It's not the act of arrogance to draw, it's humbling - you must use your God-given talent. And of all the people I sketch, in most cases I feel I have to measure up to the subject.

Drawing was a constant in how I expressed myself.

I draw whatever hits me.

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

After a long period of not drawing, you have to, like, relearn how to draw. It's not very fun.

I mean if you draw you like drawing, it's er, an activity you do all the time actually.

Sometimes people think drawing and painting is mucking about when actually it is a highly skilled activity.

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

I draw what I feel, which is no more than doing my job.

I always thought I'd eventually learn how to draw really well, and despite constant evidence to the contrary, I just kept on trying. If you're too good at anything, you don't have to think about the process, whereas I feel like I spend my life with my head under the bonnet, trying to understand how everything works.
