A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自我
Self

In my childhood I always felt that I was treated unjustly, without a mother, sick, and with the threat of punishment in Hell hanging over my head.
在我的童年时代,我总是觉得我受到了不公正的对待,没有母亲,生病了,我的头上悬着地狱的惩罚的威胁。
I'll never feel comfortable taking a strong drink, and I'll never feel easy smoking a cigarette. I just don't think those things are right for me.
我从来都不习惯喝烈性酒,抽烟也从来都不习惯。我只是觉得那些东西不适合我。
To look is one thing, to see is another thing; to see is very difficult, normally; to look is to try to see. I have looked and I hope I have seen.
看是一回事,看又是另一回事;正常情况下,看东西是很困难的;去看就是去尝试去看。我已经看见了,我希望我已经看见了。
There were days that I worked all the time, without a layoff, or a rest, finishing one picture and reporting for another sometimes on the same day.
有那么几天,我一直在工作,没有被裁员,也没有休息,有时在同一天完成一张照片,然后为另一张报告。
I'm always surprised at what I actually end up doing because I don't have a strategy or a game plan, especially now that I'm making my own choices.

I was born on the prairies where the wind blew free and there was nothing to break the light of the sun. I was born where there were no enclosures.
我出生在大草原上,那里自由地吹着风,没有什么能打破阳光。我出生在没有围栏的地方。
Madam your wife and I didn't hit it off the only time I ever saw her. I won't say she was silly, but I think one of us was silly, and it wasn't me.

Sporadic thoughts will pop into my head and I'll have to go write something down, and the next thing you know I've written a whole song in an hour.
我脑子里会突然冒出一些零星的想法,我得去写点东西,然后你知道的,我在一个小时内就写完了整首歌。
I've always had a natural affiliation with nature. If I wasn't an actor, I'd be some sort of biologist working in the field in Africa or something.

I began drinking alcohol at the age of thirteen and gave it up in my fifty sixth year; it was like going straight from puberty to a mid-life crisis.
我十三岁开始喝酒,到五十六岁就戒掉了。这就像直接从青春期进入中年危机。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.
我们必须敢于做我们自己,不管这个自我是多么可怕或奇怪。
I'm not a good time-off person. I'm awful on holiday. It comes from having that period when I didn't work. That really was the worst bit.

The best thing I've learned is, if you're going out, never go out alone - you leave yourself vulnerable. If you've got someone else there you trust, they can say, be wary of that person. I probably used to be too trusting of people.
我学到的最好的一件事是,如果你要出去,永远不要一个人出去——你会让自己变得脆弱。如果你信任另外一个人,他们会说,小心那个人。我以前可能太信任别人了。
