The decision in my case to become a stay-at-home dad, which people do all the time, I guess wouldn't have meant as much to people if I had had a very simple kind of make-a-living existence and decided I needed to spend more time at home.
The only type of music I don't like is Dixieland jazz. It's just a little too happy and noisy for me. I like intervals and spaces in my music. There's just something about Dixieland.
When we were producing the Great White North comedy album, my experience in radio told me I needed two singles in order to get enough airplay.
The actual process of filmmaking, the many hours out of your life- it is very slow and boring. I'm not interested in that now unless an opportunity was provided for me.
I don't limit my taste. There's some jazz that I like and there's some opera. I've been listening to what was essentially country music, but it crossed over to rock.
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.
And I discovered after a couple years that I really didn't miss making movies.
About a year ago, out of the blue, I just wrote a bunch of songs.
A few years ago, I decided I wanted to be home with my family.
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.
Well, whether it's on film or on TV, you don't want to throw too many curves at your audio and video guys.
Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.
