I have very limited craftsmanship. And a lot of the stuff I make plays on that.

I don't even drink Coke. It tastes like robot sweat.

The thing that was interesting to me about Relationshapes - as opposed to most of the other cartoons I've ever made - was I knew when one worked and when one didn't work, but I couldn't really explain it.

I don't want to be one of these people who's like, "Man, I don't know where my ideas come from and I don't know why this works."

The thing I hear about a lot is when people over-sharpen their pencil with a single-blade pocket-sharpener and then when they put the pencil to the page, their tip breaks and pencil points always break irregularly. It always gets all jagged and you have to refresh the point. That's a common complaint.

I didn't dare to dream of making money. But now of course, I've made many thousands of dollars sharpening pencils.

I liked sharpening pencils and I was like, "Oh, I wonder if I could get paid to do it." And I figured it out and I did it.
