Taña ha dado una vez más en el clavo.
Esta sería una forma de transmitir la idea en español, por si te sirve.

luchando por pertenecer a esa selecta minoría que pasa del otro lado del embudo -o que sale entero de la picadora de carne del sistema, para ser más exactos- no tiene demasiado tiempo para pensar por qué decidió ser artista en primera instancia o de hacerse esas preguntas que debería renovar varias veces en su vida. ¿qué es el arte? ¿Qué sentido tiene ser artista?

"Having come out the other side of the wringer myself, I now operate in a very black-and-white way."

"Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit flat, but it sounds like you've come out the other side of the wringer..."

Wringer has a fairly literal meaning (“one that wrings, such as a machine or device for pressing out liquid or moisture”), which is much less in use nowadays than it once was; before the ubiquity of electric clothes dryers, wringers were considerably more common. The word also has a figurative meaning (“something that causes pain, hardship, or exertion”), which has eclipsed the laundering sense. The idiom through the wringer refers to having been through a series of very difficult or unpleasant experiences. This idiom came about in the early 20th century, and in initial use the experience it referred to was often that of questioning.
