- On running your own conventions
- (12-06 Buffy Magazine) I'm not cutting out participation in conventions [run by other people] at all, but why would I also want to produce on top of that? My manager and I started [producing] events together when [the live act] was a rock band, and later on, when I was a single act, we did musical events together and that morphed into a play [the two-actor version of Macbeth]. With the convention, we're just going to do it again. Frankly, I make more money [on self-produced events. If I'm going to be honest about it, the risk is more mine. If nobody showed up, I'd still have to pay for the venue and I'd be out of a lot of money. The reason that the people who run conventions get most of the money is, they take the risk in those situations. If I was just an actor, it would seem like, 'Well, this [producing/appearing at a convention] isn't really acting. I remember when I wrote the Spike comic book - I did that because I thought I would have control, not realizing that I'd actually have almost no control at all. But then I also got into music, because I realized that I could produce - I didn't have the money nor could I raise the money for film, but I had the money to produce audio.
