I don't think it's worth discussing new directions in the context of Chinese art - there were no old directions, either. Chinese art has never had any clear orientation.
The one thing about art is you can't question it. Everyone is looking at everyone else to find out what's cool. No one knows what's cool.
Treasures are no longer to be got by instrumental art.
I'm learning with my mom how to cook more Spanish food. I'm trying to make a good paella, but that's a real art.
The role of art in society differs for every artist.

I've been taking art classes for a couple of years; I love to draw.
I would love to have my own show, and whatever movies come up, that would be fun to do too. But I love TV, and I love the art of the half-hour sitcom.

If I could ever be on a Missy Elliott record, I could then die. Missy Elliott, Mary J. Blige - I love hearing them interviewed, I love the way they talk about their art. They're very self-assured, they're funny, they're inviting. I love it.

I'm a commercial artist, both in music and art.
Democracy is the art of thinking independently together.
