Watching my dad, Ralph Lauren, design clothes when I was young, I was always inspired.

Candy is childhood, the best and bright moments you wish could have lasted forever.

When I think of flavours, I think colour, so lemon should be yellow and orange is orange.

My parents screened 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' for my 6th birthday, and I became fascinated by the idea of living in a candy land with chocolate rivers and lollipop trees.

I find that the people who don't eat as much candy are really into heavy protein, like steak. I don't eat that.

I know everything about candy. Would you believe I even know where to find gumballs in the middle of Africa?

I believe dancing is the best stress reliever.

My parents always told me, 'Do what you love because that is what you will do well in.' They told me to make sure that you are happy.

If these rich women from 5th Avenue spend a fortune on cashmere sweaters, they will come to my store to buy gummy bears.

My favorite place in the world is my dad's house in Montauk.

My husband is the cook at our house. I can make dessert and salad, but I stay away from meals. He makes amazing omelets, fish, and grilled vegetables like Brussels sprouts and cauliflower.

Investing time in adding value to yourself is the best way to invest time

You've got a lot of choices. If getting out of bed in the morning is a chore and you're not smiling on a regular basis, try another choice.

I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.

No one will protect what they don't care about, and no one will care about what they have never experienced.

There may be a time when we'll attend Weather Theaters to recall the sensation of rain.

Gold that buys health can never be ill spent, Nor hours laid out in harmless merriment.

By 78 you've done everything you're going to do. If you haven't bungee-jumped by the time you're 78 you're not going to do it.

Anger - use it, but don't lose it!

I don't try to control my days.

Surprise and differentiation have far more impact than noise does.
