I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.

I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.

I want to bring drawing back to the basics, make it about the pleasure that it can afford and remove the notion that it's some kind of precious or difficult activity. It's another way of telling a story.

You know, painting has given me a lot of freedom, because for some reason, I've been able to paint things, organize things in a way that I see that don't have any buffers or compromises in them.

I have been drawing all my life.

I think the most important thing you can do is to keep drawing no matter what. And to not be afraid of drawing whatever interests you. If there is something that you want to draw, to make, then I think you should pursue it and not let anybody tell you that you can't do it.

Lose your inhibitions about drawing and just do it.

I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.

My job is to make images and leave the decision-making and conclusion-drawing to other people.

As long as I can remember, I've always loved to draw. But my interest in drawing wasn't encouraged very much.
