I guess I didn't enjoy drawing very much. It was like homework.

Yeah, I was a child of American popular culture.

I always had a sketchbook with me when I was young. I was hiding behind it, basically, hiding behind drawing because I couldn't cope with people in real life; I was very shy and very nervous around people.

I'm into old-time music, I'm not very interested in modern, popular music at all. And if I'm really into some particular old-time musician, some fiddler or banjo player, I'm always dying of curiosity to see what they look like.

I use photos a lot for drawing people and personalities, but they're almost never photos that I've taken.

There's many heroic underappreciated investigative journalists.

When I listen to old music, that's one of the few times that I actually have a kind of love for humanity.
