I have never voted in my life.

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

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

An artist is nothing without his or her obsessions.

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.

I like the aesthetics of the Church.

As a former Catholic, and as someone who even today is not opposed to being called a Christian, I felt I had every right to use the symbols of the Church and resented being told not to.
