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

When I see a white piece of paper, I feel I've got to draw. And drawing, for me, is the beginning of everything.

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

The first writing of the human being was drawing, not writing.

A drawing is an autobiographical record of one's discovery of an event - either seen, remembered or imagined. A 'finished' work is an attempt to construct an event in itself.

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.

It became clear to me that I had to push it toward a more representational way of drawing.

If I try to articulate every little detail in a drawing, it would be like missing the forest for the trees, so it's just about getting the outline of the forest.
