A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
字符
Character
I made a decision not to work out because I'm lazy and also, the character is not a superhero. I didn't want him to be a buff guy with Jackie Chan moves because the point is he's smarter than your average Joe.
我决定不去健身,因为我很懒,而且这个角色也不是超级英雄。我不想让他成为一个和成龙一起跳舞的壮汉,因为关键是他比一般人更聪明。
It's all about creating a back story for the character and developing emotional responses that are true to life in relation to the character. It isn't necessary to live a tragic life to create from that place.
这一切都是关于为角色创造一个背景故事,并发展与角色相关的真实生活的情感反应。从那个地方开始创作,没有必要过悲惨的生活。
From beginning to end it's about keeping the energy and the intensity of the story and not doing too much and not doing too little, but just enough so people stay interested and stay involved in the characters.
从头到尾都要保持故事的活力和强度,不要做得太多也不要做得太少,但要足够让人们对角色保持兴趣,保持对角色的投入。
I really believe that when you're playing a character that everything is contained in the script. If I'm pulling from things from my own life, then I think I'm being disingenuous to the character and the story.
我真的相信,当你在扮演一个角色的时候,所有的东西都包含在剧本里。如果我从自己的生活中抽离,那么我认为我对角色和故事是不诚实的。
It allows you to say things that sound very dramatic and get away with it. If you had characters in modern fiction say the same things as they're driving down the street in an Oldsmobile they'd sound ludicrous!
它可以让你说一些听起来很戏剧化的事情,并且不受惩罚。如果你让现代小说中的人物在开着奥兹莫比尔车沿街行驶时说出同样的话,他们听起来会很可笑!
When I was in theater I was forever trying to inhabit a space which puts yourself under the microscope as an actor and your personality and your take on life, but actually through another portal of a character.
当我在剧院的时候,我总是试图居住在一个空间里,把你作为一个演员放在显微镜下观察你的个性和你对生活的看法,但实际上是通过另一个角色的入口。
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.
有一段时间,当我进入方法表演的时候,我确实有一些残留的性格情感的时刻,因为这个方法基于你作为一个角色的情感反应,基于你真实生活中的情感体验。
In terms of the character itself, I can't really say that I find anything really difficult. I enjoy the character so much I don't perceive difficulty in trying to be him. It's just a matter of how do we get there.
就角色本身而言,我不能说我真的觉得有什么困难。我很喜欢这个角色,所以我不觉得成为他有什么困难。这只是我们如何到达那里的问题。
It's easier to play a dim character, for me, because I have a natural bent for comedy. It's not intrinsic for me to be crafty, so I would have to go outside for a source of origin. I think of myself as pretty dim.
对我来说,扮演一个阴暗的角色更容易,因为我天生喜欢喜剧。狡猾对我来说并不是内在的,所以我必须走出去寻找源头。我觉得自己很迟钝。
Well, thank you and that's for them, but for me, I want to look back at a body of work where when you do the research and you explore the psyche of a character, where she's been, where she is and where she's going.
好吧,谢谢,这就是对他们的感谢,但对我来说,我想回顾一下当你做研究的时候,你在研究一个角色的心理,她去过哪里,她现在在哪里,她要去哪里。
He's meant to be that classic Homer, Ulysses, Hercules - a character who goes out or has some gift of some kind. He goes on a journey of discovery and part of that is falling into darkness - the temptations of life.
他注定要成为经典的荷马、尤利西斯、大力神——一个走出去或者拥有某种天赋的角色。他开始了一段探索之旅,其中一部分是陷入黑暗——生命的诱惑。
But it was this tough little character part that I was playing, a very funny little guy that I invented over a weekend, because I realized I was not contributing to the humor of this thing. And I had to do something.
但我所扮演的是一个艰难的小角色,一个非常有趣的小角色,是我在一个周末发明的,因为我意识到我并没有为这件事带来幽默。我必须做点什么。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
There is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.
没有所谓的“白手起家”的人。我们是由成千上万的人组成的。每一个曾经为我们做过一件好事,或对我们说过一句鼓励的话的人,都已经成为我们性格、思想以及成功的组成部分。
Many novelists take well-defined, precise characters, whose stories are sometimes of mediocre interest, and place them in an important historical context, which remains secondary in spite of everything.
许多小说家把定义明确、精确的人物置于重要的历史背景中,而不管发生什么事,历史背景都是次要的。
I might have some character traits that some might see as innocence or naive. That's because I discovered peace and happiness in my soul. And with this knowledge, I also see the beauty of human life.
我可能有一些性格特点,有些人可能认为是天真或天真。那是因为我在我的灵魂中发现了和平和幸福。有了这些知识,我也看到了人类生活的美丽。
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。
Most of the time when I receive a script, it says something like 'Rosenberg is the fat, slovenly Mayor, who doesn't want the kids to use the skateboard park', or 'Stein is a pompous, rotund attorney, imposing to all.' It would be so freeing to get a script where my character is simply described as 'A Man'.
大多数时候,当我收到一份手稿时,上面写着类似这样的话:“罗森博格是一个肥胖、邋遢的市长,他不想让孩子们使用滑板公园”,或者“斯坦是一个自负、肥胖的律师,强加于所有人”。“如果能得到一个剧本,把我的角色简单地描述为‘一个男人’,那就太自由了。”
Conscience is doubtless sufficient to conduct the coldest character into the road of virtue; but enthusiasm is to conscience what honor is to duty; there is in us a superfluity of soul, which it is sweet to consecrate to the beautiful when the good has been accomplished.
毫无疑问,良心足以引导最冷酷的人走上美德之路;热情之于良知,犹如荣誉之于责任;我们身上有一种多余的灵魂,当美好的事物完成后,把它奉献给美丽的事物是很甜蜜的。
