A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
职业生涯
Career
A lot of people write books not at the end of their career. Why you gotta wait until then? When you're momentum's going, that's when people really want to get to know about you.
很多人不是在事业的尽头才写书的。你为什么要等到那时候?当你有动力时,人们才会真正想要了解你。
Throughout my career, if I have done anything, I have paid attention to every note and every word I sing - if I respect the song. If I cannot project this to a listener, I fail.
在我的职业生涯中,如果我做了什么,我会注意我唱的每一个音符和每一个单词——如果我尊重这首歌的话。如果我不能向听众传达这一点,我就失败了。
Do more than is required. What is the distance between someone who achieves their goals consistently and those who spend their lives and careers merely following? The extra mile.
做得比要求的更多。那些始终如一地实现自己目标的人与那些一生和事业都只是追随目标的人之间的距离是多少?额外的一英里。
In my Olympic history I don't think I have achieved my potential as an athlete. That's what I want when I look back at my career. I want to be able to say I gave it my best shot.
在我的奥运历史上,我认为我还没有发挥出我作为一名运动员的潜力。这就是我想要的当我回顾我的职业生涯。我想说我已经尽力了。
She never envisioned a legal career for me, but she did think it was very important that I be able to support myself, and I think she would be pleased to see what has become of me.
她从来没有为我设想过从事法律职业,但她确实认为我能够养活自己是非常重要的,我想她会很高兴看到我现在的情况。
I like school very much, and I'll go to college if my career slows down. But kids go to college to be where I am today. Not to put college down, but for me, it would be digressing.
我非常喜欢学校,如果我的事业放缓,我就会去上大学。但是孩子们上大学就像我现在这样。不是为了贬低大学,但对我来说,这就离题了。
However, I'm at a very comfortable place in my career and celebrity, in that I don't have to audition as extensively as I used to for roles but yet I'm not immediately recognizable.
然而,在我的职业生涯和名人生涯中,我处于一个非常舒适的位置,因为我不需要像过去那样频繁地试镜角色,但我却不能马上被认出来。
As my career has progressed, I've had the pleasure of playing with the baddest jazz cats on the planet. But that doesn't change my desire to entertain folks. That's really who I am.
随着我的职业生涯的发展,我有幸与地球上最坏的爵士猫一起演奏。但这并没有改变我招待人们的愿望。这就是我。
But I think the other is a little more like bullfighting, a little more daring and although I appreciate good acting and I liked being versatile my whole career, it kept me working.
但我认为另一种更像斗牛,更大胆,尽管我欣赏优秀的表演,我喜欢我的整个职业生涯是多才多艺的,它让我继续工作。
I've had moments where I realize my body isn't going to withstand many more seasons, but I am very satisfied with my career and I am trying not to look at retirement as a sad thing.
我曾经有过这样的时刻,我意识到我的身体承受不了更多的赛季,但我对我的职业生涯非常满意,我试着不把退休看成是一件悲伤的事情。
There is something magical about that green coat. I mean that sincerely. It's a very special week, and being able to wear that green jacket. It's made my whole career. It's special.
那件绿色外套有一种魔力。我是认真的。这是一个非常特别的星期,能够穿上那件绿色的夹克。它成就了我的整个职业生涯。它是特别的。
My voice had a long, nonstop career. It deserves to be put to bed with quiet and dignity, not yanked out every once in a while to see if it can still do what it used to do. It can't.
我的声音有着漫长而不间断的职业生涯。它应该安静而有尊严地躺在床上,而不是时不时地猛拉一下,看看它是否还能像以前那样。它不能。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
My career is an open book, but my life is not.
我的事业是一本打开的书,但我的生活不是。
And I was victim to that very early in my career, where I would go into auditions, and I'd be wearing a big T shirt, a big baggy T shirt and loose jeans. You know, to try and show people that there was more to me than just that.
在我职业生涯的早期,我就是这种情况的受害者,那时我要去试镜,我要穿一件大大的T恤,一件宽大的T恤和宽松的牛仔裤。你知道,试着让人们知道我不仅仅是那样。
It was not really a career choice that I had to make. It was something I knew right from the beginning. I had to be an actress... period.

As a matter of fact, there was a period of time, especially in my first career, when that's the only one who would work out with me: my dogs. As you get better and better working out, there's no one who can keep up with you running.

Throughout my career, I was blessed with great teams and great teammates.
在我的职业生涯中,我有幸拥有伟大的团队和伟大的队友。
