I’m at my happiest when I have a good idea and I’m drawing it well, and it comes out well and somebody laughs at it. – Charles M. Schulz
It seems beyond the comprehension of people that someone can be born to draw comic strips, but I think I was. – Charles M. Schulz
I’m drawing the gossip surrounding the celebrity, or the image the celebrity tries to push on us. – Hilary Duff
We would sift through every inch of what it was that worked, or if it didn’t, and wonder what was effective in it, in terms of paint, the subject matter, the size, the drawing. – Helen Frankenthaler
When people retire, their income drops much more sharply than their consumption. As a result, they stop saving and start drawing down the assets they’ve acquired during their high-saving years. That could start to put upward pressure on interest rates and downward pressure on stock prices. – Greg Ip
I started drawing a mouse because it was my father’s nickname for my mother. And mice are very expressive. – Helen Craig
Often I had to imagine the things I needed. I learned very early to read amidst noise. And so I started writing and drawing at an early age. – Gunter Grass
One thing I do personally started 20 years ago. I started meditating, and I know twice a day I can kind of let everything drop. It’s just about being quiet, like drawing back the day, and it allows me to have energy. – Hugh Jackman
Why go now? That is the question people asked when I announced I was retiring. A combination of things made me feel it was all drawing to a natural end. – Graeme Le Saux
If you’re drawing humans, it can be detrimental to be too naturalistic, which is like animating little corpses. – Henry Selick
If you have an idea, you have to move on it, to make a gesture. Drawing is an immediate way of articulating that idea – of making a gesture that is both physical and intellectual. – Jeff Koons
The great gift of conversation lies less in displaying it ourselves than in drawing it out of others. He who leaves your company pleased with himself and his own cleverness is perfectly well pleased with you. – Jean de la Bruyere
There’s always going to be a little bit of autobiographical content to everything. It’s how you lend some authority to what you write – you give it that weight by drawing on your direct experiences and indirect experiences from people that you know well, or a little. – Ian Anderson
If I try to articulate every little detail in a drawing, it would be like missing the forest for the trees, so it’s just about getting the outline of the forest. – Jeff Koons
The scariest people to turn a movie over to are always the people who are drawing up the poster, because that’s the first impression it’s going to make. And very often it’s portraying a very different film from the one the actors actually did. – Jesse Eisenberg
Growing up, I enjoyed drawing, but it was always in the service of an idea. I drew all the time, and I enjoyed making. – Jonathan Ive
Many museums are drawing audiences with art that is ostensibly more entertaining than stuff that just sits and invites contemplation. Interactivity, gizmos, eating, hanging out, things that make noise – all are now the norm, often edging out much else. – Jerry Saltz
I think that even if you’re wondering if two characters are ever going to kiss, drawing out the inevitability is part of the fun. Whatever the genre happens to be. – J. J. Abrams
Unlike any other visual image, a photograph is not a rendering, an imitation or an interpretation of its subject, but actually a trace of it. No painting or drawing, however naturalist, belongs to its subject in the way that a photograph does. – John Berger
When I was a kid, I never felt that what I was drawing really represented me; it was just something I enjoyed. – Jim Lee
Drawing is a way of coming upon the connection between things, just like metaphor in poetry reconnects what has become separated. – John Berger
I still have some of my old University essays, and I do still have my drawing book from primary year seven. – Iain Banks
On a purely personal level, it’s very strange, because as a kid, Superman informed my personality. Now I’ve been given the job of forming Superman’s personality and, in some ways, drawing on my own background. – J. Michael Straczynski
For a while, I was drawing on good paper, but now I’ve gone back to the bad stuff. I put matte medium on it. If you put matte medium on it, it seals up, so it doesn’t really matter. – Jean-Michel Basquiat
