As someone who worked for a magazine and knows how things are run editorially, I can tell you that, as the subject, you don't really have any say how a finished article is edited. You give your thoughts and quotes to the writer, but unless you're really famous/influential and it's part of some agreement, there's no way will an Editor would let you call the shots. That's the whole point of the free press. Otherwise it would be called advertising.
