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

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

Oftentimes we love the thing we hate and vice versa.

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

I have never voted in my life.

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

I am an artist first and a photographer second.
