Awkwardness gives me great comfort. I've never been cool, but I've felt cool. I've been in the cool place, but I wasn't really cool - I was trying to pass for hip or cool. It's the awkwardness that's nice.

More quotes by Marc Jacobs
I don’t throw cell phones. I don’t hurt people, I only hurt myself.
Marc Jacobs
I can remember years ago, when Kate Moss first came around and there were so many articles. Everyone was saying that it was heroin chic - that she was a waif, that she was anorexic. But Kate would eat just as much as anybody I knew - the media had just turned her into this thing. It must be really, really hard when you're the object of that.
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.
Marc Jacobs
For so many years, I felt so insecure, so inferior, and I still have those moments, but I have a newfound confidence since I got in shape and changed my diet.
Marc Jacobs
You can never please everyone, and I think it's best not to.
Marc Jacobs
I'm not good at hiding my feelings. I'm also not good at lying. I'm very open about everything.
Marc Jacobs
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.
Marc Jacobs
I don't know, but I always loved that image of a girl putting toenail polish on a guy - her boyfriend, or something like that. Or a guy waking up in the morning and reaching over and putting on his girlfriend's shirt. Like Keith Richards putting on one of Anita Pallenberg's blouses, or Courtney Love putting nail polish on Kurt Cobain.
Marc Jacobs
I think beauty is youth it's energy. I'm attracted to imperfection, style, confidence, and experimentation. So beauty, to me, is really a lot of things. It's kind of unexpected-what surprises you.
Marc Jacobs
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!
Marc Jacobs
I always say that I'm not the director, I'm part of the team.
Marc Jacobs
I am a perfect being in a perfect world.
Marc Jacobs
I don't love Photoshop I like imperfection. It doesn't mean ugly. I love a girl with a gap between her teeth, versus perfect white veneers. Perfection is just... boring. Perfect is what's natural or real that is beauty.
Marc Jacobs
I'm not a model, so the idea of modelling a suit or clothes is weird in itself.
Marc Jacobs
Grunge is a hippied romantic version of punk.
Marc Jacobs
Luxury is about pleasing yourself, not dressing for other people
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.
Marc Jacobs
It's quite nice to see that I didn't have to change who I was to reach two very different types of people.
Marc Jacobs
Sephora is a mecca for cosmetics, and it supports what I enjoy: You go into the store, and touch it, and try it, and love it. I've never bought anything on the Internet. I like experience.
Marc Jacobs
I still appreciate individuality. Style is much more interesting than fashion, really.
