As long as I can remember, growing up we had a guitar around our house, and I was always plucking on it.

Sometimes you really want to say "Duh," but you can't. It's a part of growing up, I guess.

To me, the thing about anime is that it's so adult-oriented. I remember going to Suncoast growing up, and you see 'Akira' there with the little 'Not for Kids' sticker on it. That always made an impact on me.

When I was growing up, there were two things that were unpopular in my house. One was me, and the other was my guitar.

When you do start to go gray, you can wear it proudly, as if to say, 'I am growing up, I am a little more sophisticated,' as opposed to being someone who is embarrassed by it.

I had a Stuart Davis poster growing up.
