When you have strict censorship of the internet, young students cannot receive a full education. Their view of the world is imbalanced. There can be no true discussion of the issues.

You need a purpose to express yourself, but that expression is its own purpose.

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.

I never had a sense of home.

It doesn't matter where I am - China will stay in me. I don't know how far I can still walk on this road and what is the limit.

The fantasy we had with pearls was always so luxurious and unique with a kind of rareness.

Everyone thinks the Chinese government selected me. Never ever. I was selected by Herzog and de Meuron.
