A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Acting
I don't remember a time when I wasn't acting. I have taken time off to figure out if it's what I really want to do, and it is. The only other job I'd want is to be a psychologist, as I spend most of my time analyzing people and emotions.
我不记得我什么时候不演戏了。我已经抽出时间去弄清楚这是否是我真正想做的，而且确实是。我唯一想做的另一份工作就是成为一名心理学家，因为我的大部分时间都花在分析人和情感上。
I always think that I love doing what I'm doing at the moment. The past is over. I can't go play one of those characters again. But I can play this and I can continue to grow in what I'm doing at the moment and that's really what I'm thinking about now.
我总是认为我喜欢做我现在正在做的事情。过去的已经过去了。我不能再演那些角色了。但我可以玩这个，我可以继续在我现在所做的事情中成长，这就是我现在真正想的。
Listen, acting is not surgery, it's entertainment. You're doing something to hopefully move people, to make them laugh, to transport them. But actors are vulnerable, and the reason we're vulnerable is that we're always trying to recreate human behaviour.
听着，表演不是手术，是娱乐。你所做的是希望能够感动人们，让他们欢笑，让他们感动。但是演员是脆弱的，而我们脆弱的原因是我们总是试图重建人类的行为。
Now supposing I had the part of a young woman to give out, one that wanted some excellent acting. If I were to go to the stage for my actress I would have to take a matured woman, one who would act splendidly, but who would look too old for the requirements.
现在假设我要扮演一个年轻女人的角色，一个需要出色表演的角色。如果我要为我的女演员上舞台，我就得选一个成熟的女人，她会表现得很出色，但她看起来太老了，不符合要求。
In any case, his judgment and set of values, acting alone or through his assistants, determine not only what is gold and what is dross but the design of the history which he creates out of the metal. The historian decides what is significant, and what is not.
无论如何，他的判断和价值观，无论是单独行动还是通过他的助手，不仅决定了什么是黄金，什么是糟粕，而且还决定了他用金属创造的历史的设计。历史学家决定什么是重要的，什么不是。
One of the things about acting is it allows you to live other people's lives without having to pay the price. I've never been one of those actors who has touted myself as a fascinating human being. I had to decide early on whether I was to be an actor or a personality.
演戏的好处之一是，它让你不用付出代价就能过别人的生活。我从来不是那种把自己吹嘘成一个迷人的人的演员。我不得不很早就决定是当演员还是当演员。
Before acting, I wanted to become a journalist. I also toyed with the idea of being a chef - but that's only when people asked me what I wanted to be. In fact, I always used to say I wanted to be an actor, but I didn't ever believe that I was good enough to be come one.
在演戏之前，我想成为一名记者。我也有过当厨师的想法，但那只是当人们问我想做什么的时候。事实上，我总是说我想成为一名演员，但我从来都不相信我有能力成为一名演员。
I really need to work. People think that I'm no longer interested in acting and only interested in working with the animals. Obviously I have given that impression, but it is not how I feel. I think I'm a good actor. I think I look OK. I don't understand why I'm not working all the time.
我真的需要工作。人们认为我不再对表演感兴趣，而只对和动物们一起工作感兴趣。很明显，我给人的印象是这样的，但我的感觉不是这样的。我觉得我是个好演员。我想我看起来不错。我不明白为什么我不是一直在工作。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
As a measure of acting skills, film can be very deceptive.
作为一种衡量演技的标准，电影可能具有很强的欺骗性。
My acting ability would have sent me back to the post office. It was my singing that got me jobs. Ironically, now, people think of me as an actor and don't know me much as a singer.
我的演技会把我送回邮局的。是我的歌声让我找到了工作。讽刺的是，现在，人们认为我是一个演员，而不知道我是一个歌手。
Acting is always a challenge.
表演总是一个挑战。
You have to be really open to your acting partners and believe in the story.
你必须对你的表演搭档敞开心扉，并且相信这个故事。
I've always wanted to play a spy, because it is the ultimate acting exercise. You are never what you seem.
我一直想扮演一个间谍，因为这是终极的表演练习。你永远不是你看上去的样子。
Acting's more of a business for me now.
现在演戏对我来说更像是一门生意。
