The Jersey mentality is: I work, I drink, I stay up all night, I try to meet a girl, it's a waste of time.

When I did The Umbrella Academy, I studied Gabriel Bá's art. I said, "Oh, this is what he likes to do here. Maybe I can push him to do a little more of this." You can play to those strengths. It's a different scenario with each artist.

NOTHING is worth hurting yourself over. NOTHING is worth taking your life over, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!

In those perfect moments you find beauty you never knew existed. You find yourself and you friends all over again, you find something to fight for, something to love. Something to show the world.

It's interesting, there are a lot of similarities with being in the music business or being in a band, where a lot of it is business work you've gotta do, like emails. It's weird, I don't feel like I'm in charge.

I feel like I'm guiding the teams and we're all making this together. It feels more free-spirited and less structured, but we have our deadlines and that's important. We have an editorial team, but we're having fun. I get to guide them.

I learned to see beauty in everything and ugliness in everything. I developed a very honest perspective.
