A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
写了
Wrote
I wrote my first play when I was eight.
我八岁时写了第一部剧本。
They had always told me that I wrote like a man.
他们总是告诉我，我写得像个男人。
I wrote a few children's books... not on purpose.
我写了几本儿童读物……不是故意的。
I wrote my first novel because I wanted to read it.
我写了我的第一部小说，因为我想读它。
I wrote my own verses. Anything I did, I wrote myself.
我自己写诗。我所做的一切都是我自己写的。
We wrote what sounded good to us and hoped it would find a home.
我们写了一些听起来不错的东西，希望它能找到一个家。
I wrote it the right way, so it was copied the wrong way right. I mean the right way wrong.
我写对了，所以抄错了。我的意思是正确的方法是错误的。
Filmmakers and critics wrote about each other and sometimes very harshly. This no longer exists.
电影制作人和影评人互相评论，有时甚至非常尖刻。这已经不存在了。
And one of the reasons that I wrote the cook books was so that I could be at home more than being on the road.
我写这些烹饪书的原因之一是这样我就可以在家而不是在路上了。
We were kind of scatterbrained in our early approach, but as we wrote more songs we wanted to make sure we were sonically cohesive.
在我们早期的创作方法中，我们有点心不在焉，但是当我们创作更多的歌曲时，我们想要确保我们的音乐连贯一致。
I've always kind of wrote when I wanted to. Once I get the idea in my head and get it outlined out, I usually just sit and write until it's done.
我总是在我想写的时候写。一旦我在脑海中有了想法，并把它勾勒出来，我通常只是坐下来写，直到它完成。
We just wrote songs that seemed good to us. We wrote the album in like two weeks. We could have had more time, but we accomplished what we needed to in the two weeks.
我们只是写了一些我们觉得不错的歌。我们在大约两周内就完成了这张专辑。我们本可以有更多的时间，但我们在两周内完成了我们需要做的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I've always known when I start a story what the last line is. It's always been the case, since the first story I ever wrote. I don't know how it's going to get there, but I seem to need the destination. I need to know where I end up. It never changes, ever.
当我开始写故事的时候，我总是知道最后一行是什么。从我写的第一个故事开始，就一直是这样。我不知道怎么去那里，但我似乎需要目的地。我要知道我的结局。它永远不会改变，永远不会。
Nobody told me how hard it was going to be to get published. I wrote four novels that nobody wanted, sent them out all over, collected hundreds and hundreds of rejection slips.
没有人告诉我出版有多难。我写了四本没人要的小说，到处散发，收集了成百上千的退稿单。
When I wrote the song, I had the sea near Bombay in mind. We stayed at a hotel by the sea, and the fishermen come up at five in the morning and they were all chanting. And we went on the beach and we got chased by a mad dog - big as a donkey.
当我写这首歌的时候，我想到了孟买附近的大海。我们住在海边的一家旅馆里，渔民们早上五点就来了，他们都在唱着歌。我们去了海滩，我们被一只疯狗追赶——大得像驴子。
I've been writing for as long as I can remember, and reading even before that. My mom still has stories that I wrote when I was in kindergarten. I was a reader and a re-reader. That's the main reason I became a writer.
我从记事起就开始写作，甚至在那之前我就开始阅读了。我妈妈还有我上幼儿园时写的故事。我是一个读者，也是一个再版读者。这就是我成为一名作家的主要原因。
I really don't feel that any of the pieces I wrote were confessions; there are no revelations about secrets in my life, and actually I have nothing to confess and I certainly do not ask for redemption and there is no reward for confessing that I expect.
我真的不觉得我写的任何一篇文章都是忏悔录;我的生活中没有关于秘密的启示，实际上我没有什么要坦白的，我当然也不要求救赎，我所期待的坦白是没有回报的。
