About a year ago, out of the blue, I just wrote a bunch of songs.

I don't think I've ever had a plan or direction for myself. I've actually made decisions based more on what I didn't want to do than what I wanted to do.

Well, whether it's on film or on TV, you don't want to throw too many curves at your audio and video guys.

Its just I fell into a bunch of movies that kind of fit in my life. It made sense to do them in the 80s. Folks who know me think its hilarious.

I pulled out of making movies in about '96 or '97.

I always find it flattering when somebody recognizes me.

I think that I recall the nostalgic '50s: the start of early television and rock-and-roll, and I think everything seemed to get very generic. Not much has changed.
