Now I've come to such a mixed culture: America, Europe, South America, Africa. And the politics are changing everywhere all the time and becoming even more unpredictable. There's no such thing as "fixed" culture. China is also becoming more global. Its problems are becoming international problems, becoming German problems, becoming American problems. Nothing is clear-cut. Perhaps I'll find my way - or get totally lost.

There's no single artwork I even want to mention or that I can even really think about it to have any feeling, to be proud of it.

I loved New York — every inch of it. It was a little bit scary at that time, but still, the excitement was so strong — visually and intellectually. It was like a monster.

I never regret anything.

If a nation cannot face its past, it has no future.

Each year, more people want to become artists.

I want people to see their own power.
