A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

个人

Myself

Being an actor myself I realize that all actors believe they are qualified to play any role. If you showed me a script with a black woman character I would tell you that I could do it. That is what we do. We act as if we are someone else.

作为一名演员,我意识到所有的演员都认为自己有资格扮演任何角色。如果你给我看一个有黑人女性角色的剧本,我会告诉你我能做到。这就是我们所做的。我们表现得好像我们是另一个人。

I put myself in the place of the listener when editing my writing. The last thing that I want to do is be preached at and told who to be or what to think when listening to an artist. However, I do want to be inspired. There's a fine line.

当我编辑我的文章时,我把自己放在听众的位置上。我最不愿意做的事情就是被灌输给一个艺术家,告诉他应该成为什么样的人,或者在聆听艺术家的作品时该怎么想。然而,我确实想要得到启发。这是有界限的。

I could have made money this way, and perhaps amused myself writing code. But I knew that at the end of my career, I would look back on years of building walls to divide people, and feel I had spent my life making the world a worse place.

我本可以用这种方式赚钱,或许还可以自娱自乐地编写代码。但我知道,在我的职业生涯结束时,当我回首多年来筑起隔离人们的高墙时,我会觉得我的一生让世界变得更糟。

You know I need that cockiness, the self-belief, arrogance, swagger, whatever you want to call it, I need that on the golf course to bring the best out of myself. So you know once I leave the golf course, you know that all gets left there.

你知道我需要那种自大,自信,自大,狂妄,不管你怎么说,我需要在高尔夫球场上表现出最好的自己。所以你知道,一旦我离开高尔夫球场,你知道所有的东西都被留在那里。

After a prosperous, but to me very wearisome, voyage, we came at last into port. Immediately on landing I got together my few effects; and, squeezing myself through the crowd, went into the nearest and humblest inn which first met my gaze.

我们经过了一次很顺利但又使我很厌烦的航行,终于进了港。一上岸,我就把仅有的几件东西收拾好;我挤过人群,走进最近的一家客店,这是我第一次看到这家客店。

When I'm writing, I'm trying to immerse myself in the chaos of an emotional experience, rather than separate myself from it and look back at it from a distance with clarity and tell it as a story. Because that's how life is lived, you know?

当我写作的时候,我试着让自己沉浸在一种情感体验的混乱中,而不是把自己和它分离开来,从远处清晰地回顾它,把它当作一个故事来讲述。因为这就是生活,你知道吗?

I look out of this window and I think this is a cosmos, this is a huge creation, this is one small corner of it. The trees and birds and everything else and I'm part of it. I didn't ask to be put here, I've been lucky in finding myself here.

我看着窗外,我想这是一个宇宙,这是一个巨大的创造,这是它的一个小角落。树、鸟和其他一切,我都是其中的一部分。我没有要求被放在这里,我很幸运地发现自己在这里。

Sometimes I have a tough time getting along with myself. When I was a child, I needed a lot of attention... and I don't have a small ego. For me, appearing on a stage or presenting a cake is the same thing. You need a crowd around you to do it.

有时候我很难和自己相处。当我还是个孩子的时候,我需要很多的关注……我可不是小我。对我来说,出现在舞台上或展示蛋糕是一回事。你需要一群人围在你身边来做这件事。

KEEP EXPLORING

沿着这个主题,再读几句。

I see myself as a citizen of the planet. Even as a child, I always found it mindless to root for your own team. I was puzzled by the fact that people said their own team was better than other teams simply because it was theirs.

我把自己看作是这个星球的公民。甚至当我还是个孩子的时候,我就发现为自己的团队加油是愚蠢的。人们说他们自己的球队比其他球队好,只是因为这是他们的球队,这让我很困惑。

I am an enthusiast, but not a crank in the sense that I have some pet theories as to the proper construction of a flying machine. I wish to avail myself of all that is already known and then, if possible, add my mite to help on the future worker who will attain final success.

我是一个狂热的爱好者,但并不是一个怪人,因为我有一些关于如何正确建造飞行器的理论。我希望利用我自己已经知道的一切,然后,如果可能的话,加上我的一点,以帮助未来的工人谁将获得最终的成功。

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT

给此刻的你,一点向前的力量。
