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

I don't really think I am interested in the macabre, but I am curious about death. That's normal... The only certainty in life is that we're all going to die. It would be unnatural not to think about death once in a while.

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

An artist is nothing without his or her obsessions.
