Anytime you're sitting there writing a book about yourself, it's a pretty self-fulfilling prophecy, I guess.
I think, for an artist, when you're drawing somebody who actually exists, it's a much steeper critical curve, as there is an actual representation of that person out there. You can't just interpret it any way you want.
Intimidation is an unusual animal: it's a lot about body language and understanding the human psyche.

The soul-crushing stare, the fatherly disappointment, mixed with a little bit of hate and rage - you're on your way.

Mentally, I'm really strong, but for maybe the first time in my life, I cried about my career because I thought it was over.
