I was working at the ‘New York Times,’ ruing every second of my life, thinking how was I ever going to get out of here, and thinking that one could only do it the way newspaper people have always done it.

I think one of the best jobs in the universe must be being the editor of ‘The New Yorker’, but there are a number of magazines that I’d be excited to be the editor of. They would be ‘Wired’, ‘The New Yorker’ and probably, ‘Vogue’. Michael Wolf Read Quote
I think there is a real value in an editorial point-of-view and in editorial curation, and in putting together an entire narrative around a set of topics is important. Michael Wolf Read Quote
