Why? Is it that you didn't feel you had gotten a fair shake from the critics or the establishment?
为什么?是不是你觉得评论家们和学院没有给你一个公正的评价?
评论家们我是不能抱怨的,但是学院的话.....它的却存在,好吧,不能说他们能像别人一样到你家里来了解这里发生了什么...........
The critics are what I can least complain about. And the establishment...well, it exists, and it's not as if they're going to come to your house to see what's happening. I also realize that I'm an extremely timid person and I don't like to annoy anybody. I go through torture when I have to ask for something, but with time you begin to understand that if you don't speak up, no one notices you, and that's just what they tell you all the time. The surprise was simply because I never imagined that I could reach that point, not by a long shot. Like when we had to fill in about the Max prizes; we did it, but I was reluctant. Maybe because I'm too involved in what I'm doing so I'm not concerned with other things, and somehow I don't think that's what artists are supposed to do. In any case, of all the things the prize brought, the best part was all the people who were happy for me and who telephoned. I was like when you're paralyzed and can't move, but everyone else, friends and everyone, that was the most moving thing.
