I'm very comfortable in Argentina. I was raised there as a baby and stayed there until I was 11 years old, so the first decade of my life or my formative years were spent in Argentina. I stayed in tune with the food, music and language.
我在阿根廷很舒服。我小时候在那里长大,一直呆到11岁,所以我人生的第一个十年或是成长期都是在阿根廷度过的。我与食物、音乐和语言保持一致。
Photography, painting or poetry - those are just extensions of me, how I perceive things; they are my way of communicating.
摄影、绘画或诗歌——这些只是我的延伸,我是如何感知事物的;他们是我沟通的方式。
You know, real life doesn't just suddenly resolve itself. You have to keep working at it.
你知道,现实生活并不是突然间就解决的。你必须继续努力。
I have never been in a natural place and felt that it was a waste of time. I never have. And it's a relief. If I'm walking around a desert or whatever, every second is worthwhile.
我从来没有去过一个自然的地方,觉得这是浪费时间。我从来没有。这是一种解脱。如果我在沙漠里走来走去,每一秒都是值得的。
As far as money goes, there's a saying in Denmark: 'Your last suit doesn't have any pockets.' You can't take it with you. You can make all the money you want, but who cares?
说到钱,丹麦有句俗话:“你的最后一套西装没有口袋。”你不能随身携带。你想赚多少钱都行,但谁在乎呢?
It's true that I have a wide range of interests. I like to write and paint and make music and go walking on my own and garden. In fact, gardening is probably what I enjoy doing more than anything else.
我的兴趣确实很广泛。我喜欢写作,画画,做音乐,自己去花园散步。事实上,园艺可能是我最喜欢做的事。
I like stories that leave you wanting more, leave you wondering, but don't tell you everything.
我喜欢让你想要更多,让你疑惑的故事,但不要告诉你一切。
Saying you are a patriot does not make you one; wearing a flag pin does not in itself mean anything at all.
说你是爱国者并不代表你就是爱国者;佩带国旗别针本身并不意味着什么。
