I like to believe that rather than destroy icons, I make new ones.

I am drawn to Christ but I have real problems with the Catholic Church.

I say things, but I say them indirectly. At the same time, I try to make my images as direct as possible.

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

I have always felt that my work is religious, not sacrilegious. I would say that there are many individuals in the Church who appreciate it and who do not have a problem with it. The best place for Piss Christ is in a church.

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.

My work is intensely personal.
