I don't know to what extent someone can BECOME an artist - you either are or you aren't - and if you are you'll HAVE to make your way to some kind of sickly light, no matter how terrible the soil you were seeded in your nature will out somehow.
我不知道一个人能在多大程度上成为一名艺术家——你是或者不是——如果你是，你将不得不走向某种病态的光明，不管你在你的天性中播下了多么可怕的土壤，总会以某种方式消失。
