I love watching 'Twilight Zone.' New Year's Eve they do the marathon; I watch it every year.
My Sims family is called the Cholly family. I don't know why I picked that name; it's kind of random.
My music is - I don't want to say my main focus, but it's what comes most naturally to me.
Comics are my first love, and I hate seeing an art form that I love suffer.
It is not a band. It is an idea.
A lot of the other things in my life like making music, you know that's a very collaborative thing so I work on comics because it's not something that's a solo activity.
For Cave Carson, I have a co-writer, so that takes off a lot of the pressure.
I have schedules that separate everything.
I knew that I always wanted to keep making music, but I knew that comics needed to be a part of my life.
Now I have notebooks that are filled up, mostly with Doom Patrol, but also angry letters to myself mixed in with the comic.
I feel like I'm guiding the teams and we're all making this together. It feels more free-spirited and less structured, but we have our deadlines and that's important. We have an editorial team, but we're having fun. I get to guide them.
It's cool if people want to make movies of stuff, but I'm really interested in the comics.
Thinking visually is my starting point, and then the writing happens.
I'm a visual thinker, so I think of everything visually, first. A lot of what an issue will become for me starts with me thinking, "What's a great cover?," or "What's the splash image?," or "What is the title of the issue? How do I see the text?" I think about all of that stuff, and then the story comes out of that imagery.
I start my process hand written, and then I dump it in. It's like you're getting a second draft 'cause when I put it in the computer, I fix it and change stuff. That's my process. I picked that up from speaking to Neil Gaiman and Joe Hill. I was messing around with the idea of starting to write more, writing a book and doing things like this, and I reached out for advice. They were like, "Oh, we hand write, and then we dump it all in." I was like, "Great! There's no more blank pages."
I think everybody's book is about somebody's daughter, in a lot of ways. I dig that.
There's Doom Patrol, which is the world's strangest superheroes, and they're making their return.
Jody Houser, who writes Mother Panic, has this noir-ish superhero style. She's very adaptable.
Those guys who want to have the Mohawk...which, to me, is the new business casual.
When you go, would you ever turn to say, "I don't love you like I did yesterday.
I don't know if commerce can every truly be information. I think that's just commerce, that's just selling you something.
I think that a lot of journalists don't really listen to music before they review it.
I do enjoy manga but would not consider myself a 'super-fan,' only really connecting with certain works such as 'Lone Wolf and Cub,' or 'Tekkon Kinkreet,' the more breakthrough works, and 'Akira,' to me, is the daddy of them all.
I have so many books to write now. So I'll write from home. Sometimes I'm writing in the office too, in my cubicle. It looks like a mess. It doesn't look like anybody uses the spot.
Two weeks after having Bandit I was in a recording studio. I hadnt yet really fully understood what being a dad was and, man, I was exhausted. But she is 17 months now. Shes running, shes been running for a long time. Shes inspired me a great deal for the record. She even goes Wow Daddy! when I play to her.
