I live on this nice three acres in Hollywood.

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

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

I actually picked up copies of Decline I and II at a flea market once. I walked out without paying.

I feel that a documentarian has an obligation to tell the truth as he or she interprets it. And what I mean by that is that documentarians don't necessarily have the same sort of obligations that a journalist might have. A journalist might be called upon to be objective, whereas a documentarian is sort of forced to take sides.

Before you approach a production entity or even a potential producer, you should write up a treatment and register your show with the Writers Guild of America.

Now, it's almost impossible to go out and do a film about a new form of music.
