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

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

The best dresses are like t-shirts - you just put them on and forget about them.

Without any kind of real ego on my part, I just thought, I'm going to approach the people I admire and see if they want to do something together.

I'm someone who came to Paris as a teenager, and I dreamed of coming back to Paris as a visitor. I never dreamed of having a job at the biggest luxury house in Paris and, you know, 15 odd years later, I'm still here.

It just seemed too weird to me. I don't know, maybe they were smoking a joint in the car downstairs from their parents' apartment. I had to go that far to put together a scenario of how they could have possibly recognized me.

For people that don't have any interest in the psychology of nuance, who need everything to be in their face, who don't want to analyze... those aren't the people I romanticize about dressing.
