For a long time religion made me feel guilty for being involved in music. Growing up, the religion I grew up in, the Church of Christ, encouraged a capella, but didn't allow musical instruments, so even though my parents allowed me to play trumpet in the band, and I was pretty good at it, it had this baggage.

I don't like religion very much. I think it's all about people trying to be very certain about things that are very uncertain.

Don’t worry about a style. It will creep up on you and eventually you will have to undo it in order to go further.

People like being alike, joining up, and being part of something.

It's fun to sit down and do a few drawings, but when you have to sit down and do hundreds of drawings whose value only depends on getting to the end of the chain, then you've created a different kind of monster.

Making art, I try to just gently persist, instead of having freak-outs where I'm like, Oh, my god, I'll never draw again. You are going to draw again, so you might as well relax.

I pray, but who I pray to I'm not exactly sure, especially when I'm praying for more money.
