I'm doing quite a few things now. In one day, I will go to Kassel, Germany, for a documentary project I've been preparing for half a year. I will bring 1,001 Chinese to participate as my artwork there - any Chinese who is a Chinese passport holder and over eighteen years old could apply through my blog. I'm just bringing them to Kassel to see the art show, and pay their room and board.

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

The relationship between the Chinese government and me is like a Cold War.

Chinese government is very clearly losing power in every aspect, but trying to fix up all the problems or potential problems.

I think I'm just a traveler. When you walk across a river and there's no bridge, you build one. I'm used to having to deal with Chinese Communist ideology - it's not really an ideology, but a method of control. But China's problems are not just China's problems - they're human problems. Humanity has always worked better when you see it as one.

Twitter is most suitable for me. In the Chinese language, 140 characters is a novella.

To call yourself a Chinese artist or woman artist or African artist reflects a certain kind of condition. To me, that is not necessary.

Because Chinese art is booming, it legitimizes this profession.

I am sure that the Japanese, the Chinese and the peoples of Islam will always be closer to us than, for example, France, in spite of the fact that we are related by blood (...)

For most Americans, my Chinese music feels like a novelty and it's not what it is for me.
