I hope you are either misremembering or this was a translation error.

The manga industry is a business where people burn out because they aren't famous enough to take regular breaks and keep their job... which would make Oda's statement either tasteless if it was a joke or outright hipocisy if it was Oda's true opinion. It's like saying "You must die for it, but I will make sure to keep my health up with regular breaks"...
