“It's all possible and I'm living proof.”

“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.”

“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 was very influenced by movies I was very influenced by a world that had a sense of dream. ”

“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.”

“People ask how can a Jewish kid from the Bronx do preppy clothes? Does it have to do with class and money? It has to do with dreams.”

“I don't design clothes, I design dreams.”

“I love Ralph Lauren. As I travel so much, I prefer to shop online.”

“Simple. Pared down. Timeless. The ties were never too thick or too thin; the pants were never too flared or too skinny. In my life with Dad, he wore Western apparel because we went riding - jeans, cowboy boots, the turquoise belt buckle. But it was all very simple, and that classic look is very 'Ralph Lauren.'”
