Artist

I love to draw and paint - that's what makes me happy.

I can draw and paint in many different styles, and use different mediums to create work.

When a picture is done, I'm not concerned with it anymore; I'm on to the next thing.

I don't like collaborating too much.

I want to do stuff that excites me and is enjoyable.

I'm always having ideas. I'd like to continue being able to realise the ideas I have.

It's not that I never do interviews or that I find them traumatic. It's just that I'm basically not that comfortable doing them.

I took a lot of influences from Studio Ghibli, which is the Japanese animation studio that made 'Spirited Away' and 'Castle in the Sky.' They're like the Japanese version of Disney - but without all the schmaltz.

I am in that position where I finish something, it goes out, and I'm onto the next thing. I finish it, it goes out, onto the next thing.

The more you draw, the better you get.

If you're going to pretend to be somebody you're not - which is the whole point of being a rock star - then why not just invent fake characters and have them do it all for you?

To be an artist is to doubt yourself and try harder.

Look at someone like Kanye West - ego is the death of a lot of art. To believe in yourself that much is to stop being an artist.

I have a problem with making eye contact with people, or with holding eye contact.

I love zombie films.

I'm all about doing things myself because I find it hard to trust other people. Not trust, but I know exactly what I want to do, and I know exactly how it's supposed to look.

My parents weren't very good at keeping things, which is why I treasure my own sons' work so much now - I don't want to lose anything.

I can't see anybody wanting to go to 'Tank Girl: The Musical!'

The art world's quite elitist. I tend to skirt around that world.

You can write and write, but if you don't have someone who can nail that character, it's never going to live.
