I had a trial run with Norman Ross for 21 years, from ’61 to ’82. I didn’t have it in mind to open a chain like Harvey Norman. I opened one shop, but then the next thing you know, I’ve got another shop and then another shop.
My involvement in the Simpson criminal trial was a personal matter and did not involve Movie Tunes, its distributors or exhibitors.

Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change – this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.

When I came to the industry, I didn’t know how to meet people, how to tell them that I’m good enough and how to get my first break. It was trial and error for us.
