I had good relationships with stores. And I was like, "All right, I'll self-publish it. But I'm only going to do 1,000."

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

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

I've been really surprised about a lot of the negative comments about artisanal pencil sharpening. Like, it really rubs some people the wrong way.

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

To me, if you're lucky enough to make stuff that people will pay money for, do a good job. Really do a good job. Especially if you're talking about real stuff, like terror atrocities and human rights abuses and pencil-sharpening techniques.
