A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
I didn't want to be told what to do. I don't want to water down my music to fit into their formats. I know what rock and roll is to me, but everything's turning into one big commercial.
我不想让别人告诉我该做什么。我不想降低我的音乐以适应他们的格式。我知道摇滚对我来说是什么，但一切都变成了一个大广告。
I've been wanting to go into music ever since I can remember. I mean even before I became an actor. I just thought it would be a tough field to break into, so I became an actor instead.
从记事起，我就一直想从事音乐。我是说在我成为演员之前。我只是觉得这将是一个很难进入的领域，所以我成为了一名演员。
I would do the occasional score. I thought it was the most thrilling thing. It was instant. You made the music and they played it right away to millions of people. I found it thrilling.
我偶尔会做些评分。我认为这是最令人兴奋的事情。这是即时的。你做了音乐，他们马上把它播放给数百万人听。我觉得很刺激。
I was very pleased to find that once I had records out music videos were starting to happen, so I directed some of my own music videos and got to experiment in other areas of expression.

Ultimately, I'm not the most prolific person, but I've been doing this for a long time, and I keep on putting out music. The only thing that drives music is the people who are making it.
最终，我并不是最多产的人，但我已经这样做了很长时间，而且我一直在发布音乐。推动音乐发展的唯一动力是音乐制作者。
I'd like just to be remembered as a guy that came along and did his music, did his best and showed up on time, clean and ready to do the job, wrote a few songs, and had a hell of a time.

我只是和我尊敬的音乐家一起演奏我喜欢的音乐，幸运的是，我处在一个人们愿意和我一起演奏的位置，也许我能做些什么来帮助他们。
I was a schooled musician. When I made 'Blue Velvet', I told everyone what to do. I was an arranger. I learned music in school I told the band to play this. I told the guitar to do that.
我是一个受过教育的音乐家。当我做“蓝色天鹅绒”时，我告诉每个人该做什么。我是一个编曲人。我在学校学的音乐，我让乐队演奏这个。我告诉吉他那样做。
I am certain that most composers today would consider today's music to be rich, not to say confusing, in its enormous diversity of styles, technical procedures, and systems of esthetics.

There's no way I can compete with someone who can write rap or rock and roll. Nor do I wish to. But I've always kept up to date with music changes. I worked very hard not to type myself.

Well, I actually first got into music as a small child, and as I became a teen, I sought out making money from music, weather that was singing lounge gigs, backup in studios, or weddings.
实际上，我第一次接触音乐是在我很小的时候，当我十几岁的时候，我想从音乐中赚钱，无论是在酒吧里唱歌，还是在录音室里当伴唱，还是在婚礼上。
I have been able to tap into all the negative things that can happen to me throughout my life by numbing myself to the pain so to speak and kind of being able to vent it through my music.
我能够通过麻木自己的痛苦来挖掘我一生中可能发生的所有负面的事情，可以说，我能够通过我的音乐来发泄。
