You can't make everybody love you. It's an exercise in futility, and it's probably not even a good idea to try.

I'm just a negative person, a deeply negative person. I see the worst aspects of everything.

I use photos a lot for drawing people and personalities, but they're almost never photos that I've taken.

Your vigor for life appalls me.

The work itself is what motivates me. I like my own stuff, you know? I like the way it looks. I do it to please myself first.

When I come up against the real world, I just vacillate.

I always had a sketchbook with me when I was young. I was hiding behind it, basically, hiding behind drawing because I couldn't cope with people in real life; I was very shy and very nervous around people.
