我认为
大多数的创造者
都想为得益于前人的成就
而表达感激

我没有发明语言或数学
我做饭很少 做衣服更是没有
我做的每件事都依赖于人类的其它成员
站在他们的肩膀之上

我们很多人想回馈
为人类做一点贡献
为历史长河增添点东西
便会以大众的方式
试着去表达一些东西
因为我们不会写鲍勃·迪伦的歌
或是汤姆·斯托帕德的剧

我们试着用我们仅有的天分
去表达我们深层的情感
去对前人所做出的所有贡献表示感激
去为那历史长河增添点东西
这 就是我的动力

I think most creative people want to express appreciation for being able to take advantage of the work that’s been done by others before us.

I didn’t invent the language or mathematics I use. I make little of my own food, none of my own clothes. Everything I do depends on other members of our species and the shoulders that we stand on.

And a lot of us want to contribute something back to our species and to add something to the flow. It’s about trying to express something in the only way that most of us know how — because we can’t write Bob Dylan songs or Tom Stoppard plays.

We try to use the talents we do have to express our deep feelings, to show our appreciation of all the contributions that came before us, and to add something to that flow. That’s what has driven me.
