"我认为在每一个艺术家的生活中，有时你必须在容易的道路和正确的道路之间做出选择。"

So, let's break this down: every artist faces moments where they're standing at a crossroads. One path's smooth and simple—it might be tempting to take because, hey, who doesn't love easy? But the other path, the right one, is often tougher and full of challenges. The essence here is about integrity and the tough choices that come with sticking to your true vision, even when it’s hard.

Think about the life of Vincent van Gogh. He was constantly struggling, both financially and emotionally. It would have been so much easier for him to paint what was popular at the time or to give up entirely. But he didn't. He kept painting what he felt deeply connected to—his own unique vision. History shows us how that choice, the harder one, led to his art eventually being celebrated worldwide.

Now, imagine you're a writer. You’ve been working on a novel for years, pouring your heart into it, but it's unconventional. A publisher comes along and says, "This is good, but if you change the plot to fit more mainstream tastes, we'll publish you." This is your crossroads moment. Do you alter your story to make it more marketable, or do you stick with your original vision? The easy path might get you published quickly, but it could also mean sacrificing your authenticity. The right path, while riskier, keeps your integrity intact.

So, how do you apply this in real life? First, get clear on your values and the core message you want your art to convey. When a choice presents itself, measure it against these values. Does it align with what you believe in? If it doesn't, it might be the easy path trying to lure you in. Stay aware of why you started your creative journey in the first place.

Now, picture this: You're a young filmmaker. You've put together a script that's deeply personal, something that speaks to your experiences and the stories you think need to be told. An investor shows interest but wants to change key elements to make it more "commercial." You're at a coffee shop with a friend, talking it over. They say, "Look, you can do what they want and get the funding, but will you be happy with the final product? Will it still be your movie?"

This conversation helps you realize that while the easy path might bring immediate rewards, the right path—sticking to your vision—means creating something you're truly proud of. It’s not about stubbornness; it’s about authenticity. And when you think about it, the art that resonates most deeply with people often comes from those who chose the right path, despite its difficulties.

In the end, it’s about making choices that align with who you are and the legacy you want to leave. It’s a mix of courage, patience, and a bit of stubbornness. And remember, every time you face one of these crossroads, it’s an opportunity to reaffirm your commitment to your art and to yourself.
