“Why don’t you take a picture, it’ll last longer.”

“That’s my name, don’t wear it out!”

“I’ve always felt like a kid, and I still feel like a kid, and I’ve never had any problem tapping into my childhood, and my kid side.”

“Shhh! I’m listening to reason!”

“I’m just trying to illustrate that it’s okay to be different — not that it’s good, not that it’s bad, but it’s all right. I’m trying to tell kids to have a good time and to encourage them to be creative and to question things.”
