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

We all get report cards in many different ways, but the real excitement of what you're doing is in the doing of it. It's not what you're gonna get in the end - it's not the final curtain - it's really in the doing it, and loving what you're doing.

I have always done what I love myself. My philosophy was that I never had focus groups. I did what I wear.

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

They know they're going to look beautiful, and I don't think women should look like costumes. They shouldn't look like fashion victims.

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

I went through the extremes of amazing notoriety and also the dreaded things that you never thought you'd have to live through. Not everything works the way you want it to, but if I sit back and think, 'Am I happy about this?' Yeah. I wouldn't have done anything any better.
