Choices after waking up: To be true or to lie? To take action or be brainwashed? To be free or be jailed?

[Shanghai Biennale] has been my attitude for as long as I've been practicing art and other cultural-related activities.

Creativity is the power to act.

When you have strict censorship of the internet, young students cannot receive a full education. Their view of the world is imbalanced. There can be no true discussion of the issues.

Of course, there [in China] has to be chaos. It has to be crazy, and I don't think there's anything wrong about it except this government, which is really incapable of doing anything meaningful.

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 saw [Allen Ginsberg] more as an old man who liked poetry and who had a lot of physical and emotional problems. We liked our time together.
