Sephora's business is really smart and clever - I'm all for anything that gets people up and out and into the social experience of shopping.

Fashion isn't a necessity. It pulls at your heart. It's a whim. You don't need it. You want it.

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.

It's sometimes said that I'm rebellious and I do things to push people's buttons, but I just like the challenge.

I'd like to believe that the women who wear my clothes are not dressing for other people, that they're wearing what they like and what suits them. It's not a status thing.

A sellout is putting your name on any piece of crap and then expecting people to buy it because it's got your name on it. That's what a sellout is to me.

I am Marc Jacobs by birth, but we are Marc Jacobs by the company that we built.
