愚蠢
Stupid

Of course voting is useful. But then again, I don't put a big glow to it. Voting is about as essential as washing yourself. It's something you're supposed to do. Now, you can't go around bragging, expecting to get props because you voted. That's stupid.
当然投票是有用的。不过话说回来,我并没有给它太大的亮点。投票就像洗澡一样重要。这是你应该做的。现在,你不能到处吹嘘,指望得到支持,因为你投票了。这是愚蠢的。
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。
