I have never been able to see myself as fitting into one category, and I have never been able to limit my contact with people to one group of people.

Being born, especially being born a person of color, is a political act in itself.

One of the things that I am happy about in my life as an artist is that I am not considered a Hispanic artist.

My work is intensely personal.

I have always felt that my work is religious, not sacrilegious.

I think if the Vatican is smart, someday they'll collect my work.

There's nothing wrong with provocative art work: I even look forward to the day when I can take pictures which will disturb even me.
