Architecture is my work and I've spent my whole life at a drawing board but life is more important than architecture. What matters is to improve human beings.

It was the drawing that led me to architecture the search for light and astonishing forms.

That's the conundrum of cartoon stripping as opposed to political cartoons. When your anger is the driving force of your drawing hand failure follows. The anger is OK but it has to serve the interests of the heart frankly.

Comics are so full of amazing work. And I can't look at a drawing of a woman without thinking of for instance Wallace Wood and his amazing way of capturing beauty.

My mother encouraged it so much. She was so supportive. Even if as a kid I would do the dumbest trick which now that I look back on some things she would love it she would say that's amazing or if I'd make the ugliest drawing she would hang it up. She was amazing.

I want to be alone and work until the day my heads hits the drawing table and I'm dead. Kaput. I feel very much like I want to be with my brother and sister again. They're nowhere. I know they're nowhere and they don't exist but if nowhere means that's where they are that's where I want to be.

I grew up loving horses. I was relatively obsessed starting with my rocking horse at age 2 all the way through my painting and drawing phase.
