A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
认为
Thought
From the beginning I thought about working with the body in movement, the space between the body and clothes. I wanted the clothes to move when people moved. The clothes are also for people to dance or laugh.
从一开始,我就在思考身体的运动,身体和衣服之间的空间。我想让衣服随着人们的移动而移动。这些衣服也可以让人们跳舞或大笑。
If it all just happens like this for the rest of my life, it's going to be one endless Groundhog Day. I determined that I was not prepared to submit to this regime, so I thought I had to do something about it.
如果我的余生都是这样度过的,那么这将是一个无尽的土拨鼠日。我决定我不准备屈服于这个制度,所以我想我必须做点什么。

我想他们可能对那些不是喜剧演员的人对某些事情的了解太多了。像蒙特利尔。一个喜剧演员知道它是什么和它的重要性,但是其他人可能不知道。
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.

I got this call that they wanted me to join this cast. They called it a family show, and it thought that it would be similar to all family shows. I wasn't sure about this until I watched some tapes, and was amazed.
我接到电话,他们要我加入这个剧组。他们称其为家庭秀,并认为这将是类似于所有的家庭秀。直到我看了一些录像带,我才确定这一点。
The moral effect of the thundering of one's own artillery is most extraordinary, and many of us thought that we had never heard any more welcome sound than the deep roaring and crashing that started in at our rear.

我以为我看到了他的本来面目——或者我以为他的本来面目。毫无疑问,他很有天赋。但是,他认为他的天赋是建立在痛苦之上的,如果他变得快乐,他的天赋就会消失。他相信。
Music should probably provide answers in terms of lyrical content, and giving people a sense of togetherness and oneness, as opposed to being alone in their thoughts and dilemmas or regrets or happiness or whatever.
音乐应该提供抒情内容的答案,给人们一种团结一致的感觉,而不是一个人在他们的思想,困境,遗憾,幸福或其他方面。
They sent me some tapes of the original Mole and I thought it was pretty intriguing. I'm sort of an experimenter; I thought it'd be interesting to play around and see what's there. It was fun. Turned out to be good.

I did the one concert, and I was not bitten by the conducting bug, and I thought I was done, but then the phone started to ring, and gradually, over time, I started conducting more and more. Now a third of my performances are with orchestras.

When I began I thought that literature was contained within a bubble that somehow floated above the world commented upon by newspapers. But I became more and more interested in trying to include some of that world within my work.
当我开始写作的时候,我认为文学被包含在一个泡沫中,这个泡沫以某种方式漂浮在报纸评论的世界之上。但我越来越有兴趣尝试在我的作品中融入一些这样的世界。
