Long before I had money, my passion for cars was there.

Older cars tend to drive like older cars. That is not for me.

I came from a communist country where there are no luxury cars.

I was raised by my grandmother on a farm, where we were really poor - we had dirt floors - but so did everybody else.

I don't think anybody ever started a great business because they wanted to make a little more cash. They had a dream. They wanted to better their life.

I don't do lighting design just to make money, ... I do this out of a love and a passion.
