I think art certainly is the vehicle for us to develop any new ideas, to be creative, to extend our imagination, to change the current conditions.

My understanding of Chinese history is limited. So far, I have only scratched its surface; I wish I could find out more.

Beijing is constructing a 100,000 m2 modern art museum, yet it will not feature any of my work.

I have always stated I designed the stadium as a toilet seat. I don't care if this is a great cultural event or a national symbol. It has nothing to do with me. It deals with the city.

Expressing oneself is like a drug. I'm so addicted to it.

I never think any place is better than others.

I think we cannot have a double standard. We cannot see our art as different from the reality. We cannot use two different sets of judgment.
