A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
字符
Characters
I've learned through experience of playing different characters, some of whom were jerks, that when you play a character who is pretentious or obnoxious, in any way, it's important to knock them down a peg.
我从扮演不同角色的经历中学到，当你扮演一个自命不凡或令人讨厌的角色时，无论如何，重要的是要把他们打倒在地。
Once I've got the first draft down on paper then I do five or six more drafts, the last two of which will be polishing drafts. The ones in between will flesh out the characters and maybe I'll check my research.
一旦我把初稿写在纸上，我就会再写五六遍，最后两遍就是润色草稿了。介于两者之间的角色会让角色更加丰满，也许我要检查一下我的研究。
It's necessary to track characters all the way through an opera. If you're dealing with more than one or two characters, it's very easy to forget that the others have lives of their own that feed into the story.
在歌剧中追踪人物是必要的。如果你要和不止一个或两个角色打交道，你很容易就会忘记其他人也有自己的生活，他们的生活融入了故事。
So I never spend a lot of time analyzing why people respond to my work. But I think that it's just the joy, a passion for life, that I think has always been in my characters. Beyond that, I'm just grateful for it.
所以我从不花很多时间去分析为什么人们会对我的工作做出反应。但我认为这只是一种快乐，一种对生活的激情，我认为这一直存在于我的角色中。除此之外，我很感激。
Always when I directed the play, I was always trying to cast people not who were necessarily like the characters, but people who I felt had the essential component that the character had, some kind of soul for it.
当我导演这部剧的时候，我总是试着让那些和角色不一样的人出演，而是那些我觉得有这个角色的基本成分的人，某种灵魂。
I understood, through rehab, things about creating characters. I understood that creating whole people means knowing where we come from, how we can make a mistake and how we overcome things to make ourselves stronger.
通过康复，我明白了创造角色的意义。我明白创造完整的人意味着知道我们从哪里来，我们如何犯错误，我们如何克服困难使自己更强大。
I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.
没有真理的外表，我是不会高兴的;至少有一种可能，我希望历史是自然的，虽然感情是高雅的;虽然他们的行为很出色，但这些角色很有可能会出现。
I think it's definitely beneficial for these characters to have good acting voices behind them and it affects the characters in a way that people can feel like they're part of the game and that they know these characters.
我认为对这些角色来说，在他们背后有好的表演声音绝对是有好处的，这在某种程度上影响了角色，让人们觉得他们是游戏的一部分，他们了解这些角色。
It is no accident that I made Cartoon Town a simple little village - in many ways it mirrored my home town. And, yes, many of my puppet characters took on some of the more eccentric characteristics of people I knew there.
我把卡通小镇变成一个简单的小村庄并非偶然——它在很多方面反映了我的家乡。是的，我的许多木偶角色都具有我在那里认识的人的一些更古怪的特征。
I write fast. But it takes me a while to get going. It's very important for me to see my whole plot. I have to see the end first because I like a surprise in the end. Which is why I let characters and plot gestate in my mind.
我写得快。但是我需要一段时间才能开始。对我来说，了解整个情节非常重要。我必须先看结局，因为我喜欢最后的惊喜。这就是为什么我让角色和情节在我的脑海中浮现。
Sure, I'll have characters drop in and out of books but the main cast of characters always changes. Maybe I'm wrong but I think if had the same joe detective guy or gal, I wouldn't write them as well; I wouldn't do as good a job.
当然，我也会让角色在书中进进出出，但主要角色总是在变化。也许我错了，但我想如果有同样的乔侦探盖伊或盖尔，我不会写得那么好;我不会做得那么好。
I don't understand that, because I think that what people like most about the show is that they recognize themselves in the characters and their problems, so the more believable the family is, the more we can draw the audience in.
我不明白，因为我认为人们最喜欢这部剧的地方是，他们从角色和他们的问题中认识到自己，所以这个家庭越可信，我们就越能吸引观众。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
All the great writers root their characters in true human behaviour.
所有伟大的作家都以真实的人类行为来塑造他们的人物。
Yet as a director, I don't feel you have to identify with your characters as a requirement to make a movie.
然而，作为一名导演，我不认为你必须认同你的角色是拍电影的必要条件。
Start as early as you can. Make tapes of your characters.
尽早开始。把你的角色录下来。
As a child, I was a clown. I didn't hesitate to make a fool of myself and I would love to completely take on wacky characters.
小时候，我是个小丑。我毫不犹豫地做了一个傻瓜，我喜欢完全接受古怪的角色。
I like to play characters that are convincing, that aren't just straightforward and nice.
