My mother-in-law speaks not a word of English. I speak not a word of Tajiki. So I smile at her ingratiatingly and she fixes me with a beady eye.

  • -- Wilbur Smith 威尔伯·史密斯

I feel that as artists - whatever your medium is - I feel that we're watching what goes on around us and we take what we don't see, or we don't hear, or we don't feel and we do something that speaks of it; more about it, for it, or against it - whatever our perspective is - that's what our job is.

我觉得，作为艺术家——无论你的媒介是什么——我觉得我们在观察我们周围发生的事情，我们把我们看不到的、听不到的、感觉不到的东西拿出来，然后我们做一些能说明这一点的事情;更多关于它，支持它，或者反对它——无论我们的观点是什么——这就是我们的工作。
