每位艺术家都将画笔浸入自己的灵魂，将自己的本性绘入画作。

That's exhilarating if you're doing well, and very crushing if you're not. It leads, in the worst cases -- in the analysis of a sociologist like Emil Durkheim -- it leads to increased rates of suicide. There are more suicides in developed, individualistic countries than in any other part of the world. And some of the reason for that is that people take what happens to them extremely personally -- they own their success, but they also own their failure.

I'm not a politician, I'm a performer. But I have a voice and I have a platform.

写作不是为了取悦别人，而是为了发现自己。
