There was a big age difference between me and my brothers - about 10 years - so I was an only child for a long time. I used to hang out a lot on my own. I played a lot of weird games with a lot of imaginary people. I guess it's kind of roleplaying.

When you're a kid and someone's an artist, you think of Leonardo da Vinci. You don't think that's a job; you just think of a man with a beard painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

I could get an audience into my world and if you can do that, they'll go with you not all the way, but a lot of the way.

I'd like to punch out a really old lady. There'd be no repercussions.

I don't really like jokes in a way. I mean gags are fine but I like weird moments where what you have isn't really a joke, just tiny moments.

Never try and go on a solo mission on your own.

You know the black bits in bananas? Are they tarantulas' eggs?
