For me, drawing is a question of death and life. Every day I draw, I write, I do something.

To confer the gift of drawing, we must create an eye that sees, a hand that obeys, a soul that feels; and in this task, the whole life must cooperate. In this sense, life itself is the only preparation for drawing. Once we have lived, the inner spark of vision does the rest.

Even though I'm usually not conscious of it, I think drawing has always served a sort of therapeutic purpose in my life. There's something about the process of translating the messy chaos of real life into a clean, simple drawing that's always been comforting to me.

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

Although I still occasionally paint and draw, my life has now been shaped by my writing.

I always tell people that my life is in pencil; I have to keep an eraser in my hand because I could always get a call that could change everything.

I have been drawing all my life.

People can't draw now and don't feel it's necessary. Art students don't seem to want to draw.
