The American experience influenced my understanding of individuality, basic human rights, freedom of expression and the rights and responsibilities of citizens.

Anyone fighting for freedom does not want to totally lose their freedom.

The art always wins. Anything can happen to me, but the art will stay.

I lived there [ in New York City] as an artist, but never as a Chinese artist.

I don't belong to a working system. They only select people if you belong to one so you can be controlled.

My image of what a city should be - the super-rich and all the poor and desperate and the people who have some kind of a desire. It's a surviving game, people trying to survive on many different levels.

A small act is worth a million thoughts.
