To work in architecture you are so much involved with society, wit

To work in architecture you are so much involved with society, with politics, with bureaucrats. Its a very complicated process to do large projects. You start to see the society, how it functions, how it works. Then you have a lot of criticism about how it works. – Ai Weiwei

As a person, I was born to give out my opinions. By giving out my opinions, I realize who I am. As long as I can communicate, Im not so lonely. If I cannot travel, or do art, or have company, if they take away all my belongings, it doesnt matter at all. – Ai Weiwei
