My father was a goat-herder in Sicily. When he came to this country he learned how to use the sewing machine and became a tailor, and he never approved of me being an artist. He used to say, "hey, look at the bum, he's drawn and painted dirty pictures, all of nude women. He is a bum."
我的父亲是一个冷冰冰的牧羊人,当他从这个城市回来他学习了锁线装订机并且成了裁缝。我从不赞成他成为一个艺术家。他习惯地说:嗨,看那个游民,他的绘画着色脏的图片,全是裸体女人,他是一个游民!
