If you're any good as an artist, you have to be doing something nobody else has interest in. Nobody would be interested in my work except a few crazy people.

Art is the exclusion of the unnecessary.

A man climbs a mountain because it is there. An artist makes a work of art because it is not there.

My art springs from my desire to have things in the world which would otherwise never be there.

Art is an intersection of many human needs.

What do little kids do? They crawl on the floor and they build with blocks. I just continued to do that for the rest of my life.

Art is what we do. Culture is what is done to us. A photograph of an art object is not the art object. An essay about an artist's work is not the artist's work.

A place is an area within an environment that has been altered in such a way to make the general environment more conspicuous.

Once you turn something into something, its universal usage is over.

Why carve? It's a better sculpture that way. I'll never improve the block. So I just started using uncarved blocks.

The wood was better before I cut it, than after. I did not improve it in any way.

So you can be 'fantastic' or 'elastic' but can you ever be both lol??

Authors write books for one, and only one, reason: because we like to torture people.

You're dead, son. Cheer is contraindicated.

Art is man's nature nature is God's art.

As soon as a man has found Christ, he begins to find others.

Sweet Skepticism of the Heart That knows and does not know And tosses like a Fleet of Balm Affronted by the snow.

The doctrine of equality! There exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.

Yeah, touring can get rough some times and draining, but I always have to pinch myself and realize that I'm doing what I love.

I was told I make intelligent comics, and then I made a comic about a horse that pooped.

Frying chicken always makes me feel a little better about life.
