I don't think that because I am Hispanic I should therefore do Hispanic work.

I like going to Church for aesthetic reasons, rather than spiritual ones.

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

Artists are a free society's greatest advocates and its best bulwarks. Their triumphs are civilization's triumphs.

I have always felt that I am the sum total of my parts.

I am an artist first and a photographer second.
