Even if I have hundreds of things to do, the disconnected feeling is still there because it is very hard to find a real purpose of life.

Life is never guaranteed to be safe, so we better use it while we are still in good condition.

I think everybody deserves freedom. Freedom is such an abstract word, but it's all we need.

In the '80s, you couldn't walk in the neighborhood without looking back to see if anyone was following you. You had your key in your hand before you got to your apartment and you'd rush in so you didn't have to stop.

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

My definition of art has always been the same. It is about freedom of expression. I don’t think anybody can separate art from politics. The intention to separate [the two] is itself a very political intention.

Behind every political deal in this country, the first casualties are always the ordinary people, who are barely treated as human.
