I don't want to make myself sound that spontaneous, because I'm not.

I love when I'm trying to do something I don't know how to do, and it kind of figures itself out along the way. And that means messing up a lot. That means throwing away a lot of drawings.

Ideas mostly come from the work itself. Often when I'm drawing, the words will be bouncing around in my head, and when I'm writing, ideas about the drawing happen.

I [drinking coffee] for about an hour, I get dressed and go down in my studio, and that's a different kind of working.

Some of it just involved thinking about, for example, the different kinds of science, what chemistry is.

The morning time is also a time when I look at what I did yesterday. That's often a jumping-off point for today.

It's really daunting when you have just spent a lot of time on something to think about tossing it out. But once you've started something better that's working right, then it's pretty easy to let the first one go.
