A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
个人
Myself
So I did that for a long time in my career, and I waited for parts to play myself just physically down a little bit. But I do feel like I'm at a place in my career now where I don't necessarily fret about that too much anymore.
所以我在我的职业生涯中有很长一段时间都是这样做的,我一直在等待角色让我的身体稍微放松一点。但我确实觉得我现在处于职业生涯的一个阶段,我不必再为那件事担心太多。
I think the biggest thing was that I was putting pressure on myself leading up to Beijing. Now I am learning how to take that pressure off and seeing this as an incredible opportunity, but not like, 'I absolutely have to medal.'
我认为最重要的事情是我给自己施加了压力,准备去北京。现在我正在学习如何减轻这种压力,并把这看作是一个不可思议的机会,但不是说“我一定要获得奖牌”。
I don't conduct myself like a rock 'n' roll star in my day-to-day living. Am I a celebrity? Yes. Do people recognize me on the street? Yes, they do. But at the same time, it's not a media center out here. People get used to you.
在我的日常生活中,我不像一个摇滚明星那样行事。我是名人吗?是的。人们在街上能认出我吗?是的,他们做的。但与此同时,这里并不是一个媒体中心。人们习惯了你。
This thing with everyone knowing you, it's weird, because people have this one-sided relationship where they look at your picture and feel they know you more than someone they actually know. I don't really know myself that well.
每个人都认识你,这很奇怪,因为人们有一种片面的关系,他们看着你的照片,觉得他们比他们真正认识的人更了解你。我对自己不是很了解。
What I've discovered and really confirmed to myself is that opera really likes loud colours, and you need something bold, something savage, unpredictable, passionate. You can't really run a two-hour opera round some muted murmuring.
我发现并向自己证实的是,歌剧真的很喜欢鲜艳的色彩,你需要一些大胆、野蛮、不可预测、充满激情的东西。你不可能围绕着一些无声的窃窃私语上演一部两小时的歌剧。
Anyone who claims to be good at lying is obviously bad at lying. Thus - as a writer myself - I cannot comment on whether or not writers are exceptionally good liars, because whatever I said would actually mean its complete opposite.
任何声称擅长说谎的人显然不擅长说谎。因此,作为一名作家,我无法评论作家是否特别善于说谎,因为我所说的一切实际上意味着完全相反的情况。
In order to set forth the goodness of God towards myself, I have thought it prudent to record some of the leading incidents of my life, as a means of setting forth to my children that He is a rewarder of them who diligently seek Him.
为了阐明上帝对我的恩惠,我认为明智的做法是把我一生中发生的一些主要事件记录下来,以便向我的孩子们表明,他是那些努力寻求他的人的酬报者。
They told me that they are starting a classic label, and wanted me to be the first artist. So I signed, and am producing myself, and writing my own music, but I'm their first artist on their classic label. And I have creative control.
他们告诉我,他们正在创建一个经典品牌,并希望我成为第一个艺术家。所以我签了名,开始创作自己的音乐,但我是他们经典品牌的第一个艺人。我有创造力。
The problem is, I don't think I've got too much to offer at the minute. I'm busy working on myself. This sounds like real therapy talk, but it's like, you've got to be happy with yourself before you can go out and get yourself a girl.
问题是,我不认为我现在能提供太多。我忙着做我自己。这听起来像是真正的治疗谈话,但这就像,在你能出去给自己找个女孩之前,你必须对自己感到快乐。
The first time I made myself up, I was looking at my reflection in the mirror and it wasn't me looking back. It allowed me to do things I couldn't do as myself. I found out how powerful that was and how much that can mean to an actor.
我第一次化妆的时候,我看着镜子里自己的倒影,而不是我在回头看。它让我可以做我自己不能做的事情。我发现那是多么的强大,对一个演员来说意味着多少。
I have always been very calm on the outside. I'm not too stressed now just because I'm in formula one. For me, tomorrow will be another day whether I finish first or last. I have to do the maximum and I cannot ask any more from myself.
我在外面一直很平静。我现在没有太大的压力,因为我在一级方程式。对我来说,无论我是第一个完成还是最后一个,明天都是新的一天。我必须尽力而为,我不能再要求自己了。
I used to go around looking as frumpy as possible because it was inconceivable you could be attractive as well as be smart. It wasn't until I started being myself, the way I like to turn out to meet people that I started to get any work.
我过去总是看起来很邋遢,因为很难想象你既聪明又有魅力。直到我开始做我自己,以我喜欢的方式去认识别人,我才开始找到工作。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I enjoy trying to inspire myself. I enjoy the artistic side of everything. Music, art, fashion, everything. I just like to be on the cutting edge of it. I'm into designing houses and interior design. I like change. I like creating things out of nothing.
我喜欢激励自己。我喜欢一切事物的艺术性。音乐,艺术,时尚,一切。我只是喜欢站在它的最前沿。我喜欢设计房子和室内设计。我喜欢改变。我喜欢无中生有。
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。
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 never thought of myself as a writer.
我从未想过自己会成为一名作家。
Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O Death!
死亡啊,我要向你奋起反抗,不屈服,不屈服!
If you aren't playing well, the game isn't as much fun. When that happens I tell myself just to go out and play as I did when I was a kid.
如果你打得不好,游戏就没有那么有趣了。当这种情况发生时,我告诉自己,就像我小时候一样出去玩。
