I don't do music for the critics. I do music for the people who actually live the life I'm talking about.
我不是为评论家做音乐,我是为那些真正过着我在歌里描述的生活的人做音乐。
The artist must be a child of the earth.
译文:别人不如自己的地方,不可以拿出来,在他面前卖弄;别人做不了的善事,不能因自己做过而拿出来炫耀;别人能力比不上我,不能拿来难为别人、压制别人;即使自己很有才华,也要懂得收敛起来,不要招摇,做到看起来很平凡。
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
