 One of the great things about drawing as an activity is it forces you to pay attention to what you're doing. And I remember once when I was drawing, my mother was the first time I'd ever drawn her at the age of 15 or 16. And I looked at her with the state of mind that you have to have when you're observing what you're doing. And I realized I had no idea what she looked like. And I find this is true of almost everything. The great benefit of drawing is not to replicate reality but to understand what is real. What is that thing in front of you that you are trying to not replicate but use as a basis for an idea? And that idea, as I said, is what is real. When you see a portrait next to the person that was painted, if you look at the portrait first and then you look at the person, you can better understand what the person looks like. And the role of art specifically, although most of the work we do is not art, is to make you aware of what is real. If it doesn't do that, it ain't art. It's something else. There's no question about the role of persistence in all of this. I mean, you know, I work every day of my life. That's all I know how to do very well. And it's very important to me. And I still don't know how to do it. So you have to be willing to push through. There is no equivalent for hard work. It ain't easy. You can't do it easily. No matter how much of a genius you are, you can't basically be casual or trivial about the energy that you have to put into work. I have to say, when I say struggle, it ain't like coal mining. I mean, you know, it's an awfully interesting way to spend your time. And by and large, there is, in most cases, nothing more pleasurable. I suppose you can't quite separate pain from pleasure in that case. But the struggle has been overdramatized to many Van Gogh movies. But there is no alternative to persistence. You have to stay on the case. You know, it takes a long time even to simply learn how to make a mark that looks like the object in front of you. And then after you learn how to do that and have mastered it, you discover that it's not the point anyhow. So it's an investment, right? And it takes a lifetime.
