Maybe I don't think I'm touching people, but I am. Sometimes I'm sitting there at three in the morning, proofreading something, and I'm thinking, Is this really worth it? Or am I doing this only because my mother taught me never to give up? Then you realize, no, even if it doesn't come back to you, you are touching people.

Doing a job well is the thing. It's its own thing.

My collaborations have to be very positive. I will never work with a person I fight with.

It's nice to make a project where you can show the full breadth of who you are.

I like the authentic object, and I have no problem paying sixty dollars for a T-shirt if it fits me really well and it's really well made. I like unassuming clothes.

Sometimes being an artist is a real drag. It can be incredibly bureaucratic.

I'm a collector. I was born a collector. I came out of the womb a collector. I can trace it back to childhood - collecting used keys.
