When we were children, every day after school, my brother and sister and I would go to my mother's office. It was full of pencils and marker and fabrics and beads.

Alone, Art, Picture, Together, Book

When you get a hankering to talk or complain about what you gave up for Lent, replace that hankering by speaking the word of God. For all the times you would have done the activity that you gave up for Lent, replace it by reading the word of God. Christians should always be drawing closer to God.

God, You, Reading, Always, Done, Talk

I was quiet, a loner. I was one of those children where, if you put me in a room and gave me some crayons and a pencils, you wouldn't hear from me for nine straight hours. And I was always drawing racing cars and rockets and spaceships and planes, things that were very fast that would take me away.

Children, Car, Me, You, Racing, Always

There's always room out there for the hand-drawn image. I personally like the imperfection of hand drawing as opposed to the slick look of computer animation. But you can do good stuff either way.

Good, Look, You, Amazing, Imperfection

Everything I've done has felt very natural, and it's happened because it's happened.

Music, Small, Painting, Never, Create

Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic.
