Marc Jacobs Quotes

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 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 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.
