HIS OWN WORDS:

"I grew up happy and peaceful surrounded by communists!"

"If I would be a girl, I would masturbate a lot. Because girls have pretty bodies and I would like to know that pretty body."

"I know that the most of the producers in western europe are homosexual. In France all of them are. They probably fancied us and that is why they are now telling those stories about us." (On the question wether or not O-Zone are gay.)

"I don't belive in luck. Everything you do in life, you have to pay for in the end. If you do something good, you get something good out of it. If you do something bad, well..."

"I hate the way she moves and how she sings." (On Paula Mitrache/Haiducii)

"I like sweet innocent girls."
