But, I enjoy doing concert halls all over America, England, Scotland and Australia.

I want you to be a currant bush, and some day, little currant bush, when you are laden with fruit, you are going to say, ‘Thank you, Mr. Gardener, for loving me enough to cut me down, for caring enough about me to hurt me. Thank you, Mr. Gardener.’

That is not an ideological position I hold on drawing but is rather an expression of my desire to design and by extension to build.

Yes, I love making a beautiful, well-crafted drawing, but I love it only because of the amount of information a precise drawing provides
