A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
演员表演
Actors And Acting
Acting provides the fulfillment of never being fulfilled. You're never as good as you'd like to be. So there's always something to hope for.
行动提供了从未实现的满足感。你永远不会像你想的那么好。所以总是有希望的。
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.
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。
More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic.
与其他表演艺术相比，对表演缺乏尊重似乎更多地源于这样一个事实:每个门外汉都认为自己是一个有效的批评家。
My advice to actresses is don't worry about your looks. The very thing that makes you unhappy in your appearance may be the one thing to make you a star.
我给女演员的建议是不要担心你的长相。让你在外表上不快乐的事情可能正是让你成为明星的一件事。
Rehearsals and screening rooms are often unreliable because they can't provide the chemistry between an audience and what appears on the stage or screen.
排练和放映室通常是不可靠的，因为它们不能提供观众和舞台或屏幕上出现的东西之间的化学反应。
Acting allows me to tell a lot of stories, you know start at the beginning, finish at the end, and tell everything in between. Modeling is just an image.
演戏让我能讲很多故事，你知道，从开头开始，到结尾结束，再到中间的一切。建模只是一个图像。
Actors are willing to give their entire lives to a moment--to that line, that laugh, that gesture, or that interpretation that will stir the audience's soul.
演员们愿意把自己的全部生命都献给一个时刻——为了那句台词，为了那笑声，为了那个手势，为了那个能触动观众灵魂的诠释。
Actors will never be replaced. The thought that somehow a computer version of a character is going to be something people prefer to look at is a ludicrous idea.
演员永远不会被取代。认为计算机版本的角色会成为人们喜欢看的东西，这是一个可笑的想法。
A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.
一本真正的好书教会我的比读它更好。我必须马上把它放下，开始按照它的暗示生活。我从读书开始，必须从表演结束。
My sister wanted to be an actress. She never made it, but she does live in a trailer... so she got halfway. She's an actress, she's just never called to the set.
我妹妹想当演员。她没能成功，但她住在拖车里…所以她做了一半。她是个演员，只是从来没有被叫到片场。
Acting is about covering up traces of who you are and just being the character. I think it's easier to accept people in roles if you don't know a lot about them.
演戏是为了掩盖你是谁的痕迹，仅仅是扮演这个角色。我认为如果你不太了解角色，就更容易接受他们。
Sometimes I think all my pictures are just pictures of me. My concern is... the human predicament; only what I consider the human predicament may simply be my own.
有时候我觉得我所有的照片都是我自己的照片。我担心的是……人类的困境;只有我认为人类的困境可能只是我自己的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I just arrive, they hand me a script and say, do it.
我刚到，他们递给我一个剧本，说，做吧。
Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself.
表演处理非常微妙的情感。这不是戴面具。每一次演员的表演他都不躲藏;他暴露了自己。
They were looking for actors - real actors - who could play instruments. There was a lot of improvisation and scene work involved in addition to the music. The auditions went on for a long time.
他们在寻找会演奏乐器的演员——真正的演员。除了音乐，还有很多即兴创作和现场工作。试镜持续了很长时间。
Acting is nothing more or less than playing. The idea is to humanize life.
表演只不过是玩耍。其理念是使生活人性化。
People often become actresses because of something they dislike about themselves: They pretend they are someone else.
人们成为女演员往往是因为他们不喜欢自己:他们假装自己是别人。
I should be getting photographs of me with my arm around these people like restaurant owners do, because eventually I am going to have to prove to my kids that once I was an actor!
我应该像餐馆老板那样，拍下我搂着这些人的照片，因为最终我必须向我的孩子们证明，我曾经是个演员!
