A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
个人
Myself
I often think I can see it in myself and in other young writers, this desperate desire to please coupled with a kind of hostility to the reader.
我经常认为我可以在自己和其他年轻作家身上看到这一点，这种对取悦他人的绝望渴望，加上对读者的敌意。
I try to keep myself on an even keel by trying to be as critical of myself as I am of other people. I try to separate my performance from myself.
我试着像批评别人一样批评自己，以使自己保持镇定。我试着把我的表演和我自己分开。
It's a mental fake-out to myself. I make believe I'm making a new show so I forget the material I was working on and make up some fresh material.
这是对我自己的心理欺骗。我假装我在做一个新节目，所以我忘记了我正在做的材料，编造了一些新的材料。
I have to keep reminding myself that I am their mother. Sometimes we are sitting at home and I feel like we are waiting for our mom to come home.
我必须不断提醒自己，我是他们的母亲。有时我们坐在家里，我觉得我们在等妈妈回家。
My mother says I didn't open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked.
我妈妈说我出生后八天没有睁开眼睛，但当我睁开眼睛时，我看到的第一件事是一枚订婚戒指。我完全被迷住了。
I don't really belong to that world and I don't think anyone's going to miss me. I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.
我不属于那个世界，我不认为任何人会想念我。我更高兴的是把自己完全从剧本中写出来。
I write about myself with the same pencil and in the same exercise book as about him. It is no longer I, but another whose life is just beginning.
我用和他一样的铅笔和练习本写我自己。不再是我，而是另一个生命刚刚开始的人。
Because I'm married and have kids, I feel like I sometimes get pegged as a choirboy or something, but I wouldn't exactly describe myself that way.
因为我结了婚，有了孩子，我觉得自己有时会被贴上唱诗班男孩之类的标签，但我不会这样描述自己。
I cannot cure myself of that most woeful of youth's follies - thinking that those who care about us will care for the things that mean much to us.
我无法治愈我自己那最可悲的青春的愚蠢——认为那些关心我们的人会关心那些对我们意义重大的事情。
For me, half the joy of achieving has been the struggle and the fight, the pitting myself against the world and all its competition - and winning.
对我来说，成功的一半喜悦是奋斗和斗争，是让自己与世界和所有竞争对手作斗争并取得胜利。
I do, indeed, close my door at times and surrender myself to a book, but only because I can open the door again and see a human face looking at me.
我确实时常关上门，埋头读书，但这只是因为我能再次打开门，看到一张人脸在看着我。
I get enough sleep. I take very good care of myself. Growing up as a dancer, you know your body so well, you know what to do to overcome something.
我有足够的睡眠。我把自己照顾得很好。作为一名舞蹈演员，你对自己的身体非常了解，你知道该做什么来克服一些事情。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I never direct myself, because I don't like working with me. I would punch me in the mouth if I had to take my direction.
我从不指挥自己，因为我不喜欢和我一起工作。如果我必须指出我的方向，我就会打自己的嘴巴。
I'm so embarrassed by that album. I don't even own it myself.
那张专辑让我很尴尬。我自己都没有。
I'd like to be more patient! I just want everything now. I've tried to meditate, but it's really hard for me to stay still. I'd like to try to force myself to do it, because everybody says how wonderful meditation is for you, but I can't shut my mind up. So patience and learning is the key.
我想要更有耐心!我现在什么都想要。我试着冥想，但对我来说很难保持静止。我想强迫自己去做，因为每个人都说冥想对你来说是多么美妙，但是我不能把自己的思想封闭起来。所以耐心和学习是关键。
I never thought of myself as a writer.
我从未想过自己会成为一名作家。
One day I caught myself smiling for no reason, then I realized I was thinking of you.
有一天，我突然发现自己在无缘无故地笑，然后我意识到我在想你。
More and more, it feels like I'm doing a really bad impersonation of myself.
越来越多的时候，我觉得自己演得很糟糕。
