The absence of craft is everything ugly in the world. It's indecision, neglect, shortcutting, lack of attention - it's things falling apart.

Beautiful is precision and it's decision. It's attention. It's a sustained effort. It's intention, it's ambition, it's followthrough... It's maintenance. It's everything we care about and actively strive to make better in the world.

Craft is responsible for everything beautiful in the world.

Anything has the potential to have meaning. We just have to state our intention.

It was a transformative experience. I cultivated meaning into something that was formerly mundane.

Craft is the process by which intent is transformed into a meaningful existence.

Can you impart meaning in an activity through intention? When we set a goal, we state an intention. We do everything it takes to follow through with that goal. That is where the meaning is.

How do I diversify my catalogue of meaningful things?

What if meaning was a choice that we make?

How does one cultivate and diversify meaning in their life?

I found success in one area, but it didn't immune me to everything else in life.

While I found success in one area, I'd been working so hard towards this one very narrow goal that everything around me just felt like it was being neglected.

The world gives you nothing until you give it everything.

Maybe I have something here. Maybe this is something that could fulfill this goal that I've had since I was a little kid which was to make a living doing something that i created and something that I loved.

I realized early on how committed the listeners I did have were — they were extremely loyal. It seemed like the show was really connecting with the people that were listening.

I wasn't doing it for anyone, but myself... and in retrospect it really helped. It was very authentic and it was just something I wanted to do.

Great works of art tell very specific stories.

Es interesante ver como las interpretaciones, nos hacen creer seguros de que la intención tuya era determinada, y a partir de eso uno muchas veces lincha o premia al prójimo.

El humor es una manera de gritar con tinta.

Mi intención siempre ha sido poder expresar a través de la caricatura lo que a mí me interesa, lo que a mí me molesta. Es una manera de expresar civilizadamente tus desacuerdos.

It should really be the intention that we want to live with. The affirmations and the core values that we say, that we value. Because it will help us show up for the people who matter in the way that they deserve to.

We can either bend our morals to fit our actions, or our actions can be informed by what we say we value.

Everyday you're supposed to wake up, and go through sense organ cleansing rituals. [...] You clean your eyes, and to me that says "I'm going to see things clearly today". You clean your ears, "I'm going to hear things correctly today". It's all about having a healthy relationship with reality

I look at the things that helped me build positive feelings about others and about myself. One of the techniques that I use is I write love lists. A love list is kind of like taking an object and finding things to love about it.

You need to love yourself.
