I like to think about society as being a flock of birds: There seems to be a common consciousness in different time periods, and the new common consciousness reacts to the old standards.

The first Decline I did was out of sheer love and appreciation for the music. In 1977, it was more about bands, because punk was a new form of music. It was groundbreaking and political.

I can't believe I actually was in my own movie.

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.

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.
