When I draw something, the incredibly annoying thing is that it doesn't come out like I pictured.
I say that I've never been late with a manuscript, but I don't mean to be arrogant; it's that I simply want to get it done as soon as possible so I can be set free.
I usually live an extremely normal life, since I live in the countryside. Even when people call me 'famous' and such, I can't really fathom it, even now.
After graduating from high school, I worked at an advertising agency as a designer. After I left, I spent a year doing nothing in particular. At age 23, I drew my first comic.
I have been pretty happy with how I look but if I have a hectic week with family or work life, that has got to be my priority and the gym takes a back seat. Then a couple of weeks turn into a couple of months and before you know it you feel like you've got the 'dad bod.'
Stuff used to get me really crazy, touring stuff. I used to hide. I hid from everybody. Back in '87, when things were so hectic, I'd run away. There was so much pressure.
A school morning is usually a pretty hectic time in any household.
I think being still and being silent and finding your own space is so important in this hectic world.
So, the idea of being a star on MTV and all that never really appealed to me. It makes life hectic.
