"I think when I'm drawing, I'm seeing what's happening on the page almost as if it were unfolding like a movie in my head."

Previous Quote

I was sickly as a child and gravitated to books and drawing. During my early teen years, I spent hundreds of hours at my window, sketching neighborhood children at play. I sketched and listened, and those notebooks became the fertile field of my work later on. There is not a book I have written or a picture I have drawn that does not, in some way, owe them its existence.
