Marc Jacobs People Quotations

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.

Before we opened, we did some research on the North Shore and we found that people wanted both Italian and seafood. Those are the two things we heard the most, and we thought, let's give 'em both.

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.

We live in a world where people are really hungry for information, and they're not hungry for information on subjects that they're not interested in.

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.

Part of the talent of any company is to surround yourself with people who have good spirit and help you do more and more things.

I guess when I look over my shoulder at other designers, I feel like people are so definitive. It's so clear to me what their aesthetic is, what they're projecting. And I look at my own work and I think, Who could ever decipher what the hell is going on?

I think when I started to get in shape and spend time at the gym, I could be better to other people and be better to myself and get back to loving fashion and experience it myself. I started to wear kilts and lace dresses.

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

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.

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.

I envy the people who go to Paris the first time

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.

There is a small world of people who are very interested in contemporary art and a slightly bigger world of people who look at contemporary art. But then there is a much larger world that doesn't realise how influential art is on things that they actually look at.

My grandmother was amazing. She completely believed in me and was very encouraging. She would go to the supermarket or the butcher or wherever and tell people, 'My grandson is going to be the next Calvin Klein.'

Fashion is such a fairytale and it is such a fantasy. And it's about metamorphosis and sort of changing yourself and playing a part that you want people to see.

Fashion is just something money can buy. People who are stylish are free and have no fear in staying true to themselves. Plus, style is infinitely more interesting.

I mean, I'd love to have a private jet - I know people who fly by private jet all the time... I've hitched a ride a few times and it is not overrated at all; it's a great way to travel!

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

Luxury is about pleasing yourself, not dressing for other people

One thing that is exciting about fashion is the surprise element. People don't know what they want. They just know when they see it.

Change is a great and horrible thing, and people love it or hate it at the same time. Without change, however, you just don't move.
