I think China is laughing about the results of the presidential elections. China, Russia, they all laugh about it. They see how dramatic U.S. has to be put this kind of shame on its own - cannot handle the situation. Or show such a difficulty with this liberal ideas. Men or women created equal. And to defend those very essential ideas.

We should use this public sphere and redefine - beyond China's borders - what a government is allowed to do, where its powers end and where the realm of a citizen's privacy begins.

Any design, any city, any kind of craziness or tragedy, it all comes from a long time of preparation.

Any politician who respects China's government should tell it openly what is in his heart. It is disrespectful to keep quiet about such issues - both vis-a-vis the government and the people concerned.

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.

Cities really are mental conditions. Beijing is a nightmare. A constant nightmare.

My typical day is I wake up and appreciate that I can still wake up.
