| Marc Jacobs QUOTES / QUOTATIONS |
Barbara Weiser, who was one of the buyers, had seen the sweaters at my school show. She decided she wanted to produce a limited edition for the stores. And they were photographed all over.

I always find it kind of embarrassing, kind of funny, and kind of exciting. In New York I'm recognized a lot, although nobody says anything. You know, they stare at you just a second too long. But in Paris it's not as commonplace to be recognized.

I don't even know where to begin or end, how I feel about Courtney Love. I think she's just this larger-than-life thing.

I don't think, 'Gee, I'd like to dress this person.' There was a picture in Us magazine. It was a jersey dress, and Courtney Love was wearing it. I have this thing about Courtney Love, this funny worship.

I like spending time at home. In Paris, people drop by and have a bite to eat, or they drop by and watch Friends on TV. I take my dog to the office there, and I walk to work sometimes.

I love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world.

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.

I said, 'Okay, it's the year 2000, I'm getting a computer and a Palm Pilot.' I know how to check my e-mail, and I've listed some phone numbers on it. Half the time the battery has gone out so I can't use it.

I still think that I'm doing grunge collections, for lack of a better way to say it. But it's not perceived that way anymore.
Quotation of Marc Jacobs
|
I think of many people and no one as a muse. I love the way Sofia looks always, and I love the way Kim looks always. Fashion may be part of their world, but it's not their whole life. It's not everything.

I wouldn't know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it.
Quotation of Marc Jacobs
|
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.
Quotation of Marc Jacobs
|
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.

It's quite nice to see that I didn't have to change who I was to reach two very different types of people.
Quotation of Marc Jacobs
|
Sofia is so active, and she made The Virgin Suicides, which I thought was great - all these things are inspiring to me, not in terms of creating a particular dress, but just in terms of knowing that there is this type of woman out there.

Sometimes I miss hamburgers, I should say that. I miss the tuna pizzas at Mercer Kitchen.
Quotation of Marc Jacobs
|
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.'

Stephen can do anything! I was always intimidated by Stephen, because he was so quiet and he seemed very to-himself. But one thing plays off another.

That was a time when I did love music, I couldn't get enough of what was going on. Maybe it was Nirvana that brought me back. I guess it was a comfort because something that sounded so right - and non-commercial - had become so influential, so immediately.
Quotation of Marc Jacobs
|
There was this idea of the shoe-gazer, this person who couldn't look up, who's sort of insecure. And I've always felt like that, that I never fit in. But that's sort of empowering too.
Quotation of Marc Jacobs
|
This was before house music and trip hop and all that, so there was no druggie connotation. I didn't mean it that way. I always like very banal things, like stripes and spots. I like clich?s very much.

We asked Birkenstock to make satin Birks. We asked Converse to make duchesse satin sneakers.

|
We're developing things, but I don't know what we'll go with for the show, so I don't like to talk about it.
Quotation of Marc Jacobs
|
Well, later, with the whole logo thing going on, I thought, What can we do to say Louis Vuitton in an even bolder way that seems even more contemporary? How are we going to create this sort of anti-snobbism snobbism?
Quotation of Marc Jacobs
|
You don't do a double-take any more. Our eyes have become accustomed to it. I mean, a dowdy skirt is accepted as just a chic length now.
Quotation of Marc Jacobs

You don't have the same reaction to a girl walking around the street today in a nightgown and a vintage coat and sneakers, that you did six years ago.
