I think most people see drawing as subservient to the subject, a sort of meditation, a studying, a searching observation, in my case, for its own sake.

Drawing is a way of coming upon the connection between things, just like metaphor in poetry reconnects what has become separated.

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.

I think when I'm drawing, I'm seeing what's happening on the page almost as if it were unfolding like a movie in my head.

Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.

Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic.

Drawing teaches you to look at things properly and to understand form and structure.

Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.
