I like to say I believe in ghosts so I don't get haunted by one.
I lived in Paris for four years, so I am obsessed with pastries. Croissants, pain au chocolat, cakes, macarons, all of that!
I want to be open to the kids who only speak Spanish, the kids who speak only Spanglish, and the kids who don't even speak Spanish at all.
It's really easy with makeup to look like you're trying too hard, like a clown. That's not what you want!

My father was a very disciplined singer who worked hard at his craft, and I was around that growing up.
I prepared five songs, I sang them, and he hired me. I started working about a month later at the piano bar.
I do get the sense sometimes that if I draw things too nice, maybe I won't be indie-rock enough anymore.
I really like the look of old '70s and '80s Japanese comics, so I think that style is something I will continue to draw.
I don't really picture anyone when I'm drawing. They just become their own completed person with googly eyes.
