I try to talk about things I know about. But my characters are more of a combination of people or how I imagine people would feel.
From Art Alexakis
I have my dark side like anybody, you know, depression, anxiety... and I write about gritty, real-life stuff.
I'm a pretty tenacious person; I get that from my mom. So sometimes, I use dark humor. I can't take myself too seriously.
I don't talk about my past; people ask me about it. I've done things I'm ashamed of, but one thing I can honestly say is that things I've done that I regret, I've never done twice. I work really hard at that.
Maybe I'll work for a label someday, write some fiction, nonfiction. Someday I'd like to go back to school and get my teaching degree. I want to be a grandpa. I want to have more kids.
Any artist manages his own business along with his manager. Every band should.
Fatherhood, both times for me, was a choice.
That's what I think our jobs as parents are, to educate as much as possible... I tell them to follow their bliss. The people who follow their bliss in this world tend to be the more happier people.
My goal is to make my kids as happy as possible.
I wish I could come home to a life that looks like a TV show. I wish I could see my television family waiting for me, where no one fights and no one screams, no one lies and no one leaves.
