My wife Ricky is my muse. Her personal style and natural beauty have always been my inspiration.

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 like romance, I like glamour and I like realism. I think that's a great combination.

The best thing you can do is go away from this saying, 'I can do this too,' because it's all possible and I'm living proof.

I exercise at the gym with a trainer. I feel it's very healthy, very important - important for everybody. I feel it's good for you. It makes you feel better. It loosens you up a little bit.

When I create a collection, I approach it with a cinematic point of view-I am not designing clothes, I'm creating a world.

I went to my boss, and I said, 'Look, I'd like to design these ties because I think they could be new.' He said, 'The world isn't ready for Ralph Lauren.' I never forgot that because... I thought that was a compliment.
