“It is often my nature to be abstract, hidden in plain sight, or nowhere at all.” — Gerard Way

The more people that learn about you, even if you're an underdog, then you can come under fire a lot and the more attention you get and the more threatening or dangerous you appear to people. And the more people try to knock you down.

To me, nothing feels more like being dead than being in your 20s and having no direction in your life.

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.

To me, the coolest, shiniest, sexiest, darkest, scariest thing you can be is pop.
