...talk about the future; what do you see for Pink? I see no end to it. I see no reason to think that it won?t go forever. It?s still very much a fun thing for me... I reached a point two or three years in where I hadn?t missed a day and I was like, "I?m just going to see how far I can go." That sort of "work ethic" is what has led me to where I am right now...

If the phone rang, before he answered it, he'd turn to the camera...
...Although people in Beijing don't generally eat dogs, which are raised for meat in the south of the country, the idea of dogs as pets hadn't caught on back then. That time, however, is long past. Today it seems everyone in my neighborhood has a dog. Genghis barely attracts any notice. Like humans, pet dogs must be registered with the local police station; owners pay a fee for registration.
