Many people I know - writers, poets - they have all been sentenced not once but sometimes three times after they come out. They serve five or six years, come out another time, and then nine years. Come out again, 12 years. Only because they have a different opinion. They are innocent people, they have beautiful minds, beautiful hearts.

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

What counts in the end is what the government does.

Each year, more people want to become artists.

No outdoor sports can be more elegant than throwing stones at autocracy; no melees can be more exciting than those in cyberspace.

This so-called fame or being better off doesn't really attract me at all.

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