In the new book Winners and How They Succeed, Anna Wintour spoke to author Alastair Campbell about her life. Page Six excerpts her quotes as follows:
"Even if you aren't sure of yourself, pretend your are..most people prevaricate. I decide fast. I think it's helpful to the people who work for you."
"Everyone should get sacked at least once. It forces you to look at yourself...It is important to have setbacks, because that is the reality of life. Perfection doesn't exist."
"I don't have a high-powered life out of work. I like to go to the country for the weekend with the kids and the dog and play tennis. I am very good at turning off."
"I can't make anything. I don't know how to make a dress. I couldn't go on a shoot and create an image. I can't write a script. I have so much admiration for people who can do these things, because I would have no idea where to start. I am always responding to other people's talents. I am not the talent...I don't write, I am not a writer. I see myself as someone who responds to the times and the culture, to a moment. Is that a journalist? I don't know."
Anna Wintour, 65, also starts every morning at 5am.
