A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自我
Self
I try to keep performing as much as possible - I just like to. I used to take huge gaps off between gigs, now I just like to do stand-up gigs as much as I can.
我努力保持尽可能多的表演——我就是喜欢。我以前在演出之间会有很大的间隙，现在我喜欢尽可能多地做单人表演。
The very use of the word savage, as it is applied in its general sense, I am inclined to believe is an abuse of the word, and the people to whom it is applied.
“野蛮人”一词在一般意义上的使用，我倾向于认为，它本身就是对这个词的滥用，以及对它所适用的人民的滥用。
Deals are my art form. Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals. That's how I get my kicks.
交易是我的艺术形式。其他人在画布上画得很漂亮，或者写得很好。我喜欢做交易，最好是大交易。我就是这样获得快感的。
Work and live to serve others, to leave the world a little better than you found it and garner for yourself as much peace of mind as you can. This is happiness.
工作和生活是为了服务他人，为了让这个世界比你发现它时更美好一点，为自己争取尽可能多的内心平静。这是幸福。
The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self, the Soul, the very source of our being. That's where the music lives. That's where my music comes from.
平静的头脑允许一个人与内在的自我，灵魂，我们存在的源头相联系。那就是音乐存在的地方。这就是我音乐的来源。
You are undoubtedly acquainted with my Reputation, and as for my Penmanship it must speak for itself; this is to desire your Approbation to keep a public school.
你一定知道我的名声，至于我的书法，那就不言而喻了。这是希望你同意保留一所公立学校。
Of course life is bizarre, the more bizarre it gets, the more interesting it is. The only way to approach it is to make yourself some popcorn and enjoy the show.
当然，生活是奇怪的，它变得越奇怪，就越有趣。唯一的方法就是给自己做些爆米花，然后享受这个节目。
Even in high school I was very interested in history - why people do the things they do. As a kid I spent a lot of time trying to relate the past to the present.
甚至在高中我就对历史很感兴趣——为什么人们会做他们所做的事情。当我还是个孩子的时候，我花了很多时间试图把过去和现在联系起来。
You know it's my job to visualize, what is literal or audible, so I designed all the characters, and I designed what they do and how they should do it and so on.
我的工作就是把文字或声音形象化，所以我设计了所有的角色，我设计了他们做什么，他们应该怎么做，等等。
I love a lot of things, and I'm pretty much obsessive about most things I do, whether it be gardening, or architecture, or music. I'd be an obsessive hairdresser.
我喜欢很多东西，我对自己做的大多数事情都很着迷，不管是园艺、建筑还是音乐。我会成为一个痴迷的理发师。
I am still interested in the long or serial poem, but have written a few smaller things. I may start sending to journals again in a year or so... that's about it.
我仍然对长诗或系列诗感兴趣，但写了一些较小的东西。我可能会在一年左右的时间里再次给杂志投稿……仅此而已。
I talked to the record company about what I had in mind. They said they wanted something lush. I figured the best thing to do was let them hear what I had in mind.
我和唱片公司谈了我的想法。他们说他们想要一些茂盛的东西。我想最好的办法就是让他们听到我的想法。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

I still find it almost impossible to relax for more than one day at a time.
我仍然觉得一次放松超过一天几乎是不可能的。
In a sacred ground like marriage, you find yourself out of it at certain times for reasons unknown that can be destructive. There could be a demon that kind of comes out and overtakes you.
在像婚姻这样神圣的地方，你会发现自己在某些时候会因为未知的原因而远离它，这可能是毁灭性的。可能会有一个恶魔出来，控制你。
I realized how important it was to know something about aviation, and it was something I was interested in, so I followed my brother's footsteps and obtained my pilot's license.
