I think that there are many ways in which people look for heroes, messiahs, things like that in society. I think some people are looking for something that maybe they don't possess. To me, ultimately, you are looking for someone who understands you, or at least you think understands you. It all comes down to understanding for who we look to as heroes.

Every big adventure should feel like your last. Every attempt should feel like a final charge up the hill. Tomorrow doesn't exist.

Oh, and I heard a rumor that I died in a car accident. I didn’t.

I do enjoy manga but would not consider myself a 'super-fan,' only really connecting with certain works such as 'Lone Wolf and Cub,' or 'Tekkon Kinkreet,' the more breakthrough works, and 'Akira,' to me, is the daddy of them all.

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.

So how was Christmas for you guys? Did you all get lots of nice black t-shirts?

Those guys who want to have the Mohawk...which, to me, is the new business casual.
