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

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

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.

The type of pop culture that is honestly very moving and powerful to me is [when artists] do their homework. They make it real.

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 things I'm grateful for are: I had the one thing that I feel really lucky about, which is that I made something, I made art, that truly - in a weird way - truly comforted me and comforted a lot of people. And I'm really grateful that I got to have that experience.
