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.

Personal style is about a sense of yourself, a sense of what you believe in and wearing what you like.

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.

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!"

I don't think I'm the gift of the world - I just do what I do, and I love it and I've been lucky.

I am constantly drawing inspiration from everything I see-the places I travel, the people I know and the movies I see.

I'm a fan of people that have quality, that do what they do and that are not into the showbiz.
