It's okay to love something a little too much,as long as it's real to you.

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.

Though we feel extremely connected through all this technology [social networks], there's also this disconnect that happens. Because you're not actually talking to anyone. You're not actually meeting them for coffee. To me, social media is about "you". It's like, "Well, twenty people like this thing I said", so that's about me.

Well, I'm half Italian, so last year on Warped Tour I got this really good tan and I was like, bummer.

It is often my nature to be abstract, hidden in plain sight, or nowhere at all.

Just draw 'cause you love it, you know, I think that's why you should be doing it. You should always be doing art for the right reasons, um, and with the best intentions. Anything at all is completely possible and I think that's what I like about drawing. I think it's just really fun. You can do anything you want. And that's part of, like, what's really enjoyable about it... is kind of losing yourself in it.

When youre touring and the minute you tell someone that youre from Jersey its the equivalent of telling them you just got out of jail.
