A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
演员
Actor
For an actor to have a role that they're recognized and remembered for over the years, it's unusual. It's very lucky if it happens once - and it's luck that it's happened to me a couple of times.
对于一个演员来说，能扮演一个多年来被认可和记住的角色是不寻常的。如果这种事只发生一次，那是非常幸运的，而我也很幸运地经历过几次。
Actors have bodyguards and entourages not because anybody wants to hurt them - who would want to hurt an actor? - but because they want to get recognized. God forbid someone doesn't recognize them.
演员有保镖和随从，不是因为有人想伤害他们——谁会想伤害演员呢?-而是因为他们想被认可。但愿有人不认识他们。
As much as most of the actors were kind of curious to know what their character meant in relation to the script and to the plot, they really were quite happy to be part of the adventure of not knowing.
虽然大多数演员都有点好奇，想知道他们的角色在剧本和情节中意味着什么，但他们真的很高兴能参与到不知道的冒险中来。
Every actor I think has got their own number of takes that they like, you know. Some actors like to go all day, you know on the one scene and some actors want to take two takes. I personally like four.
我想每个演员都有自己喜欢的戏份。有些演员喜欢在一个场景里演一整天，有些演员想拍两场。我个人喜欢四个。
You spend enough time on set as an actor and it's great when a director was at some point an actor or understands acting. They're able to finesse performances out of you that a lot directors can't get.
作为一名演员，你在片场花费了足够的时间，当导演在某种程度上是一名演员或理解表演时，这是很棒的。他们能够巧妙地利用你的表演，这是很多导演无法做到的。
Psychoanalysis. Almost went three times - almost. Then I decided what was peculiar about me was probably what made me successful. I've seen some very talented actors go into analysis and really lose it.
心理分析。几乎跑了三次——几乎。然后我决定我的特别之处可能就是我成功的原因。我看到过一些非常有天赋的演员进入了分析领域，但却迷失了方向。
All the dialogue on tape, and we'd play the tape in performance. Then I thought it'd be interesting if the actor's repeated what they heard on the tape, but at a slower speed, so we'd get a web of language.
所有的对话都录在磁带上，我们会在表演时播放磁带。然后我想如果演员能以更慢的速度重复他们在磁带上听到的，那将会很有趣，这样我们就能得到一个语言网络。
So I was at the Actor's Studio, thinking about this, and I happened to glance over to the other side of the stage and I saw the ugliest chair I have ever seen. And I thought, 'Well, I could kill that chair!'
所以我在演员的工作室里，思考着这个问题，我偶然瞥了一眼舞台的另一边，我看到了我所见过的最丑的椅子。我想，‘好吧，我可以把那把椅子给杀了!’
There's editing, and scripts to read and edit, and casting, and all the elements of production that just sort of take up the normal downtime that you would have as an actor. So there's not a lot of that for me.
需要编辑，需要阅读和编辑脚本，需要选角，所有的制作元素都要占用演员的正常休息时间。所以对我来说没有那么多。
I think it's hard to know. Feeling fulfilled, because actors face periods of unemployment, there is nothing worse than being at the top of your game; you have so much to give but do not have the platform to do this.
我想这很难知道。感到满足，因为演员们面临失业的时期，没有什么比站在游戏的顶端更糟糕的了;你有那么多可以给予，却没有这个平台去做这件事。
When you're a child you're able to assimilate so easily into any situation. You even start talking like the people you're around. I wasn't conscious that I was so good at that until I started to truly feel like an actor.
当你还是个孩子的时候，你很容易就能适应任何环境。你甚至开始像周围的人一样说话。直到我开始真正感觉自己像个演员之前，我都没有意识到自己是如此擅长表演。
My tendency as an actor was to correct people, was to say, 'What if we tried it this way, what about if we tried that way?' That's terrible habit for an actor, but that's a good habit for director. So I became a director.
作为一名演员，我倾向于纠正人们的错误，我想说，‘如果我们这样做会怎样?如果我们那样做会怎样?’“这对演员来说是个坏习惯，但对导演来说是个好习惯。所以我成为了一名导演。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
To this day, I am the least materialistic person I know, because my father didn't raise me to just go out and buy this or that car. The only reason I wanted to make money as an actor was because I'm passionate about food!
直到今天，我仍然是我所认识的最不拜金主义的人，因为我的父亲抚养我长大，并不是为了让我出去买这辆或那辆车。我想当演员赚钱的唯一原因是因为我对食物充满激情!
Obviously an actor draws on his own experience.
很明显，演员是根据自己的经验来表演的。
I'm not crazy. I play a lot of crazy characters, but I'm an actor.
我不是疯了。我演过很多疯狂的角色，但我是个演员。
I'm kind of thinking that I might start trying to do some acting. I really enjoy role play.
我在想我可能要开始演戏了。我很喜欢角色扮演。
That's one of the reasons I wanted to be an actor, to be like them. And there they were at my table, all talking about how nervous they were, about the lines, and so forth. No matter how big you get, you still have the same kinds of anxieties and so forth.
这就是我想成为一名演员的原因之一，像他们一样。他们坐在我的桌旁，都在谈论他们有多紧张，谈论台词，等等。不管你变得多大，你仍然有同样的焦虑等等。
As an actor, I'm familiar with having bursts of energy, where you're giving things a try, and then you have down time.
作为一名演员，我很熟悉那种爆发力，你试着去做一件事，然后你就有了休息的时间。
