"My life is a constant struggle for freedom, for dignity, for human rights."

"My art is about individual freedom and expression, which is what the Chinese government fears most."

"I believe that art can change the world. Art can make people think, can make people question, can make people act."

"I think the most important thing for an artist is to be a human being, to be sensitive to the world, to be concerned about humanity."

"I believe that every single individual has the right to express their opinion, and to be heard."
