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

The motivation is really to say people can find the game of getting involved interesting and find the problem and really have the passion and the enthusiasm to solve it and move forward, but that's all I know.

China partially wants to become part of the world. By hosting the Olympics and the Expo, they made a big effort to tell people: Look, we are the same. They want to be accepted by the international community.

Modern Chinese culture is weak and lackluster.

It's always nice to share your energy with young people, the people who might not have any skills but are simply willing to be a part of it.

Everyone of us is a potential convict.

At the moment about 350,000 students return to China from abroad each year - 350,000 young and educated people. I know about them because they know me and often ask me in the street if they can take a selfie with me. These folks are creative and ironic, and the government can ultimately not control what is going on in their heads.
