A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
演员表演
Actors And Acting
Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have. Being a good actor isn't easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I'm done.
当演员是世界上最孤独的事情。你的注意力和想象力都是独一无二的，这就是你所拥有的一切。做一个好演员并不容易。做一个男人更难。在结束之前，我想两者兼顾。
My illusions didn't have anything to do with being a fine actress, i knew how third rate i was. I could actually feel my lack of talent, as if it were cheap clothes i was wearing inside. But, my God, how i wanted to learn, to change, to improve!
我的幻想与成为一名优秀的演员没有任何关系，我知道我是多么的三流。我真的能感觉到自己缺乏天赋，就好像里面穿的是廉价衣服一样。但是，我的上帝，我多么想学习，改变，提高!
To act with common sense according to the moment, is the best wisdom I know; and the best philosophy is to do one's duties, take the world as it comes, submit respectfully to one's lot; bless the goodness that has given us so much happiness with it,
我所知道的最好的智慧，就是根据当时的情况，用常识行事;最好的哲学是尽自己的责任，顺其自然，恭敬地服从自己的命运;上帝保佑赐予我们如此多幸福的善良，
I had to think ahead. How much would I really enjoy committing five or seven years to working on this? When you're an unemployed actor offered a TV pilot, no matter who you are you're tempted by the good hunk of change to be made. It keeps you out of the unemployment line.
我必须提前考虑。我有多喜欢投入五七年的时间来做这件事?当你是一个失业的演员，得到了一个电视节目试播员的职位，不管你是谁，你都会被要做出的改变所吸引。它让你远离失业线。
Most of my actor friends don't believe it's possible to let go of it and be happy, and for a while that was true for me. For the first two years I ached, every day. And I had such bad dreams. But then I made the decision to start working on my little shop and all that went away.
我的大多数演员朋友都不相信放手就能快乐起来，有一段时间我就是这么认为的。头两年我每天都很痛苦。我做了这么糟糕的梦。但后来我决定开始我的小店的工作，所有这些都消失了。
Goethe said, 'Talent is developed in privacy, ' you know?And it's really true. There is a need for aloneness which i don't think most people realize for an actor. It's almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you'll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you're acting.
歌德说过，“天赋是在隐私中培养出来的，”你知道吗?这是真的。对于一个演员来说，孤独是有必要的，但我认为大多数人并没有意识到这一点。当你在演戏的时候，你几乎为自己保守了一些秘密，而这些秘密只会让整个世界知道一小会儿。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I just continue to look for different material, great material, as good as I can find, and try to go in there and do as good a job as I can do in making it a record. That's all you can expect. That's all that you can do.
我只是继续寻找不同的素材，我能找到的最好的素材，然后试着去做，尽我所能把它做成一张唱片。这就是你所能期望的。这就是你能做的。
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。
But I have fun with the fright, work with it. You have to - that's your timing, that beat of excitement. And when I go on stage, it's just like taking a step into heaven. Poof, you know? Poof - and there I am.
但我从恐惧中得到乐趣，和它一起工作。你必须——那是你的时机，那激动的节拍。当我走上舞台时，就像走进了天堂。噗,你知道吗?噗——我来了。
Actors who have tried to play Churchill and MacArthur have failed abysmally because each of those men was a great actor playing himself.
曾尝试扮演丘吉尔和麦克阿瑟的演员都以惨败告终，因为他们都是扮演自己的伟大演员。
It is scary for an actor when you get hired as a lead. No matter what the plot is, it is your job to do something interesting enough to make them want to get inside the lead character's head.
当你被一个演员聘为主角时，他会很害怕。不管情节如何，你的工作就是做一些足够有趣的事情，让他们想进入主角的大脑。
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。
