I'm basically the idea person. I'm not physically involved in the production. I don't have the necessary abilities, so I go to the top people.

Art is something that happens inside us. We look at things in the world, and we become excited by them. We understand our own possibilities of becoming. And that's what art is.

Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place.

I'm making some of the greatest art being made now. It'll take the art world ten years to get around to it.

Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.

Art is obsolete now. New technologies are taking over.

Art has this ability to allow you to connect back through history in the same way that biology does. I'm always looking for source material.

Every day I wake up and I really try to pinch myself to take advantage of today and to use that freedom of gesture to do what I really like to do.

Loss gives us a chance for an upgrade.

Oh... nice... nice... Ant-Man is a crazy movie.

Be the slaughterhouse for sacred cows.

No one plans to get sick or hurt - I certainly didn't - but most people will need medical care at some point in their lives.

Life and human society are the chief concern of Confucianism and, through it, the chief concern of the Chinese people.
