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

I don't see myself as being as big of an influence as other people seem to think.

The red carpet doesn't interest me. I think people become all the same; it's like everyone posing from the three-quarter angle in some low-cut, fitted dress; it's all the same.

I envy the people who go to Paris the first time

Luxury is about pleasing yourself, not dressing for other people

What's worked for me is not quitting and being passionate about what I do and not giving up - and when I don't believe in myself, turning to others who believe in me.

Life is a fashion show, the world is your runway.
