每个人内心都有一个秘密世界。我是说,世界上所有的人。每个人。无论他们在外面看起来多么沉闷无聊,他们的内心都有难以想象、壮丽、奇妙、愚蠢、惊人的世界。不止一个世界。可能有成百上千个。
Everyone has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean. Everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.
"What's terrible is to pretend that the second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better."
The writer's duty is to write with rigor, with honesty, and to never accept compromises.
