A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

我很正常。我踢足球，去海滩，开车。我们有狗。我能想象人们叫我一个角色，但我是直男乔。
What I look for in any character, good or bad, is whether I can hear him speak. If I can imagine him that clearly, then I can write about him.

But to be part of helping create a character and be a part of something from the beginning - the excitement of it - it doesn't get any better.
但作为帮助创造一个角色的一部分，从一开始就成为某件事的一部分——它带来的兴奋感——没有比这更好的了。

我喜欢躲在我扮演的角色后面。尽管公众对我的看法是这样的，但我是一个非常注重隐私的人，很难接受名声。
I think the more you do this and the more comfortable you become on stage, you start speaking more and becoming more of a character in yourself.

Men of genius are not quick judges of character. Deep thinking and high imagining blunt that trivial instinct by which you and I size people up.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I do not like assassins, or men of low character.
我不喜欢刺客，也不喜欢卑鄙的人。
Moral cowardice that keeps us from speaking our minds is as dangerous to this country as irresponsible talk. The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.

There were time when I was into method acting that I did have moments of residual character emotions, because the method bases your emotional responses as a character on emotional experiences from your real life.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

一个人只有在处理鸡毛蒜皮的小事时，在他毫无防备的时候，他的性格才会表露无遗。
