The '80s was a wild decade, and I had some fantastic times. And I did some really fun work.

After graduating in the summer of 1980, I knew I wanted my life to count.

When I look back at the 1980s I pinch myself. Did I really do all that?

I was a child of the '80s.

And about in the late '80s, I got kind of burned out a little bit.

I think I've made some pretty decent films in the '80s and '90s.

The '90s were a time of building for me. Building a life that was sober, drained of harmful, wasteful excess and manufacturing in its place a family of my own.

Anyway, in the mid 80's I was spending a fortune buying old Golden Age books from the late 30's and 40's and I was making personal appearances at a lot of sci fi and comic book conventions all around the country here so that I could find books for my collection.

I'm incredibly nostalgic for the '80s, because I think that's when Geek Culture really kicked in to high gear.

I just did what I found interesting. I was so lucky that I was able to do that, especially in the '90s. I was really able to have a life to go back to.
