No matter what I do with my life, or how successful I am, I will always be a socially awkward penguin inside.

I'm keenly aware of the Pride coming before the Fall . . . but I really do like what I've been able to do here.

I'm going to go talk to some people to see if you could be in the movie because you should be in the movie.

Sometimes, a person who likes your work and a person who don’t will show up within milliseconds of each other to let you know how they feel. One does not need to cancel out the other, positively or negatively; if you’re proud of the work, and you enjoyed the work, that is what’s important.

The goal isn’t to make something everyone will love; the goal is to get excited, and make a thing where something wasn’t before.
