Overturning police cars is a super-intense workout. It’s probably the only sport I enjoy.

I don't think it's worth discussing new directions in the context of Chinese art - there were no old directions, either. Chinese art has never had any clear orientation.

Hopefully, other successes aren't like me. It carries much more meaning to other people; my success story is irrelevant. It doesn't make any sense.

I also doubt a man can give really clear reasons for anything.

I don't belong to a working system. They only select people if you belong to one so you can be controlled.

The media is the message. It carries the full intention and the meaning. Once you change it...it's very disturbing.

If I walk on the street, if I go to a restaurant, people come to me and say: "Can we take a photo together? Can you give me your autograph?" They would bring their expensive Armani or Prada wallet to sign. Other people who are desperate show me a photo of their dead daughter and ask: Can you support me? I tell them: How can I? Morally, of course, I sympathize with you. But I cannot support you and you cannot support me. This is the condition of this society. We are separated.
