"Being mentioned in a Star Wars novel. The dude who wrote it was a Tripod fan, so he snuck in a reference to "Yon, Scod, and Gaitzi". I may now die a happy nerd." (regarding his greatest life achievement)

"I say "It's all one thing" a lot. My friends are tired of it, but I really do believe in the interconnectedness of all things, and how everything affects everything else. Another catchphrase I have is "The big bang is still going on, baby", but I haven't had a chance to use that yet. I'm thinking about losing the "baby"." (regarding his life motto)

"Playing the piano is good. Also, going to my favorite café and reading a book with a coffee. Reading comics relaxes me. Drawing does, too." (regarding his relaxation techniques)
