Perhaps he just preferred drawing: "I didn't really 'deface' the walls, because anyway the walls on those days were not painted white like they are today. Rather there were many little marks and spots. I would lay in bed and look at those marks, and imagine which ones were faces, and which ones lions, and make them into little pictures right on the wall."
