“[How did it all start?] Well, primarily, it boils down to soap. We started with soap. My mother and I started the soap store. I did leather in the back and we had my brother's ceramics. It became kind of a pop culture emporium, you know. I call it a pop culture gift shop on steroids and it's got besides gifts and things, it does have a major amount of books, it has the art gallery. So, you know, it's really developed over the years from just having soap to having a little bit of everything, and I like to think of it as my interpretation of the best of each genre, so to speak.”

“[In 1981] I was thrilled. I was working in radio in New York at the number one rock station in New York. I moved up here to New York to take that gig. And within six months, I was so bored and so disgusted. I was looking for any way to get out. And luckily, this friend of mine from Philly Radio where I'm from, where I worked before, called and said, hey, there's this company. I don't know, they're doing something like a 24-hour video channel or something. Maybe you wanna check them out. And the rest is rock history.”
