Black is not as good as Purple.
Books open windows to the world and have the power to transform lives.
Love the fun of clothes, not the status of fashion.
All the kinds of things ... contrary to what the look is. I could do a high heel with a jumpsuit, or I might do a gown with a desert boot. So it's, again, the contradiction.

I am not looking like Armani today and somebody else tomorrow. I look like Ralph Lauren. And my goal is to constantly move in fashion and move in style without giving up what I am.
There is a way of living that has a certain grace and beauty. It is not a constant race for what is next, rather, an appreciation of that which has come before. There is a depth and quality of experience that is lived and felt, a recognition of what is truly meaningful. These are the feelings I would like my work to inspire. This is the quality of life that I believe in.
Success isn't based on 'look what I can do!' but more on an inner sense of self and believing you have something to say in your own consistent way. And I think we all have to fight to maintain our unique style and taste in a world that would have us conform.
Every time I design clothes, I'm making a movie.
I'm a fan of people that have quality, that do what they do and that are not into the showbiz.
I’ve always been about style for people, not ‘You’re going to wear this outfit,’... It was the way you put yourself together and the imagination, not buying this number off the rack, but the way you wear it
Cars are like children: It's hard to say that any one is more special than the other. There are little things about each car that you come to love, whether it's the look, the steering wheel, the way it drives, or even the way it drives differently when you put the top up. They all have identities; they have spirits and characteristics that are truly endearing in some way.
People ask how can a Jewish kid from the Bronx do preppy clothes? Does it have to do with class and money? It has to do with dreams.
I have always loved things that are timeless and get better with age.
