A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
个人
Myself
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。
Which implies that the real issue in art is the audience's response. Now I claim that when I make things, I don't care about the audience's response, I'm making them for myself. But I'm making them for myself as audience, because I want to wake myself up.
这意味着艺术的真正问题在于观众的反应。现在我说，当我做东西的时候，我不关心观众的反应，我是为自己做的。但我把它们作为观众呈现给自己，因为我想唤醒自己。
All novels are about crime. You'd be hard pressed to find any novel that does not have an element of crime. I don't see myself as a crime novelist, but there are crimes in my books. That's the nature of storytelling, if you want to reflect the real world.
所有的小说都是关于犯罪的。你很难找到没有犯罪元素的小说。我不认为自己是犯罪小说家，但我的书中也有犯罪。如果你想反映真实世界，这就是讲故事的本质。
I had to get used to wearing a mask and wearing a prosthetic and performing with those things while singing and expressing myself through stylized movement, while keeping it as human as possible so the audience could be closer to the horror of the Phantom.
我必须习惯戴着面具，戴着假体，一边用这些东西表演，一边唱歌，通过程式化的动作表达自己，同时尽可能地让它人性化，让观众更接近幽灵的恐怖。
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。
I'm at peace with myself and where I am. In the past, I was always looking to see how everybody else was doing. I wasn't competitive, I was comparative. I just wanted to be where everybody else was. Now I've gotten to an age when I am not comparing anymore.
我对自己和我所处的地方都很平静。在过去，我总是观察别人的表现。我没有竞争力，我只是比较。我只想和其他人一样。现在我已经到了不再攀比的年龄。
It's great fun if you get a good piece of writing and you can pretend to be someone else, tell a story that needs to be told, make some kind of connection. I've always fancied myself as a leading man, but I really doubt whether anyone else sees me that way.
如果你有一篇好文章，你可以假装成别人，讲一个需要讲的故事，建立某种联系，这是非常有趣的。我一直把自己想象成一个男主角，但我真的怀疑其他人是否会这么看我。
I think I've grown a lot in the last few years, and I needed to express myself as an artist on this. It wasn't necessarily about going in and making an album chocked full of hit singles... there were a lot of things I did out of the joy and the want to do it.
我想我在过去的几年里成长了很多，我需要在这方面表现出我作为一个艺术家的一面。这并不是说一定要做一张满是热门单曲的专辑……我做了很多事情都是出于快乐和想要去做。
I respected it. I submerged myself into it. So on a lot of days off I would go and fish with the fishermen and the families that ran the boats. I would go work the fields with farmers. I would go and talk with farmers about growing particular products for me.
我尊重它。我沉浸在其中。所以在很多休息日，我会和渔民以及经营渔船的家庭一起钓鱼。我会和农民一起去田里干活。我会去和农民谈论为我种植特定产品的事。
I am content with nothing, restless and ambitious... and I despise myself for the vanity, which formed half the stimulus to my exertions. Oh would that I were one of those plodding wise fools who having once set their hand to the plough go on nothing doubting.
我什么都不满足，躁动不安，野心勃勃……我鄙视自己的虚荣心，虚荣心是我努力的一半动力。啊，但愿我是那些曾经着手犁地的迟钝而又聪明的傻瓜之一，什么也不怀疑。
You know, as a young child, I lay in my bedroom and I swore to myself then: 'I'm not going to smoke and I'm not going to drink.' And I said I'm not going to just say that when I'm a kid. I'm going to stick to that as an adult. I kept that in mind my whole life.
你知道，当我还是个小孩子的时候，我躺在卧室里对自己发誓:‘我不抽烟也不喝酒。“我说过，当我还是个孩子的时候，我不会这么说。作为一个成年人，我将坚持这一点。我一生都牢记这一点。
I finally realized that yeah I did want to be an actor and it wasn't out of habit, but I needed to grow up for myself and then kind of re-enter the industry with a sound understanding of what my sensibilities and my values are as a relatively formed human being.
我终于意识到,是的,我想成为一个演员,这不是出于习惯,但是我需要为自己长大,然后重新进入的行业,良好的理解我的感情和我的价值观作为一个相对形成了人类。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
I have to laugh at myself.
我不得不自嘲。
I'd like to be more patient! I just want everything now. I've tried to meditate, but it's really hard for me to stay still. I'd like to try to force myself to do it, because everybody says how wonderful meditation is for you, but I can't shut my mind up. So patience and learning is the key.
我想要更有耐心!我现在什么都想要。我试着冥想，但对我来说很难保持静止。我想强迫自己去做，因为每个人都说冥想对你来说是多么美妙，但是我不能把自己的思想封闭起来。所以耐心和学习是关键。
I used to hate looking in the mirror. I've grown up into myself and now I'm happy with the way I look.
我过去讨厌照镜子。我已经长大了，现在我对自己的样子很满意。
Retiring for good wasn't difficult. I knew at the time it was right. I was no longer capable of achieving the standards I'd set myself and there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
永久退休并不难。我当时就知道这是对的。我不再有能力达到我给自己设定的标准，而且前途无量。
I didn't go out of my way to get into this movie stuff. I think of myself as a writer.
我并不是特意去拍这部电影的。我认为自己是个作家。
