A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
写
Write
There are days when I intentionally don't write. For instance, I never write when I'm traveling, because travel is a situation where I can learn more by looking and listening than by working.
有时候我故意不写。例如,我从不在旅行时写作,因为在旅行中,我可以通过观察和倾听学到比工作更多的东西。
It's cool to be a part of recovery. This is just who I am, this is what I write about, what I do, and most of my work has been a reflection of what I've been going through in one way or another.
成为康复的一部分很酷。这就是我,这就是我所写的,我所做的,我的大部分作品都以这样或那样的方式反映了我所经历的。
When I sit down to write a song, it's a kind of improvisation, but I formalize it a bit to get it into the studio, and when I step up to a microphone, I have a vague idea of what I'm about to do.
当我坐下来写一首歌的时候,这是一种即兴创作,但是我把它正式化了一点,让它进入录音室,当我走到麦克风前的时候,我对我要做什么有一个模糊的概念。
It came about as follows: over the years when I was involved in dianetics, I wrote the beginnings of many stories. I would get an idea, and then write the beginning, and then never touch it again.
事情是这样的:在我参与戴尼提的那些年里,我写了许多故事的开头。我会有一个想法,然后开始写,然后再也不碰它。
Love is the answer to everything. It's the only reason to do anything. If you don't write stories you love, you'll never make it. If you don't write stories that other people love, you'll never make it.
爱是一切的答案。这是做任何事情的唯一理由。如果你不写你喜欢的故事,你就永远不会成功。如果你不写别人喜欢的故事,你永远不会成功。
The inspiration to write? Perhaps it's not so much inspiration, as a NEED to write. I get itchy and guilty and dissatisfied when I haven't written for a while. Ideas come to me and need to be written down.
写作的灵感?也许与其说是灵感,不如说是写作的需要。当我有一段时间没写东西的时候,我会感到发痒、内疚和不满。我有了一些想法,需要把它们写下来。
I didn't go to high school. I think that after you learn to read and write and do your numbers and flush the toilet behind yourself, you don't need no more schoolin'. You need to get out in the water and swim.
我没有上过高中。我想,当你学会了读、写、算、自己冲马桶之后,你就不需要再上学了。你需要到水里去游泳。
When I write for kids, I have to make sure they know what can't happen. They have to know it's a fantasy. But when I write for adults, they have to think it's real. Every detail has to be real or they won't buy it.
当我为孩子们写作时,我必须确保他们知道什么是不可能发生的。他们必须知道这只是个幻想。但当我为成年人写作时,他们必须认为这是真实的。每个细节都必须真实,否则他们不会买。
One thing, when you're an actor, you finish something and then you have to worry about what the next gig is. When you're a musician, you can always write your own stuff, and I'm working on new stuff for a new album right now.
有一件事,当你是一名演员时,你完成了一些事情,然后你不得不担心下一个演出是什么。当你是一个音乐家的时候,你总是可以写你自己的东西,而我现在正在为一张新专辑写新东西。
I was a shy kid, but somehow I knew I would make it as a performer. I'd always be telling my mum that I was going to be a famous singer. In my school yearbooks I would write, 'Remember me when I'm famous.' I knew I had a gift.
我是一个害羞的孩子,但不知何故,我知道我会成为一名演员。我总是告诉我妈妈我要成为一名著名的歌手。在我的学校年鉴里,我会这样写:“当我出名的时候,请记住我。“我知道我有天赋。
You have to live what you write, or you have to know it. There are exceptions, like story songs, where you just have to have your facts straight. But I think you don't have to live a hard life to be a good or interesting songwriter.
你必须活在你写的东西里,或者你必须知道它。也有例外,比如故事歌曲,你只需要把事实弄清楚。但我认为你不必为了成为一名优秀或有趣的作曲家而过着艰辛的生活。
Attempting to write vocal oriented songs to me felt like going through the motions and if you are going to go through the motions you might as well just do any gig that caused you to do repetitive motions like banging a hammer or serving fries.
对我来说,尝试写一些以声音为导向的歌曲就像走过场,如果你也要走过场,你也可以做一些会让你重复动作的表演,比如敲锤子或吃薯条。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I know at my church a lot of the times we sung from hymn books and as we got older we started to change with time. I can honestly say that I was never influenced to write for the church.
我知道在我的教堂里,很多时候我们都是照着赞美诗唱的,随着年龄的增长,我们开始随着时间而改变。我可以诚实地说,我从未受影响为教会写作。
If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing.
如果你死后不会被遗忘,要么写一些值得读的东西,要么做一些值得写的事情。
I don't have the notion that everybody has to write in some single academic style.
我不认为每个人都必须以某种单一的学术风格写作。
If you know somebody is going to be awfully annoyed by something you write, that's obviously very satisfying, and if they howl with rage or cry, that's honey.
如果你知道有人会被你写的东西惹恼,这显然是非常令人满意的,如果他们因为愤怒而嚎啕大哭,那就是蜜糖。
Each age, it is found, must write its own books; or rather, each generation for the next succeeding.
人们发现,每个时代都必须写自己的书;或者更确切地说,每一代都是为了下一代的成功。
First general point: I write to destroy, by describing exactly the nocturnal monsters that threaten to invade my waking life.
第一个要点:我写作是为了毁灭,通过准确地描述威胁到我清醒生活的夜间怪物。
