When children draw or do rudimentary painting, the whole human being develops an interest in what is being done. This is why we should allow writing to develop from drawing.

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.

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

The truth is that painting is all about scale; you use scale to create experience. A lot of artists have lost that ability. They don't even know that's something they should be doing.

Painting is almost like a sport. It's like this action thing. When I do it, I'm really not thinking. The paintings are like a diary that I might not want to read again.

Painting is a coalescing of experience.

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

I believe the reason I love painting so much is that it forces one to be objective.

I'm an artist and I can draw very well. I'm amazed that everybody can't draw well because I can do it so effortlessly.

My attitude towards drawing is not necessarily about drawing. It's about making the best kind of image I can make, it's about talking as clearly as I can.
