Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

Lose your inhibitions about drawing and just do it.

Maybe I could have been good as a drawer if I had done it as much as I did writing, but it's more scary to draw. It's more revealing. You can't disguise yourself in drawing.

What's the good of drawing in the next breath if all you do is let it out and draw in another?

I'm a believer that you shouldn't really talk about the drawing until you're done with the drawing.

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

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

Drawing a good picture is like telling a really good lie - the key is in the incidental detail.

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.

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.
