A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
个人
Myself
There are too many leaders anointed because they have a public voice - television, radio, or record, or whatever. That even includes myself. In the past, I'd say, 'Don't anoint me when you can anoint yourself.'
有太多的领导人被选定是因为他们拥有公众的声音——电视、广播、唱片等等。甚至包括我自己。在过去，我会说:“当你能给自己涂油的时候，就不要给我涂。”
The last two times I went to spring training, I had to win a job, and if I didn't get off to a blazing start, I'm on the bench. Now, I've proven myself, so it's not essential that I get off to a real good start.
上两次春训，我必须赢得一份工作，如果我不能有一个好的开始，我只能坐在板凳上。现在，我已经证明了自己，所以没有必要让我有一个好的开始。
I think my perception of my own life is different and the fact that Lauren and myself are together. I've never felt this free or happy and so that permeates onto my onstage persona and to my working environment.
我认为我对自己生活的看法是不同的，事实上劳伦和我在一起。我从来没有感到过这样的自由和快乐，所以这种感觉渗透到了我的舞台形象和工作环境中。
I like thinking of myself as invisible. I find it a very advantageous way to live. Unfortunately, its not the way the music business works. If you don't create some kind of public image, it gets created for you.
我喜欢认为自己是隐形的。我发现这是一种非常有利的生活方式。不幸的是，这不是音乐行业的运作方式。如果你不创造某种公共形象，它就会为你创造。
At this stage of my life, I've dedicated myself to playing what I want to play, how I want to play it for the rest of my time. Regardless of whether one might like it or one might not like it, this is where I am.
在我人生的这个阶段，我全身心地投入到演奏我想演奏的东西，以及我想用怎样的方式演奏我的余生。不管你喜不喜欢，这就是我的处境。
I have been aware all the time that my peoples, spread far and wide throughout every continent and ocean in the world, were united to support me in the task to which I have now been dedicated with such solemnity.
我一直意识到，我的人民分布在世界上每一个大陆和海洋的遥远和广阔的地方，他们团结一致，支持我执行我现在以如此庄严的态度献身于的任务。
I said to myself, I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down.
我对自己说，我脑子里有些东西是别人教我的东西不一样的——形状和想法离我如此之近——它们对我的存在和思考方式如此自然，以至于我从来没有想过要把它们放下。
In spite of the haze of speculation, it is still something of a shock to find myself here, coming to terms with an enormous trust placed in my hands and with the inevitable sense of inadequacy that goes with that.
尽管有种种猜测的迷雾，但当我发现自己来到这里，面对自己手中的巨大信任，以及随之而来的不可避免的不足感，我还是有些震惊。
Picasso's always been such a huge influence that I thought when I started the cartoon paintings that I was getting away from Picasso, and even my cartoons of Picasso were done almost to rid myself of his influence.
毕加索对我的影响是如此之大，以至于当我开始画漫画的时候，我想我正在远离毕加索，甚至我画的毕加索漫画几乎都是为了摆脱他的影响。
One reason I do the live shows - and the monthly speeches at public radio stations - is to remind myself that people hear the show, that it has an audience, that it exists in the world. It's so easy to forget that.
我做现场表演的一个原因——以及每个月在公共电台的演讲——是为了提醒自己，人们听到了这个节目，它有观众，它存在于世界上。很容易忘记这一点。
When younger, I was thin as a rail. As I've grown older, I've put on weight. I have continued to love myself in all those roles. Part of my spirituality, I always tell people, is to accept yourself for who you are.
年轻时，我瘦得像根栏杆。随着年龄的增长，我的体重增加了。在所有这些角色中，我一直爱着自己。我总是告诉人们，我的精神的一部分就是接受真实的自己。
I think it's important to take a break, you know, from the public eye for a while, and give people a chance to miss you. I want longevity. I don't want to get out there and run myself ragged and spread myself thin.
我认为休息一下很重要，你知道，远离公众的视线，给人们一个想念你的机会。我想要长寿。我不想走出去，把自己弄得精疲力竭，把自己摊得很瘦。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
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。
If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud.
如果你问我来到这个世界是为了做什么，我将告诉你:我是为了大声地活着。
I've done well for myself.
我为自己做得很好。
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。
I see myself as the same person as I was, as I am now.
我把自己看作过去的自己，现在的自己。
