Quotes
[on bankruptcy and the comeback] At the end of 1998 I was broke due to piracy. Then came the DVD, that broke the video stores. When it happened to me, I got really shaken because I lost everything, even my marriage. Two months later, I started all over again. I was humiliated and punished. Everybody thought I was crazy because I kept selling LPs during the peak of CDs. By the irony of fate, the vinyls are back all over the world.
