Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich mochte malen und zeichnen, weil das einzige Versagen darin bestand, den Zweiflern zuzuhören, die aufhören sollten, zu zeichnen und zu malen, weil "Sie damit keinen Lebensunterhalt verdienen werden." Ich schaute gern in Kunstbüchern auf die Arbeit von Malern.

I realise having work done makes you look older - and everyone's starting to look the same, which is a problem. I've admitted that I had a cyst removed from my lip and had it filled - I had to; the lip was half gone. And I've tried Botox, but I don't do it any more. I'd tell anyone who's going to have it done not to do it.
