I've always liked Richard Pryor. I've always responded to rhythmic profanity.

I got to draw shapes. I really like to draw funky, geometric shapes. And I got to use just different fonts and make a joke of how feminine it was, but it didn't even have people in it. To me, it was so exciting and interesting to do that for a while.

Everyone has pencils in their house, no matter how hip and contemporary they are.

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

I never thought I would make a living as a pencil-sharpener. The first goal was: I don't want to lose money. And then the goal was: I want to see if 100 people buy my pencils. I just kept upping the benchmarks.

I felt really conflicted about making money off stuff that's creatively satisfying.

It would be amazing to tell my grandchildren, like, 'Yeah, I was paid to sharpen 1,000 pencils.'
