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?

I am very much interested in the so-called useless object. I mean, it takes perfect craftsmanship, beautiful material carefully measured and crafted, but at the same time it’s really useless.

This so-called fame or being better off doesn't really attract me at all.

Expressing oneself is like a drug. I'm so addicted to it.

[Being unique] gives so much privilege to people who can make it, rather than having some moral and aesthetic discussions.

If we all say the same thing, then I think the government has to listen. But because no one is saying it, I become singled out, even though what I'm saying is common sense. It's very essential values that we all have to protect. But in Chinese society, people are giving up on protecting these values.

This is a very general understanding of art in China, that being an artist can make you money and turn you into a star.
