Having success at an early age gave me more of a sense of what's important in life rather than always driving to make it.
Ralph LaurenI'm a fan of people that have quality, that do what they do and that are not into the showbiz.
Ralph LaurenPersonal style is about taking a risk, trying something unexpected, and having fun with fashion, but always being true to yourself.
Ralph LaurenWhat's interesting about fashion is it's a world, and I think that's what I've done - I've made a contribution and I think I've built a world. The world is beyond just clothes. Taste and style is beyond clothes. It's in food; it's in quality.
Ralph LaurenI never had a preconceived plan. When you go to a movie and watch someone in the role of his or her life, or when the chairman of the board comes into the room wearing a cool look, it remains in your mind. I love Cary Grant because I like the roles he played. I said, "I want to be that guy." I want to be funny, suave, and a good athlete. I don't have to do a focus group to know what people want. I feel it.
