If Shakespeare were alive today, he might be writing on Twitter.

A society is healthy only when it allows its members to discuss their thoughts openly. This is also the only way that a society can gather consensus, let everyone express his or her wish, and foster creativity.

For artists and intellectuals today, what is most needed is to be clear about social responsibility, because that is what most people automatically give up. Just to protect yourself as an individual is very political. You don't have to march on Tiananmen, but you do have to be clear-minded, to find your own means of expression.

I think my stance and my way of life is my most important art.

If I really have nothing to do, I just watch my cats, take some photos, and go back to my personal blog.

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.

No matter what happens, nothing can prevent the historical process by which society demands freedom and democracy.
