A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
字符
Characters
The thing about playing gods, whether you're playing Thor and Loki or Greco Roman gods or Indian gods or characters in any mythology, the reason that gods were invented was because they were basically larger versions of ourselves.
扮演神的意义在于，无论你是在扮演雷神托尔和洛基，还是希腊罗马神或印第安神，或任何神话中的人物，神之所以被创造出来，是因为它们基本上是我们自己的更大版本。
Characters can become boring. That's what's tricky about television. It goes on and on - you're playing this same character for five seasons and it gets easy to fall into just walking on the set and assuming you know how to play a scene.
角色会变得无聊。这就是电视的微妙之处。这种情况会一直持续下去——你在剧中扮演同一个角色已经有五季了，你很容易就会陷入一种走在片场的感觉，并且认为你知道怎么演一个场景。
With all of the qualities of the scene-setting, the dialogue, the place and time and the time and place in which your characters move. And I want to move with the characters, move with them and describe the world in which they are living.
所有的场景设置，对话，地点和时间以及你的角色移动的时间和地点。我想和角色一起前进，和他们一起前进，描述他们所生活的世界。
Writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz. Much of the time life is a sort of rhythmic progression of three characters. If one tells oneself that life is like that, one feels it less arbitrary.
写作是找到某种节奏的问题。我把它比作爵士乐的节奏。大多数时候，生活是由三个字有节奏地发展而成的。如果一个人告诉自己生活就是这样，他就不会觉得那么武断。
I don't want to do an action movie, because I've acted in them, and they're so boring to do, because they're so technical. The headache of that is daunting. But, if it were an action movie with really interesting characters, how great would that be?
我不想拍动作片，因为我演过动作片，它们太无聊了，因为它们太技术化了。这让人头疼。但是，如果是一部角色非常有趣的动作片，那会有多棒呢?
I always think that I love doing what I'm doing at the moment. The past is over. I can't go play one of those characters again. But I can play this and I can continue to grow in what I'm doing at the moment and that's really what I'm thinking about now.
我总是认为我喜欢做我现在正在做的事情。过去的已经过去了。我不能再演那些角色了。但我可以玩这个，我可以继续在我现在所做的事情中成长，这就是我现在真正想的。
When I begin a book, I inevitably discover many things along the way, about the characters, their past histories and the political intrigues that surround them. This discovery process is vital, and I would not prejudice it by deciding too much in advance.
当我开始写一本书的时候，我不可避免地会发现很多东西，关于人物、他们过去的历史以及围绕他们的政治阴谋。这个发现过程是至关重要的，我不会因为事先做了太多决定而影响它。
Today's youth cannot miss something they have never known, but I fear that there are no current fictional characters whose impact and influence will last with such abiding affection into their 'sore and yellow' as this splendid man's creations have in mine!
今天的年轻人不能错过一些他们从未知道的东西，但我担心，没有一个当代的小说人物，他们的影响和影响会像我这个杰出人物的创作一样，对他们的“伤痛和黄色”有着持久的感情!
I would call it a comedy variety show. We have some people just doing straight standup. We usually try to have one musical act of sort. So its just people being funny in different ways, not just sketch, not just standup, not just characters, all of those things.
我把它叫做喜剧综艺节目。我们有些人只是站着表演。我们通常尝试一种音乐行为。所以这只是人们用不同的方式搞笑，不只是素描，不只是站立，不只是角色，所有这些事情。
The Swords were still interesting but by then a cast of characters had started to appear and go on from book to book, and other things about the world began to feel constricting. And there were other things I wanted to do, so I closed the series up and stopped it.
剑仍然很有趣，但那时已经有一群人物开始出现，一本书接一本书地出现，世界上的其他事情开始让人感到压抑。我还有其他的事情想做，所以我结束了这个系列，停止了它。
The Canteen Boy, the reason you feel bad for him and you can laugh is because he, and I guess a lot of my characters, they don't notice they're getting made fun of. So they'll say something back that's not that great a quip, but in their mind they won the argument.
食堂的男孩，你为他感到难过的原因是你可以嘲笑他，我想我的很多角色，他们没有注意到他们被取笑了。所以他们会反驳说，这不是一个很好的讽刺，但在他们看来，他们赢得了辩论。
I think about the characters I've created and then I sit down and start typing and see what they will do. There's a lot of subconscious thought that goes on. It amazes me to find out, a few chapters later, why I put someone in a certain place when I did. It's spooky.
我想了想我创造的角色，然后坐下来开始打字，看看他们会怎么做。有很多潜意识的想法。几章之后，我惊奇地发现，为什么我把一个人放在一个特定的位置。这是令人毛骨悚然的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I try to pick characters that I find interesting and complex and that I feel I can bring something of myself to.
我试着挑选我觉得有趣和复杂的角色，我觉得我可以把自己的一些东西。
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。
Well, I don't think I've ever been a huge target for the press, and I value that to a degree, because there's a certain value for actors staying beneath the radar so they can play characters.
嗯，我不认为我曾经是媒体的一个巨大目标，我在一定程度上重视这一点，因为演员躲在雷达之下，这样他们就可以扮演角色，这是有一定价值的。
I am attracted to characters who think they are in control, but their situation is uncontrollable.
我被那些自认为能控制一切的角色所吸引，但他们的处境是无法控制的。
I like to play characters that are convincing, that aren't just straightforward and nice.
我喜欢扮演令人信服的角色，而不仅仅是简单和友好的角色。
I think it's fair to say I'm attracted to playing characters who are rather intense.
我觉得可以这么说，我是被那些相当紧张的角色所吸引的。
