The drawings have to do with releasing energy. Somebody once said that people become artists
because they have a certain kind of energy to release, and that rings true to me.

I can't understand it when people say they don't like a particular color.
How on earth can you not like a color?

I like to draw, so I'm always squeezing in a drawing here and there.
I don't know anyone who has as much fun drawing as I do.

If I didn't draw, I don't think the work would have progressed at the rate
or in the directions that the work has gone.

Drawing is a fluid process, as glassblowing is a fluid process.

The drawings really help me think about things.

My mother used to watch me draw and she'd just shake her head and walk away
wondering what the hell I was doing.
