I don't think China should care if this crazy old guy should have a show here or not. You have so many museums in the West, and so many shows, you need somebody to show the work, otherwise it's empty.

China spends a lot of resources and effort on gaining soft power over culture. The hope is that it can be the last lifeline for the Party's survival. Obviously, the idea will fail.

This world should be much more open and should be much more free, so the young people would have the chance to exercise the quality of their lives.

I have always stated I designed the stadium as a toilet seat. I don't care if this is a great cultural event or a national symbol. It has nothing to do with me. It deals with the city.

If people are being abused or even killed during an arrest, this is highly disturbing.

[Cultural departments] don't care about culture. Maybe they're the furthest from the people who understand culture.

Everything is art. Everything is politics.
