- I
just wanted to find out where the boundaries were.
I've found out there aren't any. I wanted to be
stopped but no one will stop me.

- In
England if I did a show like this they would think:
"Oh God, it is so obvious." Putting
a skull in a painting is too obvious. Because
a skull means death. But here they understand
that a skull is a metaphor of transient life because
Mexico has such a long history loaded with imagery.
In North America I would also have problems with
this show because they are so afraid of death,
they hate this, they cannot look at a skull; they
feel like they are under attack. It's more to
do with a sense of humor failure than anything
else.

- People
say to me that my work's sensational. And I go,
"What's wrong with sensation? It's like touching
skin." Sensation is an element of what I
do, and why not? It's not sensational for the
sake of being sensational, but it's sensational
art.
