Drawing teaches you to look at things properly and to understand form and structure.

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

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.

If you have an idea, you have to move on it, to make a gesture. Drawing is an immediate way of articulating that idea - of making a gesture that is both physical and intellectual.

For me, drawing is a way of navigating the imagination, and it remains the fundamental vehicle of my practice. Drawing allows me to be at my most inventive.

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.

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

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

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 makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.
