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.

My life is really a history of observing forms and taking in imagery. I don't mean in a photographic way, I mean in a way of feeling them structurally.

For me, drawing is everything, because it informs everything. It even informs my poetry. It's the way I begin everything.

Western art is built on the biographical passion of one artist for another.

More important than having a romance with the object that I'm drawing, is to have a romance with the mark that I am making.

I do not think that obsession is funny or that not being able to stop one's intensity is funny.

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.
