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

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

I love punk rock, but I also love metal.

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

If I could make a decent living doing documentaries, I would. I don't really care about [the other] stuff so much. But you can't make a living doing documentaries. Although it has affected my work, at least in that I think I make fairly realistic-looking pictures.

Arnold and Jamie Lee must have worked over the years with directors that did 50 takes, because I'd get like three takes or so and say, Ok, that's it, we're done.
