The boundaries between contemporary art and cinema are so rigid. It's unbelievable. The film critics don't know my artwork and the art world doesn't know my films.

When I started I did not know I wanted to be a filmmaker. I started - I made a film. Then when I finished I said, Oh my god it's so beautiful - I should be a filmmaker!

I quit seeing some people who were saying bad things about women; I don't even want to meet them or see them.

The tool of every self-portrait is the mirror. You see yourself in it. Turn it the other way, and you see the world .

I made a braid because Chinese old people, they say that the God will take you by the hair to join you with - but God didn't take me, so I cut the braid.

People think you are an orphan when you are a child, and don't believe that old people can feel that they are orphans.
