"[Drawing is] an intimate medium. It's very direct, it's very close. There is less between the artists and the art. There is real closeness, direct contact. A painting is about refinement of image. And drawing isn't. Drawing is not refinement. I don't think drawing is less than painting... I find that painting doesn't have the fluidity that drawing has. And that's always, to me, the battle, to get fluidity into the painting."
