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。
So I find the fascination, the love, the incredible skill and everything to do with acting, writing plays, and doing them, just darling. Lovely. I love actors.
所以我发现这种魅力，这种爱，这种令人难以置信的技巧，以及一切与表演、写剧本和表演有关的东西，亲爱的。可爱。我喜欢的演员。
I am only an actress when they say, 'action' and I stop being an actress when they say, 'cut'. I am a normal person outside of acting.
当他们说“动作”时，我只是个演员，当他们说“切”时，我就不再是演员了。除了演戏，我是一个正常人。
The green-light meeting, when I first started at Paramount, would consist of maybe three or four of us in a room. Perhaps two or three of us would have read the script under discussion.
当我刚开始在派拉蒙公司工作时，这个绿灯会议可能只有我们三个或四个人在一个房间里。也许我们中会有两三个人读过正在讨论的剧本。
I don't want to be a star. If you have to label me anything, I'm an actor - I guess. A journeyman actor. I think 'star' is what you call actors who can't act.
我不想当明星。如果非要给我贴上什么标签的话，我想我是个演员。一个临时演员。我认为“明星”就是那些不会演戏的演员。
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。
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。
