I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.
我会告诉你我会做什么和不会做什么。我不会再为我所不再相信的东西服务，无论它自称是我的家、我的祖国还是我的教会：我将尽力以某种生活或艺术的方式自由而完整地表达自己，用我允许自己使用的唯一武器来保护自己——沉默、流放和狡黠。
The best books... are those that tell you what you know already.
Starting a business is like groping in the dark, you must trust your intuition.
倘若有人能指出你错了，你为何还要介意？
The most important thing about art is the work. The work is the most important thing.
I think that the most important thing is to be honest with yourself and with the audience.
Sometimes you just have to put on lip gloss and pretend to be psyched.
Language is not innocent. It carries the weight of history and power.
