When I was growing up as a child, a magazine, to me, was like a finger beckoning me to the future.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
The transition of a desk job, having to be in the office at the same time every day, I found super hard.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
You need a nutritional love diet. Don't put the junk stuff in your body - it's not going to do you any good.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
Growing up, 'Cosmo' was my lifeline to the world. A world that I wanted to be in but couldn't get to yet.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
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.
Quote by -Joanna Coles
It's very easy to imagine someone online in a positive way, but it's only when you sit down, with all five senses in play, that you can really tell, 'Do I find this person attractive?'
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
