I have always stated I designed the stadium as a toilet seat. I don't care if this is a great cultural event or a national symbol. It has nothing to do with me. It deals with the city.

After I came back [to China], there was still a long period of time when I felt I had nothing to do.

You see so many people doing quite nice and respectful work, but nobody like Warhol. Warhol is outstanding. I think he has a value that is far from fully understood. He's very special for younger generations.

No matter what happens, nothing can prevent the historical process by which society demands freedom and democracy.

I don't like China. Even today, I still feel I have no emotional relations with this place.

This so-called contemporary art is not a form, but a philosophy of society.

Had I to create a name for these times, I’d say it is the age of craziness
