A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
个人
Myself
While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God's creation.
虽然我知道自己是上帝创造的，但我也有义务认识并记住，其他人和其他一切都是上帝创造的。
I have this phobia: I don't like mirrors. And I don't watch myself on television. If anything comes on, I make them shut it off, or I leave the room.
我有这种恐惧症:我不喜欢镜子。我不在电视上看自己。如果有什么事情发生，我会让他们把它关掉，或者我离开房间。
I think people recognize me if I am going out to dinner or if I am staying in a hotel. They are not quite sure at first because I have grown up a lot.
我想如果我出去吃饭或住在旅馆里，人们会认出我来。起初他们不太确定，因为我已经长大了很多。
From my earliest days I have enjoyed an attractive impediment in my speech. I have never permitted the use of the word stammer. I can't say it myself.
从我很小的时候起，我就喜欢说话有一种吸引人的障碍。我从不允许使用口吃这个词。我自己说不出来。
I set myself some specific goals, but the key one is just getting myself into as good a shape as possible for one day this year: the Olympic marathon.
我给自己定了一些具体的目标，但最关键的是让自己在今年的某一天保持尽可能好的身材:奥林匹克马拉松。
My ideal relaxation is working on upholstry. I spend hours in junk shops buying furniture. I do all the upholstery work myself, and it's like therapy.
我理想的放松方式是做室内装潢。我花好几个小时在旧货店买家具。所有的装潢工作都是我自己做的，就像心理治疗一样。
The women who inspired this play deserved to be smacked across the head with a meat ax and that, I flatter myself, is exactly what I smacked them with.
这部剧的灵感来自于一个女人，她应该被用一把肉斧狠狠地打在她的头上，我自认为，这正是我打她们的地方。
In my case, I pay a standard premium to participate in the Federal Employees' Health Benefits Plan for my wife and myself out of each month's paycheck.
就我个人而言，我每月从我妻子和我自己的工资中支付标准保费，以参加联邦雇员的健康福利计划。
The only honest and generous thing for me to do is to give people myself. That's all I've got as an artist, so I want to do that in an unflinching way.

My mother always told me, even if a song has been done a thousand times, you can still bring something of your own to it. I'd like to think I did that.
我妈妈总是告诉我，即使一首歌已经被唱了一千遍，你仍然可以把你自己的东西带进去。我想我做到了。
I know. I'm lazy. But I made myself a New Years resolution that I would write myself something really special. Which means I have 'til December, right?
我知道。我很懒。但是我给自己下了一个新年决心，我要给自己写一些特别的东西。也就是说我要到十二月份，对吧?
I had never really pictured myself working in children's ministries. I always figured I would be more comfortable with maybe teens or adult ministries.
我从来没有想象过自己会在儿童部门工作。我一直认为我更愿意和青少年或成年人一起做牧师。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
My mom died of cancer when I was really young. I'm not someone who tries to work out their own stuff with a role, but I think that happened despite my best efforts to keep myself separate from it.
我妈妈在我很小的时候就死于癌症。我并不是那种想要在一个角色中完成自己的事情的人，但我认为，尽管我尽了最大的努力让自己远离这个角色，但还是发生了这样的事情。
I've never had my brows done - I tweeze them myself. I used to watch my mom pluck her brows, that's how I learned.
我从来没有做过眉毛——我自己用镊子夹住眉毛。我曾经看着我妈妈拔眉毛，这就是我学到的。
I think, you know, it was something that I really wanted. I wanted so much to have a son or daughter. We adopted a son. And it was just the most wonderful thing. I think the only thing that was difficult for both Maury and myself were the sleepless nights.
我想，你知道，这是我真正想要的东西。我非常想要一个儿子或女儿。我们收养了一个儿子。这是最美妙的事情。我想，对莫里和我自己来说，唯一困难的是那些不眠之夜。
