People have a tendency to become elite rather than to care about the general conditions of the society, which makes me sick. It's an unbearable condition.

Warhol influenced me because of his writing. If I had never read his writings and interviews, I would never have understood his work.

Today, the general masses in this society are in this political-social condition that really encourages people to become rich and become a star and be unique.

Artists are the worst [people]. They are selfish, self-centred; they don't care what happens.

Being an artist is more of a mindset, a way of seeing things; it is no longer so much about producing something.

In China, we don't have any contemporary art museums. Until a few years ago, we didn't even have a gallery.

Hopefully, other successes aren't like me. It carries much more meaning to other people; my success story is irrelevant. It doesn't make any sense.
