All the rich people collect traditional Chinese art. So it's very natural for Chinese families to still see art as the highest human performance and send their children to this field.

All movies in China are censored. Out of 600 movies produced in China, only 60 are allowed to show in theatres.

If you just turn to your paper or television each day, there are thousands of stories that are much more shocking than the gallery artworks.

I have people working together, doing different things: architecture, art installation, photography, publishing, and curatorial works and design.

The whole Chinese system - not just the political leadership, the military too, the whole power structure, our education system, the whole of society - is suffering from being cut off from the free flow of information. That's why the country can't face up to open competition - unless it resorts to measures like North Korea.

I don't believe in a sense of home.

Everything is art. Everything is politics.
