A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
作家
Writer
I've always felt that I would rather see an actor, writer, or musician's work, rather than actually know the person. If you know too much about an artist, it somehow lessens their ability to do their work as well.
我总是觉得我宁愿看演员、作家或音乐家的作品，也不愿真正了解这个人。如果你对一个艺术家了解太多，就会削弱他们的工作能力。
It's nice to be in a situation where the two books that I write for a sort of regular monthly income are also works that I enjoy immensely, rather than them being some kind of bread and butter, do it because you have to do it.
我为每月固定收入所写的两本书，也是我非常喜欢的作品，而不是像面包和黄油那样，因为你必须做，所以你要做。
Writing is as big a part of my career as acting is, financially and time wise. So, yeah, I love it. That's all I wanted to do since I was young was be a writer. So that and acting are the two most important aspects of my career.
在我的职业生涯中，写作和表演一样重要，无论是在经济上还是时间上。所以，是的，我喜欢它。这就是我年轻时想做的一切，当一名作家。所以那和表演是我职业生涯中最重要的两个方面。
Although it was in primitive times and differently called the Lord's day or Sunday, yet it was never denominated the Sabbath; a name constantly appropriate to Saturday, or the Seventh day both by sacred and ecclesiastical writers.
虽然这是在原始时代和不同的称为主日或星期日，但它从来没有被称为安息日;圣日，圣日，圣日，圣日，圣日，圣日，圣日
I love the incredible variety of demands directing makes on you, from the entrepreneur to the hustler to the deal-maker to the writer; to directing actors and the camera and working with music, sound, marketing and promotion. It uses so many sides of your brain.
我喜欢导演对你提出的各种令人难以置信的要求，从企业家到骗子，从交易撮合者到作家;导演演员和摄像机，并与音乐，声音，营销和推广工作。它用了你大脑的很多方面。
There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.
作家不可能被驯服，变得文明，甚至被治愈。目前科学界所知的唯一解决办法是为病人提供一间隔离室，在那里他可以独自忍受急性期，食物可以用棍子戳进他的身体。
The interval allowed was only five minutes, at the end of which I resumed the lecture; but so refreshing was the effects of the brief rest and, above all, the admission of pure air, that during the second hour the attention was as completely sustained as during the first.
只允许有五分钟的休息时间，结束时我又继续讲课。但短暂的休息，尤其是吸入新鲜空气的效果是那么令人神清气爽，所以在第二个小时里，注意力和第一个小时一样完全集中起来。
I've been trying to find women writers for my staff for a while now and I have three women on my staff and three guys so it's pretty equal. I don't know why that is. It's been the same thing for a while. It's hard for female comedians to stand out. That's weird. That's a shame.
一段时间以来，我一直在为我的员工寻找女性作家，我的员工中有三名女性和三名男性，所以男女比例相当。我不知道为什么。一段时间以来都是一样的。女喜剧演员很难脱颖而出。这是奇怪的。这是一个耻辱。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Any good writer is going to be well-received and is going to not be well-received; that's how you know you're a great writer.
任何优秀的作家都会受到欢迎，也不会受到欢迎;这就是你如何知道你是一个伟大的作家。
Words are contact with other beings. I see a word that says something I've noticed, seen, felt, obserevd, and I capture it; "I need that word!"
语言是与其他生命的联系。我看到一个词，它说的是我注意到的、看到的、感觉到的、观察到的东西，我把它捕捉下来;“我需要那个词!”
I have learned to respect ideas, wherever they come from. Often they come from clients. Account executives often have big creative ideas, regardless of what some writers think.
我学会了尊重思想，无论它们来自何方。他们通常来自客户。不管一些作家怎么想，客户经理通常都有很大的创意。
The fact people think that when you sell a lot of books you are not a serious writer is a great insult to the readership. I get a little angry when people try to say such a thing.
事实上，人们认为当你卖了很多书，你不是一个严肃的作家，这是对读者的极大侮辱。当人们试图说这样的话时，我有点生气。
A writer must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid.
作家必须教育自己，最卑鄙的事情莫过于害怕。
