My dreams are my work. I design out of the things that I love.

I don't like the word ['classic']. It makes you think we didn't do any work.

We all have to fight to maintain our unique style and taste in a world that would have us conform.

I think I'm very fortunate to be born in America. And lucky to be able to have lived and had the opportunity to do what I want to do.

We're making a major move of the Internet, and runway. Polo.com is a natural extension of both polo.com and our collection business.

As a kid, I was always into clothes, but I didn't have the money to buy them. When I'd get my brothers' hand-me-downs, there was an energy in me that made me say, "I want to get my own things, to make my own statement." Somewhere along the line, that energy - coupled with my exposure, through movies, to a world I hadn't known - turned into something.

Love the fun of clothes, not the status of fashion.
