Just because something makes you smile or laugh ... doesn't mean it's a joke.

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."

I hate self-publishing; it's a real drag and it takes up a lot of space.

I like to do things that are new, where I feel the sense of discovery.

Once you use a toothbrush to clean a pencil sharpener, you should no longer use it to clean your teeth.

I assumed that the pencil market was collapsing, but then it turns out that from 2010 to 2011 in the United States, pencil consumption went up by over six percent. I mean, those are all foreign-made pencils. Those are probably Chinese pencils, mostly, and Mexican pencils. I mean, it is an archaic communication technology, but it is still ubiquitous.

The way you make money is to do something you don't like to do. And that's how you know you're a virtuous person.
