A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
注意
Attention
If you don't pay attention and if your imagination isn't pretty much engaged, you're going to miss things and you're going to miss opportunities for it to be as compelling and as creepy as it can be.
如果你不集中注意力,如果你的想象力不够活跃,你就会错过一些东西,你就会错过一些机会,让它变得尽可能地引人注目和令人毛骨悚然。
The first thing that happens is that you're overwhelmed by so much attention. It's just so unnatural. Only people who've been in that position can realize what it's like. I mean, you have to be there.

But while human liberty has engaged the attention of the enlightened, and enlisted the feelings of the generous of all civilized nations, may we not enquire if this liberty has been rightly understood?

Maybe it's legitimate criticism, though it can be hurtful. Maybe I haven't paid sufficient attention to the people with whom I would have a natural affinity as a liberal, and they feel let down by that.

从一个私人的人变成一个公众人物是一件非常痛苦的事情,尤其是当你是自传体的时候。但这是每个人都想要的——吸引每个人的注意,让你的音乐为你谋生,以这种方式得到认可。
