• Creativity is the power to reject the past, to change the status quo, and to seek new potential. Simply put, aside from using one's imagination - perhaps more importantly - creativity is the power to act.

• My definition of art has always been the same. It is about freedom of expression, a new way of communication. It is never about exhibiting in museums or about hanging it on the wall. Art should live in the heart of the people. Ordinary people should have the same ability to understand art as anybody else. I don’t think art is elite or mysterious. I don’t think anybody can separate art from politics. The intention to separate art from politics is itself a very political intention.

• El arma letal contra la sociedad totalitaria es la apertura: hacerlo todo muy abiertamente en Internet, que la gente conozca cada detalle, cualquier pequeño avance. Una vez que está ahí fuera, todo el mundo puede hacer su propio juicio. [Por lo tanto, celebrar un juicio fuera del tribunal. Creo que eso es imparcialidad, eso es justicia, eso es una sociedad civil. Si no, la llamamos sociedad del mal, porque todo está oculto.
