I curated this show [Shanghai Biennale ], I was by no means trying to shock people or be controversial.

If it's possible, I will have some noodles in the morning and start talking to people, start to think about a few things in my head - the project or a few ideas which are not finished or if there are possible directions and what will lead into another game. It's always like setting up some kind of game you can continuously play.

Life is art. Art is life. I never separate it.

A lot of the time [in the U.S.], I was thinking about how spending time is always questionable or is always the biggest obstacle in my life.

The importance of elections, transparency, legal procedures, an independent army, and the judicial system is not regarded as highly in China. These core values are the most important evidence of the health of a society, quality of life, and security. A clear understanding of such differences will help the rest of the world understand China and all that is happening to the nation.

In my case, I was stuck there for quite a while. New York is large enough to be a very abstract city, so nobody cares.

If Shakespeare were alive today, he might be writing on Twitter.
