Sometimes we get sad about things and we don’t like to tell other people that we are sad about them. We like to keep it a secret. Or sometimes, we are sad but we really don’t know why we are sad, so we say we aren’t sad but we really are.
有时我们为某些事感到悲伤,却不愿告诉别人。我们想保守这个秘密。或者有时我们感到悲伤,却真的不知道为什么悲伤,于是我们说我们不悲伤,但实际上我们是悲伤的。
I think we have been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations.
I don’t let success get to my head.
All my work comes out of being frustrated about the human condition.
房间不是一个地点,而是一个事件。
