“I could do this all day. Like, give me a Sharpie and, like, it’s on. Oh, nice.” “I like signing my name. I don’t know, I feel like the J is sexy because you could do so many things with it, and so many curves to it, which I think fits me. It’s funny because I feel like we don’t sign at all anymore.” “I used to love to sign my name. Be all over a notebook at the end of like a school year.” “That was in middle school, when I was very excited about trying to figure out how to do a signature. Then in high school, I created another signature. You know, 16 years old, got my driver’s license.” “So when I was, I guess in grade school, I remember trying to make a signature that I thought looked kind of like graffiti or a tag. Even though I had never, you know, spray-painted or done anything like that. I write my S’s backwards.

And I still kind of kept this little curve in the signature — that’s definitely from my mother.” “In Russian it’s called ‘roscherk,’ which is like kind of ending the signature with some sort of, like, ornament. Or maybe it’s just a character of me taking a little more space than I require, I don’t know. But my wife always rolls her eyes.” “I was always told that it was too involved. But I maintain that it’s a necessary part of my style.” “So this one is called ‘I’m in a rush to get out of this restaurant.’ The few times a year that I’m actually writing checks, then I actually do a connected signature.” ”You know really you only need to have a signature for legally binding contracts at this point. And then I’m sure at one point that won’t even be it. Because you know we can sign things electronically now. So ...” “I would miss it. There’s nothing more fabulous than having a conversation: ‘Oh, yes, thank you.’ That is just so fun. Like who doesn’t — Who doesn’t like it? Especially if it’s a really good place.”
