"I know the next decade will bring some wild changes—both personally and industry-wide—as the vehicles with which we consume content keep changing. That directly informs what I do for a living, and my hope is not just to keep up, but to really engage with new channels, mediums, and people."

we're probably not changing the world
"At the end of the day, we're probably not changing the world with most of the images we're making. Instead, I think the main opportunity to contribute to the greater good is through the relational aspect of what we do as artists. We meet and interact with people form all over the world, all the time. The ability to go beyond the creation of images and to develop a camaraderie with people ... is important. Those relationships will likely last longer than the typical lifespan of an image."
unite an audience with humanity
"I was used to uniting an audience with humour; this time, I wanted to unite an audience with humanity."
no compromise
"As an artist, you want as many people to see your work as possible with no compromise. .... I don't want to .... have it watered down, and follow a soap opera, and have all the edges filed down and have someone interfere. .... Delivering the exact thing that I made ... that's so important to me, you know, that's, I said, the ideal of the most beautiful and purest thing. And it's how little it can be ruined from your brain to the observer. And that's the way you do everything yourself, really, because, you know, I've probably only produced and directed to protect my writing, the idea, you know?"
taught myself everything I know
"Stick with it. Do your thing. I dropped out at 16, I never went to art school, and I taught myself everything I know."
