Love Quote by Isaac Mizrahi

"I'd love to talk to Angelina Jolie. On my show I would love her because she's a mysterious, mysterious figure"

About this Quote

Celebrity works best when it’s a blank screen, and Isaac Mizrahi is basically admitting he wants Angelina Jolie precisely because she’s hard to read. The repetition - “mysterious, mysterious” - isn’t just emphasis; it’s the little verbal flutter of someone circling an aura, trying to keep it intact while also pulling it into the bright, flattening light of a talk show.

Mizrahi’s intent is twofold: book a dream guest and signal his own taste level. Jolie isn’t just famous; she’s curated fame. By calling her a “figure,” he nudges her from personhood into iconography - a silhouette the culture recognizes even when the details change. That word also gives him cover: you’re not prying into a private individual, you’re engaging a public artwork.

The subtext is where it gets interesting. “On my show I would love her” reads like friendliness, but it’s also a promise of soft handling: come here and you’ll be protected, admired, made legible without being reduced. It’s the classic talk-show bargain - intimacy without consequence - and Mizrahi is marketing himself as the rare host who can approach an untouchable celebrity without puncturing the myth.

Contextually, this sits in the 2000s-2010s Jolie era: humanitarian headlines, tabloid mythology, controlled access. Mizrahi, a designer steeped in image-making, recognizes that her power is the negative space. He doesn’t want scandal; he wants the glow. The “mystery” is the product, and he’s pitching a setting where it can be displayed without being solved.
