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.

It's always nice to share your energy with young people, the people who might not have any skills but are simply willing to be a part of it.

Recently I danced in a video spoof of the song 'Gangnam Style,' and it was quickly banned across multiple Chinese online video platforms. But the story still traveled all over the world, carried in hundreds of international media reports.

I have to respect my life, and free expression is part of my life. I can never really silence myself.

My musician friends are banned from playing concerts in China because they share the same views as I do. My name cannot appear on the web, because my opinion is different from the Party.

Once you've tasted freedom, it stays in your heart...

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