A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
尝试
Trying
In life it wasn't what you know, but who you know. I had people who were trying to buy teams and had they bought the teams, I would have gotten to coach because they wanted me to coach. But the people who have the teams hire their friends.
在生活中，重要的不是你知道什么，而是你认识谁。有些人想买球队，如果他们买了，我就能当教练，因为他们想让我当教练。但是有团队的人会雇佣他们的朋友。
We have the script, we have the actors, and we're trying to figure out what this is, and you don't know what it is. You have to be open to what it's going to become rather than have this thing that you're trying to get to, which is boring.
我们有剧本，有演员，我们试着弄清楚这是什么，而你不知道这是什么。你必须对它的未来持开放的态度，而不是去做一件无聊的事情。
Before the decathlon I'm constantly trying to convince myself that I want to do this, that I want to take myself to that place where it's going to hurt and things are going to be tough. But that's like anything - you want to give your best.
在十项全能比赛之前，我一直试图说服自己，我想做这件事，我想把自己带到一个会受伤的地方，那里的事情会很艰难。但这就像任何事情一样——你想要尽你最大的努力。
When I'm writing, I'm trying to immerse myself in the chaos of an emotional experience, rather than separate myself from it and look back at it from a distance with clarity and tell it as a story. Because that's how life is lived, you know?
当我写作的时候，我试着让自己沉浸在一种情感体验的混乱中，而不是把自己和它分离开来，从远处清晰地回顾它，把它当作一个故事来讲述。因为这就是生活，你知道吗?
I think the challenge is going out in front of a paying audience with absolutely nothing and trying to entertain them for two hours. Thankfully, I only think about that right before we go on, and then once we're out there, everything's fine.
我认为挑战在于，在付费观众面前，什么都不做，却想让他们开心两个小时。谢天谢地，我只是在我们继续之前才想到这个，然后一旦我们到了那里，一切就都好了。
I do know one thing: I wish people were doing more dangerous musicals, more courageous musicals and not just falling into the trap of trying to figure out what the public wants, because you find out that the public very often wants what's good.
我只知道一件事:我希望人们能演更多危险的音乐剧，更勇敢的音乐剧，而不是陷入试图弄清楚公众想要什么的陷阱，因为你会发现，公众往往想要的是好的。
However, I don't feel the world is looking over my shoulder when I am working - I never think about this at all. What I think about is trying to make my work pure, and if it is pure then it can be accessible. It is quite straight forward really.
然而，当我工作的时候，我并不觉得整个世界都在看着我——我从来没有想过这一点。我想的是让我的作品变得纯粹，如果它是纯粹的，那么它就可以被理解。这真的很直接。
If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
如果你想要达到目标，就会遇到障碍。我有他们。每个人都有过。但障碍并不能阻止你。如果你遇到一堵墙，不要转身放弃。想办法爬上去，穿过它，或者绕过它。
Learning about all those different things psychologically - about grief and my own addictions and problems and stuff like that, and really getting an education on it, I think it was part of the process of it, learning about it and trying to lick it.
从心理上了解所有这些不同的事情——关于悲伤、我自己的上瘾和问题等等，并真正接受相关的教育，我认为这是过程的一部分，了解它并试图克服它。
We can continue to try and clean up the gutters all over the world and spend all of our resources looking at just the dirty spots and trying to make them clean. Or we can lift our eyes up and look into the skies and move forward in an evolutionary way.
我们可以继续努力清理世界各地的排水沟，把我们所有的资源都花在那些脏的地方，努力让它们变得干净。或者我们可以抬起眼睛仰望天空，以一种进化的方式前进。
People would read all kinds of reaction into it, but Tracy told me himself that half the time he was just standing very still, trying to look sober and composed. That takes nothing away from him. The fact he got away with it was a tribute to his talent.
人们会对它做出各种各样的反应，但特蕾西自己告诉我，有一半时间，他只是静静地站着，试图让自己看起来冷静沉着。这并没有从他身上带走什么。他侥幸逃脱，这是对他才能的赞扬。
I tell my staff, we're riding a tour bus around, and we're going to stop and look at some weird stuff - but we're taking our viewers around safely. They're just looking out the window at it. I'm trying to create a sense of comfort for my center audience.
我告诉我的工作人员，我们坐着旅游巴士四处游览，我们要停下来看一些奇怪的东西——但是我们要带着我们的观众安全参观。他们只是看着窗外。我试图为我的中心观众创造一种舒适感。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.
试图定义自己就像咬紧牙关一样。
We've been trying to get on the ship for a month.
我们试着上船已经一个月了。
What is inherently wrong with the word 'politician' if the fellow has devoted his life to holding public office and trying to do something for his people?
如果一个人把他的一生都奉献给了担任公职，并试图为他的人民做些什么，那么“政治家”这个词本身就有什么问题?
I'm trying my hardest to get you so wrapped up in me you never leave.
我在尽我最大的努力让你如此专注于我，你永远不会离开。
Right now I'm doing four shows at a time, trying to read four outlines every week, four scripts every week, and watching four rough cuts; it's a lot of good work. It's fun to do it, but it does wear you out.
现在我一次做四个节目，试着每周读四个大纲，每周读四个剧本，看四个粗略的剪辑;这是很好的工作。这样做很有趣，但确实会让你筋疲力尽。
I'm really trying to respond to the foods that are in the stores and just pulling the things that are the very best and cook what looks beautiful and is seasonal. That's the way to go. I love going to the grocery store and the market. None of it's drudgery for me. Washing dishes is the drudgery.
我试着对商店里的食物做出反应，挑出最好吃的，做出看起来很漂亮的应季菜。那才是正道。我喜欢去杂货店和市场。这些对我来说都不是苦差事。洗碗是件苦差事。
