Hey, girls, you're beautiful. Don't look at those stupid magazines with sticklike models. Eat healthy and exercise.

A lot of kids get disappointed. They expect me to be, like, 'Bwaah.' 'If I spend a minute with them, they end up saying, 'Wow, you're a nice, normal guy.' They hate it when they catch me out of my makeup.

I don't know if I could [do a TV show]. I would if it had nothing to do with the comic. It would be really weird and maybe not feature any of The Umbrella Academy characters.

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.

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.

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.

All of my favourite albums have this incredible amount of conceptual glue to them, even if they are not telling a story.
