Marc Jacobs on Paris vs New York
"The one thing that's helped me to achieve some sort of balance is my life between New York and Paris, because Paris is a lot calmer and slower-moving than New York. I find myself at home at 8 o'clock for dinner, and I'll walk the dogs, and I'm in bed before midnight. When I have a few hours to myself in Paris, I feel like a success, and when I have a few hours to myself in New York, I feel like a failure, because in New York there's always dinners to go to, gallery openings to go to, movie premieres, parties—it's just so full-on."
Marc Jacobs on Sex and Fashion
"I don't think clothes are sexual; I think people are sexual. You can always tell somebody's sexy—whether they're wearing a big old baggy tracksuit or a skintight, low-cut dress. But everything affects me and what I do, whether I'm in a relationship or wanting to be in a relationship or obsessing over someone. Lately the shows we've been doing in New York have been these tableaus of my inner world—whatever's going on, whatever perversity. It's not manifesting itself in a low-cut, slinky floor-length gown with beads in it, but that's not to say it isn't informed by a lot of sexual tension."
Marc Jacobs on Blogs and his new Diet
"The culture we live in now is such a fishbowl that nothing passes without a snarky comment on the Web....You're going to get a bunch of blogs saying "He must be on meth in order to be that skinny compared to 10 months ago," but in fact I'm eating a totally organic diet, which has no flour, no sugar, no dairy, and no caffeine, and I lost weight because of that diet and because of a two and a half hour exercise regimen seven days a week."
