Oftentimes we love the thing we hate and vice versa.

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.

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

In my work, I explore my own Catholic obsessions.

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

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.

An artist is nothing without his or her obsessions.

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.

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

My use of the medium - photography - is in some ways traditional.

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

We are so rebellious that when we die our cells refuse to live a second longer. But our souls they live always....

He, however, who begins with Metaphysics, will not only become confused in matters of religion, but will fall into complete infidelity.

Often with good sentiments we produce bad literature.

In order for three people to keep a secret, two must be dead.

It just makes sense to remember gratitude and the place that gratitude should have in your life, and that none of us are owed these wonderful experiences, and we should always make the best of them.

I am in constant bliss, day and night, egotism has been dispelled from within me.

Hollywood is the backdrop of my family, and I know that the movie business is incredibly cruel as you get older.

The more necessary a thing is for living beings, the more easily it is found and the cheaper it is; the less necessary it is, the rarer and dearer it is.

The idea of experimenting with machines to create art was always something I tinkered with.

We should never lower our dignity by lowering our language.
