A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Review

I remember I read this harsh review about my show, and one of my friends told me that this was the exact same stuff people said about Madonna. And it's like, she didn't care. Madonna just came out and was herself. I respect that a lot.

我记得我读过一篇关于我的演出的严厉评论,我的一个朋友告诉我,这和人们对麦当娜的评论完全一样。就像,她不在乎。麦当娜就这样走了出来,做了她自己。我很尊重这一点。

I found out about reviews early on. They're mostly written by sad men on bad afternoons. That's probably why I'm less angry than some writers, who are so narcissistic they consider every line of every review, even a thoughtful one, as major treason.

我很早就发现了评论。它们大多是悲伤的人在糟糕的下午写的。这可能就是为什么我没有一些作家那么愤怒的原因,他们是如此自恋,他们认为每一篇评论的每一行,甚至是一个深思熟虑的评论,都是重大的背叛。

Prolonged, indiscriminate reviewing of books is a quite exceptionally thankless, irritating and exhausting job. It not only involves praising trash but constantly inventing reactions towards books about which one has no spontaneous feeling whatever.

长时间、不分青红皂白地读书是一项特别吃力不讨好、令人恼火和筋疲力尽的工作。它不仅包括赞美垃圾,还包括不断地对那些没有任何自然感觉的书做出反应。

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT

给此刻的你,一点向前的力量。
