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

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.

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

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.

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

I have come to terms with a lot of things, because, when all's said and done, there's really very little one can do about a lot of things. You just accept them. The point is you just have to keep on working and you just have to keep on living.

I've never had an easy relationship with critics. I hold a lot of homicide in my heart. If this was another time, I'd be packing a piece.
