When I had my baby, it really freed my mind. No matter how well you do or how unsuccessful you are, there's still somebody who thinks you're the best in the world.
I don't sweat the little stuff anymore. The little worries, I just don't have time for them anymore.
You need to enjoy what you're doing in order to do something good. You can't force it.
I don't know what I did with time before I had a kid.
After I had a kid, I value every minute of time that I have alone and I don't take it for granted anymore.
Music has always been a visual thing to me, so writing and drawing the 'Skin&Earth' comics, which tie cohesively with the music, was an obvious move for me as an artist.
I wish, to be honest, that there were more myths about me. I wish I was more of a mythical person, and that then I'd have myths to dispel.
It just burns my heart that there's such a massive discrepancy in the number of male producers in the industry, versus female producers.
I've never been this massive artist, but I've always had this really wicked cool fanbase - people that really dive in, know every single B-side, and cosplay characters at our shows.
A word can change so much depending on how you say it, or how you sing it.
I would love to draw for 'Scarlet Witch,' it's a Marvel title.
