<blockquote>{{Quote|I | <blockquote>{{Quote|I was in a very bad place in my life at that time and I had a lot of very serious decisions to make about my future. By the time I had taken my computer to PC World, I then had other allegations come in so the lawyers' fees and the lawyers' bills were tremendous. And I also missed my girlfriend who lived in Cuba. I couldn't get her out of Cuba. I still can't get her out of Cuba. I was drinking heavily, I was doing drugs, and the other thing of course is that I had to find this money to pay for the legal costs and studio, and I was asked by my management to seriously do the one thing which was absolutely terrible - which was to sell my songs to Universal Pictures, and I regret it. I was just in a bad place. I went to prison, I came out. I was remorseful and I am remorseful. I am so sorry. It changed my life forever. I lost my honor, I lost my family. It has to stop, all this internet pornography of children. It has to stop, no doubt about, no doubt about. I was abused as a child so maybe I was trying to work my own feelings out. Today it would not happen, I have no interest in looking at that awful porn now. Absolutely no interest at all, it has destroyed my life, it has destroyed my family's life and it has most likely destroyed all those poor victims' lives - I have total empathy for those poor children.|Gary admitting his actions|}}</blockquote> | ||
