A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
东西
Something
I never consciously said, 'I want to be an actor.' It sounds stupid, but it's kind of like being a painter or something. You don't say, 'From today on I'm going to be a painter.' It's not something conscious - you've just been painting pictures all your life.
我从来没有有意识地说过,‘我想成为一名演员。“这听起来很傻,但有点像当画家什么的。你不能说,‘从今天起,我要成为一名画家。“这不是什么有意识的东西——你只是一直在画画。
I started working professionally as soon as I could, doing weddings and things like that in high school, while everyone else was having keg parties. I just felt destined to do it and really committed and driven; it was something that just felt right all my life.
我尽可能快地开始了我的职业生涯,在高中的时候,当其他人都在开酒桶派对的时候,我在做婚礼之类的事情。我只是觉得自己命中注定要这么做,而且真的很投入,很有动力;这是我一生中都觉得对的事情。
So my own suspicion is that the attorney has stopped this prosecution because part of her defence was to question legality and that would have brought his advice into the public domain again and there was something fishy about the way in which he said war was legal.
所以我个人的怀疑是,律师已经停止了起诉,因为她辩护的一部分是质疑合法性,这将把他的建议再次带入公共领域,他说战争是合法的方式有些可疑。
The two designs are completely different. The first is totally futuristic, the second is more classical. You can of course get very excited about doing something completely out of the ordinary, just like the Olympic stadium in its time. But each to his or her own taste.
这两种设计完全不同。第一个完全是未来主义的,第二个更经典。你当然可以对做一些完全不同寻常的事情感到非常兴奋,就像当时的奥林匹克体育场一样。但每个人都有自己的口味。
I don't dismiss the music that I was involved with, I don't think it was a joke, I don't think it was funny or a phase, I don't think it was just something I was doing back then, to me it was who I am. It connects all the way through. I don't distance myself from any of it.
我不否认我所参与的音乐,我不认为这是一个笑话,我不认为这是一个有趣的阶段,我不认为这只是我当时在做的事情,对我来说,这就是我。它连接了所有的路径。我不会让自己远离任何事情。
I used to believe, like many people who come from poor backgrounds, that it gave me an edge, but I think that's just something we have to tell ourselves to get by sometimes. I don't believe that anymore. Children of privilege can be just as talented and clever as anybody else.
我曾经相信,就像许多来自贫困家庭的人一样,这给了我一种优势,但我认为这只是我们有时必须告诉自己的事情。我再也不相信了。特权阶层的孩子也可以和其他人一样有才华和聪明。
I knew that I needed to do something that I desperately loved. There was a period where I did question if it was acting because I knew that I would be making things hard on myself. I knew that there was going to be a little bit of a hullabaloo because of my dad being who he is and all that.
我知道我需要做一些我极度热爱的事情。有一段时间,我确实怀疑这是不是在演戏,因为我知道这样做会让自己处境艰难。我知道会有一场小小的骚动,因为我爸爸就是这样的人。
Most of the time when I receive a script, it says something like 'Rosenberg is the fat, slovenly Mayor, who doesn't want the kids to use the skateboard park', or 'Stein is a pompous, rotund attorney, imposing to all.' It would be so freeing to get a script where my character is simply described as 'A Man'.
大多数时候,当我收到一份手稿时,上面写着类似这样的话:“罗森博格是一个肥胖、邋遢的市长,他不想让孩子们使用滑板公园”,或者“斯坦是一个自负、肥胖的律师,强加于所有人”。“如果能得到一个剧本,把我的角色简单地描述为‘一个男人’,那就太自由了。”
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Every time you get something, give something away.
每次你得到一些东西,就送出去一些。
It is precisely as though I were possessed by some other spirit when I enter on a new task of acting, as though something within me presses a switch and my own consciousness merges into some other, greater, more vital being.
当我开始一项新的行动任务时,我仿佛完全被另一种精神控制住了,仿佛我内心的某种东西按了一下开关,我自己的意识就融入了另一种更伟大、更有活力的存在之中。
Have a bias toward action - let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
对行动有偏见——让我们看看现在发生了什么。你可以把这个大计划分解成小步骤,然后马上迈出第一步。
If you want something you've never had then you've got to do something you've never done.
如果你想要一些你从未拥有过的东西,那么你必须做一些你从未做过的事情。
What the Beatles did was something incredible, it was more than what a band could do. We have to give them respect.
甲壳虫乐队所做的是一件不可思议的事,它超越了一个乐队所能做的。我们必须尊重他们。
That's why I survived because I still believe I've got something to say.
这就是我活下来的原因,因为我仍然相信我还有话要说。
