A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
字符
Characters
I just have my own taste, and I just try and stick with that. I'm just trying to play as many characters as I can for as long as I have an opportunity to.
我只是有自己的品味，我只是试着坚持下去。只要有机会，我就会尽可能多地扮演角色。
Being able to improvise is the basis for creating all characters and situations, for everything to do with performing, really. And it's good therapy as well.
能够即兴创作是创造所有角色和场景的基础，是所有与表演有关的东西的基础。这也是很好的治疗方法。
I think I am more attracted to characters with a subtext, whatever that is and they don't necessarily have to be virtuous, but they have to at least be human.
我觉得我更喜欢有潜台词的角色，不管潜台词是什么，他们不一定要善良，但至少要有人性。
In particular, people have trouble understanding where I stand in relation to my characters, and very often this gets reduced to me making vicious fun of them.
特别是，人们很难理解我和我的角色之间的关系，而这往往被归结为我对他们的恶意取笑。
Like any other composer of opera, I choose a subject not for polemical reasons, but because it contains vivid characters in highly charged dramatic situations.
和其他歌剧作曲家一样，我选择一个主题不是为了争论，而是因为它包含了在高度紧张的戏剧场景中生动的人物。
The thing that I like about the way characters are written on the show these days is that nobody's perfect. Everyone has made a lot of mistakes and bad choices.
我喜欢这部剧里人物的写作方式是因为现在没有人是完美的。每个人都犯过很多错误和错误的选择。
Character roles only indicate that they're very different from who you are as a person, and for me, it's fun hiding behind characters that are so unlike who I am.
角色只是表明他们和你这个人很不一样，对我来说，躲在和我很不一样的角色后面很有趣。
I don't look in the mirror and think that I have flaws. I actually look in the mirror and see me. I see a lot of different characters and a lot of different things.
我不会照镜子，认为自己有缺点。我照镜子看到了自己。我看到了很多不同的角色和不同的东西。
The idea of goodies and baddies has always fascinated me, and what people consider to be a goodie or a baddie, because I've never seen any of my characters as baddies.
好人和坏人的概念一直吸引着我，以及人们认为好人和坏人是什么，因为我从未见过我的任何角色是坏人。
I don't really ever think about whether or not I like the characters I'm playing. I'm more into the minutiae of their behaviour or what they're doing in a certain scene.
我从来没有想过我是否喜欢我扮演的角色。我更关注他们行为的细节，或者他们在某个场景中做什么。
I have this theory that the likeability question comes up so much more with female characters created by female authors than it does with male characters and male authors.
我的理论是，比起男性角色和男性作者，女性作者创造的女性角色更容易出现可爱度问题。
Well, I don't feel that I've played so many bad guys, and I'm rot really drawn to villains per se. I think a lot of people relate to some of my characters' inner struggles.
嗯，我不觉得我演过那么多坏人，我对坏人本身就很感兴趣。我想很多人都和我角色的内心挣扎有关。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
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。
All my characters are me. I'm not a good enough actor to become a character. I hear about actors who become the role and I think 'I wonder what that feels like.' Because for me, they're all me.
我所有的角色都是我自己。我演得不够好，演不成角色。我听说有演员成为了这个角色，我想‘我想知道那是什么感觉。因为对我来说，他们都是我。
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 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。
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。
