A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
想要
Wanted
From the age of six I wanted to be an artist. At that point I meant a painter, but it turned out what I really meant was I was someone who was very interested in watching the world and making copies of it.
从六岁起,我就想成为一名艺术家。当时我指的是画家,但事实证明我真正的意思是我是一个对观察世界和复制世界非常感兴趣的人。
When we distributed the paper and crayons, they were fighting over the blue crayon. Everyone wanted to start with the blue, and that was the water. One drawing shows the trees under water. I was really moved.
当我们分发纸和蜡笔时,他们正在争夺蓝色蜡笔。每个人都想从蓝色开始,那就是水。其中一幅画展示了水下的树木。我真的很感动。
I became very famous, as a teenager, and my name and photo were splashed in all the media. They made me larger than life, so I wanted to live larger than life, and the only way to do that was to be intoxicated.
十几岁的时候,我变得非常有名,我的名字和照片被所有的媒体报道。他们让我变得比生命更伟大,所以我想活得比生命更伟大,而唯一的方法就是陶醉其中。
We've always wanted to do it, something you could dance to, and deep down we always thought we could bring something to the table if we could do it, but the live shows always made us pull back and be a rock band.
我们一直都想做这件事,一些你可以跟着跳舞的事情,在内心深处,我们一直认为如果我们能做到,我们可以把一些东西带到桌面上来,但是现场表演总是让我们后退一步,成为一个摇滚乐队。
With each of those projects I wasn't thinking about how the layout would really affect the story I was working on - it wasn't the content that was affecting the layout, it was, how I wanted to draw at that point in time.
对于每一个项目,我并没有考虑布局会如何真正影响我正在做的故事——影响布局的不是内容,而是我在那个时候想要如何绘制。
I don't know how much influence we really had, because we never put our pictures on the albums or anything and we never really promoted the Talking Heads connection, because we wanted to keep it separate from Talking Heads.
我不知道我们真的有多大的影响力,因为我们从来没有把我们的照片放在相册或其他东西上,我们从来没有真正促进过“会说话的脑袋”的联系,因为我们想要把它和“会说话的脑袋”分开。
I think early on I knew what I was going to do and it was based a lot on familiarity but it was also because I didn't have a lot of skills. There was nothing I wanted t be. I didn't want to be a doctor. I wanted to be in show business.
我想我很早就知道我要做什么了,这很大程度上是建立在熟悉的基础上的,但也因为我没有很多技能。没有什么是我不想成为的。我不想当医生。我想从事演艺事业。
I never, ever had it in my mind that I wanted to be in the record industry, because I still contend that the record industry is an insidious affair. It's this terrible collision between art and commerce, and it will always be that way.
我从来没有想过要进入唱片业,因为我仍然认为唱片业是一个阴险的行业。这是艺术和商业之间可怕的冲突,而且永远都是这样。
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。
In the beginning, Barry and I couldn't decide if we were going got go forward with the name of the Bee Gees or just as Barry and Robin. Now we've decided to continue as the Bee Gees because we feel we can, and Maurice would have wanted it.
一开始,巴里和我无法决定我们是用比吉斯的名字继续前进,还是就像巴里和罗宾一样。现在我们决定继续扮演比吉斯,因为我们觉得我们能做到,而莫里斯也会想要的。
I wanted it not to be true. I wanted it not to be her plane. I wanted it - I wanted, if it was her plane, to have somehow survived because she was in the back of the airplane. But we know that doesn't happen, not with those sorts of things.
我不希望这是真的。我不想让它成为她的飞机。我想要——如果那是她的飞机,我想要以某种方式幸存下来,因为她在飞机的后部。但我们知道这不会发生,不会发生在这类事情上。
Well, obviously I wanted it to sound as original as possible. I suppose the influences that we had were probably from the actual power point of view we wanted to be like the Who. Vocally we wanted to be like the Beach Boys, whatever was good at the time.
很明显,我想让它听起来尽可能的新颖。我想我们所受到的影响可能是从实际权力的角度来看的我们想成为世界卫生组织。从声音上说,我们想要像沙滩男孩一样,无论什么时候是好的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Because I was successful over the years, I never had the opportunity to do the stuff I really wanted.
因为这些年我很成功,我从来没有机会做我真正想做的事情。
I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.
我一直想成为大人物,但现在我意识到我应该更具体一些。
All I wanted was to be big, to be in show business and to travel... and that's what I've been doing all my life.
我只想做大一点,做演艺事业,旅行……这就是我这辈子一直在做的事情。
One day you will wake up and there wont be any more time to do the things you've always wanted.
总有一天你会醒来,不再有时间做你一直想做的事情。
Everything I did is because I wanted to do it. If I weren't playing this arena, if I were playing a club, I'd still be doing it because that's what I want to do. I love playing the guitar.
我所做的一切都是因为我想做。如果我不是在这个舞台上,如果我是在一个俱乐部里,我仍然会这么做,因为这就是我想做的。我喜欢弹吉他。
Before I wasn't sure what I wanted to say, but now, I have had so many different experiences that they have given me what I want to get across in my music.
以前我不确定我想说什么,但现在,我有很多不同的经历,他们给了我想在我的音乐中传达的东西。
