I light candles. I meditate. And I don't believe in anything. By default I move simultaneously towards mysticism and atheism. It's not something that's ever going to get fixed.

The equation Bubble Tea = Something to Look Forward To depressurizes the misery of capitalism and is a Hello Kitty band-aid on the festering wound of Neo-Liberalism.

I would love to love something, especially if I could do it without feeling like I was watching it die right in front of me.

The world is a violent child none of us will get to see grow up.

I was always face to face with total futility and powerlessness.

I don't like littering and I think it leads to terrorist activities.

If you do an interview in 1960, something it's bound to change by the year 2000. And if it doesn't, then there's something drastically wrong.

To realize the relative validity of one's convictions and yet stand for them unflinchingly is what distinguishes a civilized man from a barbarian.

I haven't bought anything excessive. I do plan on buying an island and filling it with baby tigers, though.

I like making comics and animation because it takes such a long time. I'm not a runner of the 100 meter. I like marathons. The longer it takes, the better I feel.
