I originally had opened the studio in New York to combine my two loves, music and design.

As I realized, just like with many, many things in my life that I actually love, I adapt to it. And I get, over time, bored by them.
If my false figures came near to the facts, this happened merely by chance ... These comments are not worth printing.

The legacy of Ronald Reagan will live on forever. I, of course, had the wonderful opportunity of working with him and getting to know him personally. A more wonderful person you couldn't meet.
