“I loved Cary Grant. I got to know him and Audrey Hepburn. Here were these people…” — Ralph Lauren

I try to make things that are fresh and different, even if they are inspired by classic things.

When you don't do something anymore, all of a sudden everyone treasures it.

My symbol was always a polo player because I liked sports, and polo has a stylishness to it.

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