It's just that some things more important for this and less important for that, and this is true regardless the style of the art.

I wanted to make new works of very contemporary objects, which I thought was interesting because many of them are manufactured in China, but these objects are universal, they go across all languages, all cultures.

The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition is very difficult to hang because it is so large and the quality is very varied. There are 1,200 works, an almost impossible number, some are interesting and some are not.

I think from an artist's point of view, everything in art, in fact everything in the world is available as material.

If I did not love the things that I do, how could I spend my life doing this? You have to invest what you spend your life doing with pleasure.

I had my exhibition of paintings first in Shanghai, and then recently in Wuhan. Wuhan particularly interested me, because I am 1/8 Chinese.

I am trying to present objects in the simplest way possible, and I don't want to supply too much context.
