I never felt I was quite the ticket academically. I always felt I had to put in an enormous amount of effort not to be disappointing. So I worked really hard, but at the time it suited me, because I didn't do very much else.

  • -- Emily Mortimer 艾米莉·莫蒂默

我从来没有觉得自己在学业上完全够格。我总是觉得我必须付出巨大的努力不让自己失望。所以我非常努力地工作,但在那个时候它很适合我,因为我没有做太多其他的事情。
