A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
个人
Myself
I don't know if this is the kind of retrospective analysis that people are fond of applying to their work or actions, but it feels like I knew I was going to be famous and I knew that an element of that would be traumatic, so that if I could make myself something big and otherworldly, it would be a kind of defence.
我不知道这是一种回顾性分析,人们喜欢申请他们的工作或行动,但感觉就像我知道我将是著名的和我知道的创伤,因此,如果我能让自己大,超凡脱俗,那将是一种防御。
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'm a big potato chip girl. I don't like chocolate and cakes and all that, but I have to have my potato chips. I've got bags in the back of my car right now! But I never beat myself up about it, because, look: You can't give up every damn thing. You need something in your life that you like just because you like it!
我是一个爱吃薯条的女孩。我不喜欢巧克力和蛋糕之类的东西，但我必须吃薯条。我的车后面现在就有包!但我从不为此自责，因为，听着:你不能放弃所有该死的东西。在你的生活中，你需要一些你喜欢的东西，因为你喜欢它!
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 consider myself as a singer first, but something that really helped me come into my own is that there's not a separation between me singing and me playing the guitar. The two fed off the other.
我认为自己首先是一名歌手，但真正帮助我实现自我的是，我唱歌和弹吉他之间并没有分离。两个人互相取食。
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。
A school out of Canberra sends me a term's worth of work. I sit on the couch by myself and complete it and send it back.
堪培拉的一所学校送我一学期的工作。我一个人坐在沙发上完成它，然后把它寄回去。
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。
