More quotes by Ai Weiwei
It [success] is really by mistake.
Ai Weiwei
At the moment about 350,000 students return to China from abroad each year - 350,000 young and educated people. I know about them because they know me and often ask me in the street if they can take a selfie with me. These folks are creative and ironic, and the government can ultimately not control what is going on in their heads.
Ai Weiwei
If I really have nothing to do, I just watch my cats, take some photos, and go back to my personal blog.
Ai Weiwei
I also doubt a man can give really clear reasons for anything.
Ai Weiwei
I'm totally independent. I don't bear any responsibility to any system.
Ai Weiwei
Creativity is part of human nature. It can only be untaught.
Ai Weiwei
It's always nice to share your energy with young people, the people who might not have any skills but are simply willing to be a part of it.
Ai Weiwei
I think we cannot have a double standard. We cannot see our art as different from the reality. We cannot use two different sets of judgment.
Ai Weiwei
For artists and intellectuals today, what is most needed is to be clear about social responsibility, because that is what most people automatically give up. Just to protect yourself as an individual is very political. You don't have to march on Tiananmen, but you do have to be clear-minded, to find your own means of expression.
Ai Weiwei
My musician friends are banned from playing concerts in China because they share the same views as I do. My name cannot appear on the web, because my opinion is different from the Party.
Ai Weiwei
I grew up in a desert, which has no kind of imagination.
Ai Weiwei
Warhol came from an ordinary family and he had a profound understanding about capitalism and material culture. He was probably one of the few Western artists - or artists from the United States - that could be considered a true product of his time and brought out that kind of spirit of the culture.
Ai Weiwei
Growing up, my family was an enemy of the state. I have experienced more disappointment than joy, much more sad stories or desperate conditions.
Ai Weiwei
I never regret anything.
Ai Weiwei
If you don’t act, the danger becomes stronger.
Ai Weiwei
What is important is that we actively express our thoughts and wishes, in every realm that we can access.
Ai Weiwei
I think of art as coming from daily life, daily experience. I think it's very important not to have it become work for some kind of elite circle.
Ai Weiwei
You're still being looked at as somebody who - it's a very complicated issue.
Ai Weiwei
People have a tendency to become elite rather than to care about the general conditions of the society, which makes me sick. It's an unbearable condition.
Ai Weiwei
A nation that has no music and no fairytales is a tragedy.
Ai Weiwei
