A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
喜剧
Comedy
For me, comedy should have a certain amount of joy in it. It should be about attacking the powerful - the politicians, the Trumps, the blowhards - going after them. We shouldn't be attacking the vulnerable.
对我来说,喜剧应该有一定的乐趣。它应该是关于攻击那些有权有势的人——政客、特朗普家族、吹牛大王——追赶他们。我们不应该攻击弱势群体。
All you have in comedy, in general, is just going with your instincts. You can only hope that other people think that what you think is funny is funny. I don't have an answer but I just try to plough straight ahead.
总的来说,你在喜剧中所拥有的只是你的直觉。你只能希望别人认为你认为有趣的就是有趣的。我不知道答案,但我试着向前走。
Yeah, even a black comedy. Where it's a little eerie. I'd love to do that. But there are about three really fabulous ones on the air now and I don't know if I can do any better than that. I'd like to sort of forge new ground.
是的,甚至是一部黑色喜剧。有点诡异。我很乐意这么做。但是现在有三个非常棒的节目正在播出,我不知道我能不能做得更好。我想开拓新的领域。
I suddenly realized that comedy, for me, was just being honest, and playing it for real. I've seen so many wonderful actors who turn into creatures from another planet when they're told they are supposed to be playing comedy.
我突然意识到,对我来说,喜剧只是一种诚实的表演,是真实的。我看过很多很棒的演员,当他们被告知要演喜剧时,他们就变成了来自另一个星球的生物。
I can do comedy, so people want me to do that, but the other side of comedy is depression. Deep, deep depression is the flip side of comedy. Casting agents don't realize it but in order to be funny you have to have that other side.
我可以做喜剧,所以人们想让我做,但喜剧的另一面是抑郁。深深的抑郁是喜剧的另一面。选角经纪人没有意识到这一点,但为了搞笑,你必须有另一面。
It's a lot of work and I also feel like I've done it. I miss comedy. And I also think that, from purely a logistical standpoint, that the day-to-day schedule on a comedy allows you to have a life, much more of a life, than on a drama.
这是一项艰巨的工作,我也觉得我已经完成了。我想念喜剧。我还认为,从纯粹的逻辑角度来看,一部喜剧的日常安排可以让你拥有一种生活,一种比戏剧更丰富的生活。
I don't like to be entertaining. I don't like the feeling of being entertaining. If there was a musical or a comedy that was not just for entertainment but was rooted in something I could relate to on a real level, then I think I would do it.
我不喜欢娱乐。我不喜欢娱乐的感觉。如果有一部音乐剧或喜剧不只是为了娱乐,而是根植于我能在真实层面上产生共鸣的东西,那么我想我会去做。
I never walked the streets of New York hoping to be a musical comedy star. For one thing, they would have thought I was too tall, because l was five feet eight and a half, and they were all little bitty things running around in the studio at that time.
我从未想过要成为一名音乐喜剧明星。首先,他们会认为我太高了,因为我身高五英尺八英寸半,那时他们都是在工作室里跑来跑去的小东西。
I think a lot of the instincts you have doing comedy are really the same for doing drama, in that it's essentially about listening. The way I approach comedy, is you have to commit to everything as if it's a dramatic role, meaning you play it straight.
我认为你做喜剧的很多本能和做戏剧是一样的,因为它本质上是关于倾听的。我对待喜剧的方式是,你必须全身心投入,就像它是一个戏剧性的角色,也就是说你要把它演好。
Most comedy is based on getting a laugh at somebody else's expense. And I find that that's just a form of bullying in a major way. So I want to be an example that you can be funny and be kind, and make people laugh without hurting somebody else's feelings.
大多数喜剧都是以取笑别人为基础的。我发现这在很大程度上只是一种欺凌。所以我想成为一个例子,你可以是有趣的,善良的,让人们笑而不伤害别人的感情。
Being on a comedy tour is like traveling with family, everyone is all having a great time... then all of a sudden it turns sour. One thing gets said out of turn, and everyone is on everyone's last nerve. After an hour of silence, we all start laughing about it.
喜剧之旅就像和家人一起旅行,每个人都玩得很开心……然后它突然变酸了。有一件事说得不合时宜,每个人都很紧张。沉默了一个小时后,我们都笑了起来。
I think that comedy really tells you how it is. The other thing about comedy is that - you don't even know if you're failing in drama, but you do know when you're failing in comedy. When you go to a comedy and you don't hear anybody laughing, you know that you've failed.
我认为那部喜剧确实告诉了你它是怎样的。关于喜剧的另一件事是——你甚至不知道你是否在戏剧上失败了,但是你知道你什么时候在喜剧上失败了。当你去看喜剧时,你没有听到任何人在笑,你知道你失败了。
