So-called Chinese art and culture is under control of the Party. They exist to serve the official agenda. I call it fake art and culture.

The people who control culture in China have no culture.

I'm always interested in people who are not orientated in art circles to become part of it.

The misconception of totalitarianism is that freedom can be imprisoned. This is not the case. When you constrain freedom, freedom will take flight and land on a windowsill.

It is not an easy job to govern China, I am aware of that. There are crises and emergencies all the time, we might not even be aware of some. But I am afraid we'll have to wait and observe precisely what the government is up to.

You see so many people doing quite nice and respectful work, but nobody like Warhol. Warhol is outstanding. I think he has a value that is far from fully understood. He's very special for younger generations.

This so-called contemporary art is not a form, but a philosophy of society.
