“Failure is always an option”

“I love lists. Always have. when I was 14, I wrote down every dirty word I knew on file cards and placed them in alphabetical order. I have a thing about about collections, and a list is a collection with purchase. (Wired Magazine, "Step One: Make a List", October 2012)”

“I reject your reality and substitute my own.”

“My workplace is wherever I'm making something, which could be in a field in gold country, or in an abandoned warehouse on a military base.”

“Bad spellers of the world untie!”

“sticks and stones can only break bones; but words can shatter the soul”

“The difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.”
