Quote

My work is being destroyed almost as soon as it is printed. One day it is being read; the next day someone's wrapping fish in it.

I always write in pencil, so I can erase.

When I'm drawing, I'm drawing with the light, being completely open and creative. I can't draw in the evening. I need light and I need warmth if it is a summer thing, and I need cold if it is a winter collection. The good thing is that I have houses to go to whenever I'm working. I draw according to the place.

Anything written or printed under a print or picture takes the attention from it and, if it is very black or white in any marked degree, will utterly destroy its beauty.

I'm the sort of person who doesn't write in ink. I only write in pencil, so it can be rubbed out.

I hope we can get back to what I call the kitchen table. Everyday issues that people are really worried about and focused on.

I don't like to leave anything unfinished on my desk before I travel.

No special writing rituals. And my desk is usually cluttered.

My books were always full of ink blots, always stained and covered with smeared sketches and pictures, which one draws idly when his attention wanders from his task.

I do not literally paint that table, but the emotion it produces upon me.
