More quotes by Micah Lexier
Sometimes being an artist is a real drag. It can be incredibly bureaucratic.
Micah Lexier
As I'm getting older, I'm moving away from calculations and measurement. I'm trying to be more open to vulnerability and mistakes.

I like well-made clothes, and I don't mind spending a lot of money on something that looks super, super simple. I don't like knockoffs.

It's nice to make a project where you can show the full breadth of who you are.

Every time I work on a project, I keep every little piece of paper.

Maybe I don't think I'm touching people, but I am. Sometimes I'm sitting there at three in the morning, proofreading something, and I'm thinking, Is this really worth it? Or am I doing this only because my mother taught me never to give up? Then you realize, no, even if it doesn't come back to you, you are touching people.
