Luxury is about pleasing yourself, not dressing for other people

I have no problem going on record with this and probably have gone on record with this before, there aren't that many people who I respect. There just aren't.

Sometimes there are two very opposite directions, and we go with the stronger one at the end. It's an impulse thing, like, 'Oh, I love both so much, but it's got to be one or the other because the two don't work together.'

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

I go through phases where I buy only Speed Stick and Axe, and Noxzema shaving cream.

I can remember years ago, when Kate Moss first came around and there were so many articles. Everyone was saying that it was heroin chic - that she was a waif, that she was anorexic. But Kate would eat just as much as anybody I knew - the media had just turned her into this thing. It must be really, really hard when you're the object of that.

Even mistakes can get you one step further.
