A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
表演和演员
Acting and Actors
Acting is about acting, not about being a movie star.
表演就是表演，而不是成为电影明星。
I don't think I would be an actor if I was that intelligent.
如果我有那么聪明的话，我想我不会成为一名演员。
I act for the reality, for the moment, and most of all I do it for the process.
我为现实而行动，为此刻而行动，最重要的是为过程而行动。
Acting is the hardest job in the entire world. By far. Harder than ditch digging.
演戏是全世界最难的工作。到目前为止。比挖沟还难。
My act is sort of improvisational. I have a skeleton in my head, but no fat or skin on it.
我的表演有点即兴。我有一副骷髅头，但上面没有脂肪和皮肤。
I have often seen an actor laugh off the stage, but I don't remember ever having seen one weep.
我经常看到一个演员笑着走下舞台，但我不记得曾见过一个演员哭。
When you're an actor you don't really know what you have to do until you see what you look like.
当你是一个演员的时候，你并不知道你必须要做什么，直到你看到你的样子。
She said, and I'm not kidding, 'Is this a speaking role?' I wasn't quite sure how to answer that one.
她说，我不是在开玩笑，这是一个演讲角色吗?我不太确定该如何回答这个问题。
If all the circumstances of acting are made to easy, then there's no grain of sand to make the pearl.
如果所有的表演环境都变得容易，那么就没有一粒沙子可以做成珍珠。
In some ways, I've always approached singing as acting, and the voice is just like a way of carrying the song.
在某种程度上，我一直把唱歌当做表演，而声音就像一种承载歌曲的方式。
Love is as strict as acting. If you want to love somebody, stand there and do it. If you don't, don't. There are no other choices.
爱情和演戏一样严格。如果你想爱一个人，就站在那里去爱吧。如果你不喜欢，那就不要。没有其他选择。
Acting is not that far from mental disease: An actor works on splitting his character into others. It is like a kind of schizophrenia.
表演与精神疾病并无二异:演员致力于将自己的角色分解成其他角色。这就像一种精神分裂症。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
You don't have any kind of sense of being foolish when you are acting. When you're younger you don't want to look a fool, so you don't do things that might make you vulnerable.
当你在演戏的时候，你没有任何愚蠢的感觉。当你年轻的时候，你不想看起来像个傻瓜，所以你不会做一些可能会让你脆弱的事情。
Actors do tend to get pigeonholed. People want to know who you are so they can put you in a box. It's lovely to be known for such diametrically opposite roles.
演员确实容易被归类。人们想知道你是谁，这样他们就能把你放进一个盒子里。能以截然相反的角色为人所知真是太好了。
I went whole hog at the actor's lifestyle - really embraced it. I had by then known how much I loved acting already, because I discovered acting from a teacher in the seminary - that's the first place I ever did it, in the seminary.
我完全沉醉于这位演员的生活方式——真的很喜欢。那时我已经知道我有多喜欢表演了，因为我从神学院的老师那里发现了表演——那是我第一次表演，在神学院。
One of the pleasures of being an actor is quite simply taking a walk in someone else's shoes. And when I look at the roles I've played, I'm kind of amazed at all the wonderful adventures I've had and the different things I've learned.
当演员的乐趣之一就是换位思考。当我看到我所扮演的角色时，我对我所经历的所有奇妙的冒险和我学到的不同的东西感到惊讶。
When you consider that you're a character that doesn't speak, but you've still got to react to the other actors, you've got to make a noise of some kind.
当你认为你是一个不会说话的角色，但你仍然要对其他演员做出反应，你必须发出某种声音。
That's what I like about acting. When you're preparing for a role, you do your research, and the bonus is you get to learn these skills. Now, it's on to whatever the next thing is I have to learn.
这就是我喜欢演戏的原因。当你在为一个角色做准备时，你会做一些研究，你会学到这些技能。现在，接下来我要学习的是。
