A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
个人
Myself
When I sing for myself, I probably sing for anyone who has any kind of hurt, any kind of bad feelings, good feelings, ups and downs, highs and lows, that kind of thing.
当我为自己唱歌的时候,我可能会为任何受过伤害的人唱歌,任何不好的感觉,好的感觉,起起落落,高潮和低谷,诸如此类。
As a child, what captivated me was reading the poems myself and realizing that there was a world without material substance which was nevertheless as alive as any other.
当我还是个孩子的时候,吸引我的是我自己阅读诗歌,并意识到有一个没有物质实体的世界,尽管如此,它和其他世界一样充满活力。
I don't like talking about myself. I'm not really interested in myself. One of the good things about being a supporting actor is that you get to talk about other people.
我不喜欢谈论我自己。我对自己不太感兴趣。作为一个配角的好处之一就是你可以谈论其他人。
It wasn't until I became more confident with myself and I put myself forward instead of the jokes; at first it was put the jokes out there and I'm just behind the jokes.
直到我对自己有了更多的自信,我不再讲笑话,而是把自己推向前进;一开始是讲笑话,而我只是在背后讲笑话。
I learned easily and had time to follow my inclination for sports (light athletics and skiing) and chemistry, which I taught myself by reading all textbooks I could get.
我学得很轻松,有时间跟随自己对运动(轻型运动和滑雪)和化学的爱好,我通过阅读所有能找到的教科书自学。
I had to teach myself to let go of the conventional rock way of playing guitar and singing. Some things you wouldn't expect to work, did and some things won't ever work.
我不得不自学放弃传统的摇滚吉他和演唱方式。有些事你不希望成功,有些事你做了,有些事永远不会成功。
I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being 'someone's girlfriend', and now I am happy being single.
我已经走出了感情的舞台,开始接受自己。我成年后的大部分时间都是“某人的女朋友”,现在我很高兴单身。
But I wasn't getting in my pace, staying within myself, I was getting a little rushed. So I think I finally took a couple deep breaths and let myself get my timing back.
但我并没有跟上节奏,我只是有点匆忙。所以我想我终于做了几次深呼吸,让自己找回了时间。
This almost never happens, but what is really relaxing is just being in this house all by myself, sitting quietly and watching TV. But I basically never get that chance.
这几乎从未发生过,但真正令人放松的是独自一人坐在这所房子里,静静地坐着看电视。但我基本上从来没有这样的机会。
I'm really, really enjoying myself, I seem to have a lot of purpose in my life. I'm enjoying what I'm doing, you know, and people are liking it. So, it's great, you know.
我非常非常享受我自己,我的生活似乎有很多目标。我很享受我所做的,你知道,人们也很喜欢。所以,你知道,这很棒。
I take conscious breaks for myself 'cause I like to rejuvenate and get my creative juices flowing. I also like to take my time with my creativity; I think it's important.
我给自己有意识的休息,因为我喜欢恢复活力,让我的创造力流动起来。我也喜欢花时间发挥我的创造力;我认为这很重要。
Everything, I just wanted to be like my father. And, as I grew within the music, I kind of became myself which was even more like my father, only without me trying though.
一切,我只是想像我父亲一样。随着我在音乐中成长,我变得更像我的父亲,尽管我没有尝试。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I am the author of my life. Unfortunately I'm writing in pen and I can't erase my mistakes.
我是我生命的作者。不幸的是,我用钢笔写,我不能抹去我的错误。
I play piano and guitar and I do write my own stuff so to a certain extent I know what I want to do in regards to music. But I'm still finding out what kind of music is my favourite kind to listen to, never mind do myself so I've got a lot of time to find out myself and develop myself as an artist.
我弹钢琴和吉他,我也写我自己的东西,所以在某种程度上,我知道我想在音乐方面做什么。但是我仍然在寻找哪种音乐是我最喜欢听的,更不用说我自己了,所以我有很多时间去发现自己,把自己培养成一个艺术家。
I remember listening to the radio as a kid and finding that the songs always made me feel more peaceful. Funny, but the more hurtin' the music was, the better it made me feel. I think of that now when I write my songs. I may not be feelin' the blues myself, but I'm writing them for other people who have a hard life.
我记得当我还是个孩子的时候听收音机,发现那些歌曲总是让我感到更平静。很有趣,但音乐越伤人,我的感觉就越好。我现在写歌的时候就会想到这一点。我自己可能没有感到忧郁,但我在为那些生活艰难的人写这些歌。

My sun sets to raise again.
