A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
故事
Story
When I write an original story I write about people I know first-hand and situations I'm familiar with. I don't write stories about the nineteenth century.
当我写一个原创的故事时，我写的是我直接认识的人和我熟悉的情况。我不写关于十九世纪的故事。
I feel like I've come out of this grown up, maybe because I live through the character vicariously and she grows up so much during the course of this story.
我觉得我已经长大了，也许是因为我通过这个角色来生活，而她在这个故事的过程中成长了很多。
I've been spoiled by this project. I was given the script and went in to read, realizing that this was a powerful story and one that wasn't told very often.
我被这个项目宠坏了。我拿到剧本，开始读，意识到这是一个强大的故事，一个不常被讲述的故事。
I go out and look for a good story to tell and if I like it enough and I decide to direct it, I become dangerously involved in becoming a part of that story.
我出去寻找一个好故事来讲述，如果我足够喜欢它，并决定导演它，我就会危险地卷入其中，成为这个故事的一部分。
Whoever places his trust into a system will soon be without a home. While you are building your third story, the two lower ones have already been dismantled.
无论谁把自己的信任托付给一个体系，他很快就会无家可归。当你正在建造你的第三层楼时，下面的两层已经拆除了。
The awful thing, as a kid reading, was that you came to the end of the story, and that was it. I mean, it would be heartbreaking that there was no more of it.
作为一个阅读的孩子，最糟糕的事情是你读到了故事的结尾，就是这样。我的意思是，如果没有了它，那将是令人心碎的。
We're telling a story. And the demands of that are different from the demands of a documentary. The audience must believe in order to keep faith in the story.
我们在讲一个故事。这与纪录片的要求是不同的。为了对故事保持信心，观众必须相信。
It all goes back, of course, to Adam and Eve - a story which shows among other things, that if you make a woman out of a man, you are bound to get into trouble.
当然，这一切都可以追溯到亚当和夏娃——这个故事告诉我们，如果你把一个女人变成一个男人，你一定会遇到麻烦。
So, too, how you tell your story has a great deal to do with how you feel about the circumstances in your life and which direction your story is going to go in.
所以，你如何讲述你的故事也与你对生活环境的感受以及你的故事的发展方向有很大关系。
I love books. I love that moment when you open one and sink into you can escape from the word, into a story that's way more interesting than yours will ever be.
我爱书。我喜欢这样的时刻，当你打开一个故事，沉浸其中，你就可以逃离这个世界，沉浸在一个比你的故事更有趣的故事里。
Tell the story as if it were only of interest to the small circle of your characters, of which you may be one. There is no other way to put life into the story.
讲述这个故事，就好像它只是你的一小部分角色感兴趣，而你可能就是其中之一。没有其他方法可以把生活融入这个故事。
Do the story in the way it really demands to be done, which may mean using several different styles or only one style; but it's still about respecting the story.
按照故事真正需要的方式来写，这可能意味着使用几种不同的风格或者只有一种风格;但还是要尊重故事本身。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order.
一个故事应该有开头、中间和结尾……但不一定是这个顺序。
A biopic would have required hiring an actor, and I always wanted to just let Bobby be Bobby. My thought was it would make it a more universal story to focus on ordinary people rather than this extraordinary man.
传记片需要雇一个演员，我一直想让鲍比演鲍比。我的想法是，把焦点放在普通人身上，而不是这个非凡的人，会让这个故事变得更加普遍。
I never take ideas from the headlines. I feel that if a story is good enough, a real story that is, then it's already been covered by the media, and if it's not good enough, why would I want to bother with it?
我从不从头条新闻中汲取灵感。我觉得如果一个故事足够好，一个真实的故事，那么它就已经被媒体报道过了，如果它不够好，我为什么还要为它费心呢?
And what it depends on, of course, is whether the story itself is worth the ethical compromise it requires and whether the competition is onto the story.
当然，这取决于故事本身是否值得它所要求的道德妥协，以及竞争是否与故事有关。
Sometimes the hardest story to tell is your own.
有时候最难讲的故事是你自己的。
Every strong swimmer has a story about nearly drowning.
每个强壮的游泳者都有过溺水的经历。
