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

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

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

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

In my work, I explore my own Catholic obsessions.

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

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