Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.

I was aware that the teaching of drawing was being stopped almost 30 years ago. And I always said, 'The teaching of drawing is the teaching of looking.' A lot of people don't look very hard.

I mean if you draw you like drawing, it's er, an activity you do all the time actually.

When you are older, you realise that everything else is just nothing compared to painting and drawing.
