Some days I have a knot in my stomach because I've got to sit down and come up with something in womenswear that no one else came up with.

I believe one can live many lives through personal style. Every day is an occasion to reinvent yourself

I try to find people who love and believe in what I do - and people I can respect because they do what I don't do. I've had to bring in financial people and put them in positions where they could tell me, "Ralph, let's not do that."

I have had a lot of good things happen, but I've also had a lot of terrible things happen.

Some women think that if the look this season is minis, they have to wear minis. If you don't have great legs, there are plenty of alternatives.

I can drive a certain car one day with great pleasure, and the next day I'll be disappointed that the experience isn't as good as the day before. These cars have moods that change with the weather, or with the driver's own moods.

Fashion is a function of lifestyle, and style a function of quality, integrity and timelessness.
