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

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

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.

If you are looking for a producer, try to contact established producers. Don't let the fear of theft paralyze you, or you will never get anywhere with it.

I love punk rock, but I also love metal.

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