I feel like really thinking about art and really appreciating it and learning the language of it just makes you more of a connoisseur. I believe that.

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

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

I feel like really thinking about art and really appreciating it and learning the language of it just makes you more of a connoisseur. I believe that.

People think, "Wow, people in America have so much money, they're sending hundreds of pencils to this guy." I don't think those people realize that most people who are buying these pencils are buying them as art objects or conversation pieces.

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