CNN's Alina Cho sat down with Marc Jacobs for a rare interview, where he talks (or doesn't really) about possibly going to Dior, what kind of skirts he likes best, and how he's usually a very nervous man. If you don't have about five-and-a-half minutes worth of patience to sit through Cho's narrative, we've gone ahead and pulled out some of the quotes, and put them with the video, after the jump.

On going to Dior—or not:
Yea, it would be an honor. I mean, there's no question that the two great couture houses in Paris are Chanel and Dior. I think it would be a very hard thing to turn down.

On the weather, Amy Winehouse:
I instinctively react to things that stimulate me. I mean, it could be anything, things that have affected me in the past couple of months. The weather's affected me. The death of Amy Winehouse, and moving into my new place.

On his favorite skirts:
I like wearing skirts, I like wearing kilts. I started like a few years ago. I moved from kilts into pencil skirts. I wear now mostly Prada pencil skirts. I like to do the things that make me feel good, and that make me feel happy, that don't hurt other people.

On being real nervous:
I'm always nervous. I'm a total nervous wreck all of the time, or most of the time. I'm very, you know... I'm always questioning my choices, and I'm always re-looking at things. But I don't think there's anything wrong with it, I don't think that that's a negative thing.
