A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
演员
Actor
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!
My background is somewhat unusual, as I trained to be a ballet dancer. I worked in the theatre for eight or nine years as a contemporary dancer. But as an actor one does read Shakespeare and does try to learn the classics.
我的背景有些不同寻常，因为我受过芭蕾舞训练。我在剧院当了八九年的现代舞演员。但作为一名演员，你确实要读莎士比亚的作品，也要努力学习古典文学。
Being an actor gives you a chance to play all kinds of roles, very moving and dramatic on one project, silly and girlish on another. That's the most interesting thing out this business, you get to keep reinventing yourself.
作为一名演员，你有机会扮演各种各样的角色，在一个项目中非常感人和富有戏剧性，在另一个项目中又愚蠢又幼稚。这是这一行最有趣的事情，你要不断地重塑自己。
I mean, if you are directing actors to do one thing and then directing them to do something else entirely because the one thing you wanted them to do may not work, then you are just shattering their confidence in the project.
我的意思是，如果你在指导演员做一件事，然后又完全因为你想让他们做的那件事可能行不通而指导他们做另一件事，那么你只是在粉碎他们对这个项目的信心。
It's actually really great to be a student and an actor, because I get to do this job that I love, then just when I think my head might explode, I get to go to school where they don't really care about what magazine cover I'm on.
实际上，当一名学生和演员真的很棒，因为我可以做我喜欢的工作，当我觉得我的头可能会爆炸的时候，我就可以去学校，在那里他们并不真的关心我在做什么杂志封面。
The attitude of the actor is his interpretation of what he reads, and the written word is what creates the role in the actor's mind, and I guess in reading the things that were given to me, I reacted as you guys saw me, you know.
演员的态度是他对所读内容的诠释，而文字则是在演员脑海中创造角色的东西，我想当我读到别人给我的东西时，我的反应就像你们看到我一样。
I get a little jealous of these actor boys. They walk into a club, and in two seconds flat there are swarms of girls who are wanting so badly to touch them or just say hello. That's not the case with me, or any other girl I know.
我有点嫉妒这些男演员。他们走进一家俱乐部，两秒钟之内，一群女孩就迫不及待地想要触摸他们，或者只是打个招呼。我和我认识的其他女孩都不是这样。
As an actor there's a lot of scrutiny and, even when you've had success, it becomes about sustaining that success. A friend of mine described it as a peakless mountain. Even for De Niro there's Pacino and for Pacino there's De Niro.
作为一个演员，有很多审视，即使你已经成功了，也要保持成功。我的一个朋友把它描述成一座没有山峰的山。即使是德尼罗也有帕西诺，帕西诺也有德尼罗。
The fact of the matter is that when there are feelings involved and you like someone, it doesn't matter if you're an actor, a teacher, a doctor, a lawyer, a receptionist - you can't really help it when you have feelings for someone.
事实是，当你有感情牵涉其中，而且你喜欢某个人的时候，不管你是演员、老师、医生、律师还是接待员，当你对某个人有感情的时候，你真的无法控制自己。
Desperation is the perfume of the young actor. It's so satisfying to have gotten rid of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan.
绝望是年轻演员身上的香水味。把它处理掉真是太令人满意了。如果你一直闻它，它会让你发疯。在这个行业里，很多人会发疯，变得古怪，甚至死于这个行业。不是我的计划。
Actors use who they are to be someone else, but I would hate to ever think I'm playing myself. It's imagining being someone else that is the key motivating thing for me. So when people want to know about me, it makes me a bit unnerved.
演员们把自己塑造成另一个人，但我永远不会认为自己在扮演自己。想象成为另一个人是激励我的关键。所以当人们想了解我的时候，这让我有点紧张。
As a working actor, all I want to do is work. That's it. It's terrifying when you don't work. It's very hard when you don't work. There have been times when I've been out of work for like six months. I feel theatre to me is like manna.
作为一名演员，我想做的就是工作。就是这样。你不工作的时候很可怕。当你不工作的时候，这是非常困难的。有些时候，我已经失业六个月了。我觉得戏剧对我来说就像甘露。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
There's one thing better than having a great actor, and that's having a great actor who's never done this kind of role before and is hungry to do it. They're testing themselves every day. They want to get out of their trailer and get to work.
有一件事比有一个伟大的演员更好，那就是有一个伟大的演员从来没有演过这样的角色，并且渴望去演。他们每天都在测试自己。他们想走出拖车，开始工作。
I certainly was an actor and then I drifted more towards writing and directing.
我当然是一名演员，后来我更倾向于写作和导演。
You're always dealing with emotions as an actor.
作为一个演员，你总是在处理情感问题。
Where else do you find great directors? Acting is one of the places.
你还能在哪里找到伟大的导演?表演就是其中之一。
Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people's lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.
成为一名演员的部分原因是你喜欢扮演别人的生活，并在其中探索所有的心理和情感。
When I set out to become an actor, I had set myself a standard.
当我开始成为一名演员时，我给自己设定了一个标准。
