You see so many people doing quite nice and respectful work, but nobody like Warhol. Warhol is outstanding. I think he has a value that is far from fully understood. He's very special for younger generations.

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

The world is not changing if you don’t shoulder the burden of responsibility.

I'm not a writer, but today I think you have to be everything. As an artist you have an obligation to let people know what is on your mind and why you're doing this.

Warhol influenced me because of his writing. If I had never read his writings and interviews, I would never have understood his work.

I don't personally feel any association with a kind of culture related to state, or culture related to power, which I think is always disgusting.

China's culture and history are closely related to my living environment. This country is my birthplace. It is also where I grew up. Its culture and history shape my relations with family, friends, society, and daily life.
