those are the three things that actually make life easier.

I wish I could be as commanding as Meryl Streep.

People avoid the telephone because it's easier to text. Calls can be awkward - you interrupt each other; you can't quite hear someone. But the advantage is you get to hear someone else's voice. You find out whether or not you can have a fluid conversation or if it's stilted and peculiar.

I probably don't conform to most people's idea of a fashion editor.

Growing up, 'Cosmo' was my lifeline to the world. A world that I wanted to be in but couldn't get to yet.

Junk love are relationships in which you know you're not getting the emotional nutrition that you need. You're probably wasting emotional calories on people who aren't giving you enough back.

You can't back-engineer a brand.

It might be that you never want to get married, or it might be that you really, really do. Either is fine. What's not fine is not to be honest about what you want.

Snapchat is a really intimate medium.

In the same way you pick idly at chips, promising this is literally your last one, you may be in a relationship that you know isn't going anywhere, but you're hungry for love, and it feels less frightening than nothing.

When you have children is the most important choice affecting your life.

I am deeply unsentimental.

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.

I can't stress this enough: The single thing that will guarantee a happy, fulfilled, and calmer life is the quality of your human relationships, especially the people you love and who love you back.

I like to use exercise classes as a way of understanding what people are doing. I'm promiscuous in terms of exercise. You see what people are wearing. You see what people are responding to. You see what the music is they're listening to. An exercise class is social anthropology: what clothes people are wearing, what are the new sneakers.

Once I got to the U.S., and I realized we weren't going to go back to Britain, I was ready to commit to starting a bigger life here.

It is extremely frustrating if you are in your 20s and you want to embark on having a family and you're struggling to meet people.

I started at 'The Daily Telegraph' as a daily news reporter. I moved then to 'The Guardian,' and then I moved to New York as the correspondent for 'The Guardian,' moved to 'The Times of London.' And really, it was the best job you could imagine. You could cover any story you wanted in America.

You need a nutritional love diet. Don't put the junk stuff in your body - it's not going to do you any good.

You don't have to be in love all the time, but you need to be surrounded by people you have a genuine connection with.

What, for me, was exciting about America was just this extraordinary, complex, difficult, fascinating country, and Britain can feel very small. London, in particular, feels small because everything happens there, so you have publishing, politics, you have finance; everything in Britain happens in London.

I clean out the cat tray like everyone else.
