I try to find people who love and believe in what I do - and people I can respect because they do what I don't do. I've had to bring in financial people and put them in positions where they could tell me, "Ralph, let's not do that."

I'm interested in longevity, timelessness, style - not fashion.

I have a vision for living. It's about elements of style. It's about all the things that I love, that I believe in.

We're making a major move of the Internet, and runway. Polo.com is a natural extension of both polo.com and our collection business.

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."

Fashion is a function of lifestyle, and style a function of quality, integrity and timelessness.

For me, style is about quality, integrity and timelessness. It is free of trends but always feels fresh and new.
