Big studio comedies are such a headache.

I was always into music. I think everyone is when they're a teenager, as a way to drown out the world.

Those movies, Decline I and II and Suburbia, are dearly loved, but they never made any money. I didn't even have the rights for some of them.

This generation has given up on growth. They're just hoping for survival.

Many people have been able to get pitch meetings by just cold calling, especially the smaller networks and especially with the reality shows.

Decline III, I funded myself, from the studio money. That, and I sold a lot of drugs. Kidding. Don't print that.

Nobody wanted to touch Decline III when they found out what it was about.
