I'm very free-spirited.

My mum has always been quite free-spirited, and she has taught me a lot. I think that is probably why I have the sort of mind that I do.

I was raised by free-spirited people, though my father gave me a very strong work ethic.

In particular, people have trouble understanding where I stand in relation to my characters, and very often this gets reduced to me making vicious fun of them.

My sense of humor often gets me in trouble.

When I get bored, I get into trouble.

I'm free. I just do what I want, say what I want, say how I feel, and I don't try to hurt nobody. I just try to make sure that I don't compromise my art in any kind of way, and I think people respect that.

I really have to feel a sense of freedom in my storytelling.

You have to be able to tolerate what you don't necessarily like so you can be free.

For your own self-respect and sanity, your creative freedom, you have to be careful that you don't rely too much on other people's opinions of what you do because it can stunt and inhibit you.
