“I like making money. I make it out of wood. I make nickels mostly.”

“I make art like I make love—slowly, so I get the most for my money.”

“I like spending all my time making things with my hands. Mostly I make love to myself.”

“I want to make enough money to buy an island. Something modest, like Australia.”

“I wish art was like money in that the more I made, the more interest it developed and plentiful it became. Money makes money, and if art made art, there’s no prison in this country that could hold my creations.”

“I’m a poor worker. The quality of work I do is excellent, but I make no money.”

“If I see a homeless person begging for change, I might give them money, if they’ve got change for a nickel.”
