Only with the Internet can a peasant I have never met hear my voice and I can learn what's on his mind. A fairy tale has come true.

If people are being abused or even killed during an arrest, this is highly disturbing.

The world is not changing if you don’t shoulder the burden of responsibility.

Everything is selected by the central government without good judgment or an understanding of culture to make it really safe. They will become nobody to maintain their power and be raised to the next higher level.

That's why I always question this sense. The feeling of home really requires a lot of trust. It requires you to identify with it, which I always find myself very contradictory to.

I can still wake up the next day and feel that there's something that needs to be done, which always amuses me.

Even though everybody who looked at me would call me a Chinese artist, that's the 1980s. New York in the '80s was not so interesting. I think it's quite narrow-minded. There wasn't much encouragement or opportunities for any artist - not just Chinese artists.
