The only thing I learnt in high school is that people are very violent and territorial.
Comics are my first love, and I hate seeing an art form that I love suffer.
It's like the drag fairy coming and saying 'What would you like to do?' Um, yeah karate.
My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die.
I think there needs to be people that are doing something different in music. There's a need for that as much as there's a need for a scene.
If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see, you can find out first hand what it's like to be me.
Human nature at times is unfortunately very ugly and I learned the world can be a very ugly place. For as much beauty there is, there's just as much brutality and violence and ugliness.
I got sunburnt which is obviously a drag for me because in theory the sun is supposed to kill me.
It'd be cool to be a vampire. Vampires are the best beast you can ever be. Call me egotistical, but I love the whole idea of immortality.
It's important to keep up momentum, when I'm home alone I get stagnant, I go crazy and have to see my therapist. Being on the road keeps me busy. I'm okay when I'm busy.
I'm a big fan of domino masks, like Zorro, or Robin. You could put a domino mask on anything, and it becomes a superhero. You put a domino mask on a milkman, and he becomes, like, Super Milkman.
If you don't go to highschool you will definately go to jail.
I went to art school, and that's how I got the internship, and then I started a band. But I always missed comics, I always wanted to do them.
I would like to continue to make art by being able to do what I love and have that make it possible for me to support my family. I'd like to make people happy, show people a good time, and hopefully inspire some people.
