I’m an artist who is always looking for what is possible. I’m always looking to extend the boundaries.

Destroy or build. Crazy or noncrazy. I'm not nostalgic about the old city. I don't enjoy it that much.

To call yourself a Chinese artist or woman artist or African artist reflects a certain kind of condition. To me, that is not necessary.

For years, I refused to go to any openings, not even my own.

The relationship between the Chinese government and me is like a Cold War.

I think of art as coming from daily life, daily experience. I think it's very important not to have it become work for some kind of elite circle.

Say what you say plainly, and then take responsibility for it.
