When friends enter a home, they sense its personality and character, the family's style of living - these elements make a house come alive with a sense of identity, a sense of energy, enthusiasm, and warmth , declaring: "This is how we are; this is how we live."

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

I believe one can live many lives through personal style. Every day is an occasion to reinvent yourself

Glamour is an attitude-it's the expression of a certain kind of confidence. A glamorous woman is always elegant, but she also possesses an air of mystery and excitement. She's dramatic-almost untouchable.

Style is very personal. It has nothing to do with fashion. Fashion is over quickly. Style is forever.

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."

Fashion is transient, trends come and go. I believe in style, not fashion.
