I always had a sense of people and would talk with them. I talk to my doorman. I talk to everybody I work with. I enjoy it. I like being part of a real life. I love dreams. I love glamour. I love being invited to great places. But I don't really care if I go, as long as I'm invited. I get invited to so many things, but I'd rather go have a hamburger or see a movie.

As I started to buy cars, I didn't know that I was building a collection. I just wanted the cars I was dreaming about. Once you drive a good one, it is like having a fever.

What I feel best about is that while I enjoy what I have and don't want to lose it, I also don't need it.

I am not looking like Armani today and somebody else tomorrow. I look like Ralph Lauren. And my goal is to constantly move in fashion and move in style without giving up what I am.

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've always admired a woman who can dress for all occasions-someo ne who's not fashion crazy,but you always want to look like her.

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