After I came back [to China], there was still a long period of time when I felt I had nothing to do.

To call yourself a Chinese artist or woman artist or African artist reflects a certain kind of condition. To me, that is not necessary.

Imagine one day, the hateful world around you collapses. And it is your attitude, words and actions that put an end to it. Will you be excited?

You can never know what is and what is not powerful, but you can always find out what the powerful people are scared of. A state like China looks so powerful, but they are so scared of the Internet, so the Internet is more powerful than them.

The tragic reality of today is reflected in the true plight of our spiritual existence. We are spineless and cannot stand straight.

It's always the rich and there's plenty to waste, yet still China has a lot of people living in very spare, poor conditions.

Had I to create a name for these times, I’d say it is the age of craziness
