I used to buy good shoes, now I buy good bags. They make me feel more confident.

Makeup is the finishing touch, the final accessory.

I remember walking the dog one day, I saw a car full of teenage girls, and one of them rolled down the window and yelled, 'Marc Jacobs!' in a French accent.

To me, clothing is a form of self-expression - there are hints about who you are in what you wear.

I like to take on the thing I don't like at the moment. I like to find something that looks wrong or feels off, something that I would never have done in the past, like brocade. And then all of a sudden, if we can make brocade work, then we've really done something, because I hate it. And that's just a reference. I don't actually hate brocade.

Basically, I'm in a kilt and a white shirt every day. So, you know, I don't have a lot of scope, and I'm really picky about what I wear. Even if it's weird, it's very particular to me. And you can't make a business out of what I would wear. We'd be out of business.

I always say I lived my life with my grandmother. She was emotionally stable, and she was very encouraging to me.
