My father, who was a cabinetmaker, told me, 'Wood has a grain and if you go into the grain, you have beauty. If you go against it, you have splinters - it breaks.' And I took that as my view of life. You have to follow the grain - to be sensitive to the direction of life. Votes: 11

When I'm drawing, I'm drawing with the light, being completely open and creative. I can't draw in the evening.

Sometimes the man wins, and sometimes the designer wins. Votes: 0

You get experience, and maybe dislike it and go another way. Your age is still an age of exploration. Votes: 0
