When you're a kid, you think you can jump out the window and be okay. But when you get older, you think, "Wait a minute - I can't fly!"

The clothes that I design and everything I've done is about life and how people live and how they want to live and how they dream they'll live. That's what I do.

I've never wanted to be in fashion. Because if you're in fashion, you're going to be out of fashion.

If I get to the point where I don't like my clothes, I'm in big trouble.

I didn't have a vision as in, This is where I'm going. I had a vision as in, "This is what I love to do."

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 was talking to Donna Karan at an event and she said, "You know, Ralph, I still don't feel rich."
