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

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

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.

I really feel kind of guilty spending 80 million dollars. People are starving in the world.
