A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
I really, really love music. I'm affected by it and uplifted by it, and made to laugh and cry, and almost fall in love with the person who has made me feel so brilliant and communicated so profoundly to me.
我非常非常喜欢音乐。我为之感动，为之振奋，为之欢笑，为之哭泣，几乎爱上了那个让我感到如此辉煌、如此深刻地与我交流的人。
My husband is a composer, so he plays piano all the time and I sit there and clap telling my unborn child, 'Hear me clap, hear the music.' I know music, in general, is supposed to be good for babies to hear.
我的丈夫是一位作曲家，所以他一直在弹钢琴，我坐在那里拍手，对我未出生的孩子说，‘听我拍手，听音乐。“我知道，一般来说，音乐对婴儿的听力是有好处的。
I wondered how people would take me being a country music singer. I thought about deviating from that and singing other things. But... it doesn't really make sense for me to try to be something that I'm not.
我想知道人们会如何看待我成为一名乡村音乐歌手。我想过要偏离这一点，唱点别的。但是…对我来说，试图成为我不是的人是没有意义的。
There are a lot of influences from different countries in my music. For example, I chose the guitar in my music, I think that it is a feminine instrument, so when I do not sing, the music expresses my voice.
在我的音乐中有很多来自不同国家的影响。例如，我在我的音乐中选择了吉他，我认为它是一种女性的乐器，所以当我不唱歌的时候，音乐表达了我的声音。
Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art.
音乐是你自己的经历，你自己的思想，你自己的智慧。如果你不好好生活，它就不会从你的号角里出来。他们告诉你音乐是有界限的。但是，伙计，艺术是没有界限的。
The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former music is always greater than its performance - whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being played.
古典音乐和爵士乐的基本区别在于前者的音乐总是比它的演奏更重要，而爵士乐的演奏方式总是比演奏的内容更重要。
If it turns out to be a hit, well, good luck dealing with fame. And if it's not a hit and you can still survive and make music you believe in, well, then you're truly blessed. I think that's where we are now.
如果结果很成功，那就祝你在处理名声问题上好运吧。如果这首歌不卖座，你还能活下来，还能创作出你相信的音乐，那你就真的很幸运了。我想这就是我们现在的处境。
It's part of the calling to at least do a few songs in the show that give people some hope. There's so much hurt in this world and... music is such a great healing balm and a great way to forget your troubles.
这是我的一部分呼吁，至少在节目中做一些歌曲，给人们一些希望。这个世界上有太多的伤害和…音乐是一种很好的治愈良药，也是忘记烦恼的好方法。
I know some people will be surprised to hear it, but I've found that my music, whether its blues or rock, or whatever you want to call it, can be channeled into a positive direction that actually helps people.
我知道有些人听到它会感到惊讶，但我发现我的音乐，无论是蓝调还是摇滚，或者你想叫它什么，都可以引导到一个积极的方向，实际上可以帮助人们。
The songs are not necessarily autobiographical. A lot of songs are a combination of influences. It might be some part of my life, or something I've felt, or something somebody's told me. It all comes together.
这些歌曲不一定是自传体的。很多歌曲都是多种影响的结合。这可能是我生活的一部分，或者是我感觉到的，或者是别人告诉我的。这一切都在一起。
My training in music and composition then led me to a kind of musical language process in which, for example, the sound of the words I play with has to expose their true meaning against their will so to speak.
我在音乐和作曲方面的训练使我进入了一种音乐语言的过程，例如，我演奏的单词的声音不得不违背它们的本意。
I'm into sincerity in music and sincerity in art. If it doesn't feel true, I don't want to do it. Things that are too dramatic scare me. I think that's why I don't always fit into the world of performing arts.
我喜欢真诚的音乐和真诚的艺术。如果感觉不对，我就不想做。太戏剧化的事情让我害怕。我想这就是为什么我不能融入表演艺术的世界。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I don't stand for the black man's side, I don' t stand for the white man's side. I stand for God's side.
我不代表黑人的立场，我也不代表白人的立场。我支持上帝。
Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.
没有什么比音乐更能把两代人分开了。当一个孩子八九岁的时候，他对自己的音乐产生了一种热情，这种热情甚至超过了他对拖延症和古怪衣服的热情。
Without music life would be a mistake.
没有音乐，生活将是一个错误。
As long as your intention is pure, and you know what you're in it for, then you're alright. And I'm in it because I enjoy it. I take it seriously... real seriously. I mean I could sit and talk all day about the music.
只要你的意图是纯洁的，你知道你在做什么，那么你就没事了。我参与其中是因为我喜欢它。我很认真……真正的认真。我的意思是我可以整天坐着谈论音乐。
You're not right in the head, and nor am I, and this is why....this is why I like you.
你脑子不正常，我也不正常，这就是为什么…这就是我喜欢你的原因。
I made a good living for a teenager. And I had to learn all different kinds of music - jazz, swing, Motown, pop - and that inspired what kind of music I started to write.
我为一个十几岁的孩子过着很好的生活。我必须学习各种各样的音乐——爵士乐、摇摆乐、汽车城、流行音乐——这启发了我开始创作什么样的音乐。
