Freedom of speech implies the world isn’t defined. It is meaningful when people are allowed to see the world their way.

I never had secure, belonging feelings with this society [in China].

In my case, I was stuck there for quite a while. New York is large enough to be a very abstract city, so nobody cares.

To give a price to an artwork, no matter how high or low, is always absurd. It's not something that can be measured by money or by certain numbers.

To express yourself needs a reason, but expressing yourself is the reason.

New York is a city where you're so alone, you're an individual, you can disappear. You can make something happen. But it's very different to make something happen in the art world.

My definition of art has always been the same. It is about freedom of expression, a new way of communication. It is never about exhibiting in museums or about hanging it on the wall.
