A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自我
Self
I was unpopular at school just because I was an intellectual. I always answered all the questions off the top of my head but they nevertheless resented because of that.
我在学校不受欢迎只是因为我是个知识分子。我总是不假思索地回答所有的问题，但他们还是因此而怨恨我。
We are too quick to put labels on things. It is my profession. I get up and paint. Everyone wants to put a label on it, but I am a free spirit, so I fight against that.
我们给事物贴上标签的速度太快了。这是我的职业。我起床画画。每个人都想给它贴上标签，但我是一个自由的灵魂，所以我反对它。
I found with this record I had to really be strong-willed, because in the past I've tended to tinker and add a thing or take a thing away, and nearly always been wrong.
我发现有了这张唱片，我必须要有坚强的意志，因为在过去，我总是喜欢修修补补，加一件东西或者拿走一件东西，而且几乎总是错的。
Here take back the stuff that I am, nature, knead it back into the dough of being, make of me a bush, a cloud, whatever you will, even a man, only no longer make me me.
在这里，拿回我的本性，把它揉回存在的面团，把我变成一丛灌木，一朵云，无论你想做什么，甚至一个人，只是不再把我变成我自己。
I distrust Great Men. They produce a desert of uniformity around them and often a pool of blood too, and I always feel a little man's pleasure when they come a cropper.
我不信任伟人。它们在周围形成了一片统一的沙漠，而且常常还会形成一滩血。每当它们倒下的时候，我总能感受到一个小个子男人的快乐。
I do get stopped a bit now and then, but I can go to the supermarket and on the Tube without being noticed. It's usually me that gets starstruck, especially by TV stars.
我确实偶尔会被人叫住，但我可以去超市，坐地铁而不被人发现。通常是我迷上了明星，尤其是电视明星。
I was no chief and never had been, but because I had been more deeply wronged than others, this honor was conferred upon me, and I resolved to prove worthy of the trust.
我既不是首领，也从来没有当过，但是因为我比别人受了更大的委屈，所以我被授予了这个荣誉，我决心证明自己是值得信赖的。
I am a total believer of making the process a good time - make it memorable, have some fun, try to shoot high in your quality and then don't get crazy, see what happens.
我完全相信要让整个过程变得愉快——让它令人难忘，有一些乐趣，试着拍出高质量的照片，然后不要发疯，看看会发生什么。
You hear the same work by different orchestras, different conductors, violinists, pianists, singers, and slowly, the work reveals itself and begins to live deeper in you.
你听到不同的管弦乐队、不同的指挥家、小提琴家、钢琴家、歌唱家演奏着同样的作品，慢慢地，这些作品就会显露出来，并开始在你的内心深处扎根。
I wanted nothing less than to be a fiction writer when I was a kid. If you had told me I would be an artist or novelist when I grew up, I would have laughed in your face.
当我还是个孩子的时候，我最想做的就是成为一名小说家。如果你告诉我长大后要当艺术家或小说家，我会当面笑话你。
I certainly don't want a child of mine to be famous, or anyone I was very close to who isn't yet... It's the worst thing to be trapped in your house not be able to leave.
我当然不希望我的孩子成名，或者任何和我很亲近但还没有成名的人……被困在家里不能离开是最糟糕的事情。
San Francisco can no longer afford to be a city divided between downtown and neighborhoods, with a downtown that becomes a ghost town when workers go home for the evening
旧金山再也不能成为一个被市中心和社区分割的城市，当工人们晚上回家时，市中心就会变成一座鬼城
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
My pride fell with my fortunes.
我的自尊心随着我的命运而下降。
It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.
这是一种奇特的感觉，一种双重意识，一种总是通过别人的眼睛来审视自己的感觉，一种用一根带子来衡量自己的灵魂的感觉，而这个带子上的世界却以一种嘲弄的轻蔑和怜悯的眼光看着我们。
I write and rewrite and rewrite and write and like to turn in what I think is finished work.
我写啊，写啊，写啊，写啊，喜欢把我认为已经完成的东西交上来。
I've worked with a lot of really fine actors, both on stage and on screen. The level of their game lifts me up and brings the level of my game up to theirs. Always. It's like a constant upgrade.
我和很多非常优秀的演员合作过，无论是在舞台上还是银幕上。他们的水平提升了我，也把我的水平提升到了他们的水平。总是这样。这就像一个持续的升级。
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。
Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better.
每天每个方面我的生活都正在好转。
