A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Quite
They look quite promising in the shop; and not entirely without hope when I get them back into my wardrobe. But then, when I put them on they tend to deteriorate with a very strange rapidity and one feels so sorry for them.
他们在商店里看起来很有前途;当我把它们放回衣橱的时候，也不是完全没有希望。但是，当我穿上它们时，它们会以一种非常奇怪的速度恶化，人们会为它们感到难过。
One of the pleasures of being an actor is quite simply taking a walk in someone else's shoes. And when I look at the roles I've played, I'm kind of amazed at all the wonderful adventures I've had and the different things I've learned.
当演员的乐趣之一就是换位思考。当我看到我所扮演的角色时，我对我所经历的所有奇妙的冒险和我学到的不同的东西感到惊讶。
Once I got a record contract, and I took my songs which weren't quite finished, or maybe they were a good idea, maybe they weren't. I took them into the studio and developed them. They came to life and they evolved... and they're great.
有一次我签了唱片合同，我把那些还没完成的歌拿了过来，也许它们是个好主意，也许不是。我把它们带进工作室，冲洗出来。他们活了过来，他们进化了……他们好了。
I'm quite contrary. If people agree on something, I tend to gravitate the other way by my nature. I don't like to be told what to do. I think it goes back to school. I like to do things I want to do and I really don't like doing what I don't want to do.
我完全相反。如果人们在某件事上意见一致，我的天性就会倾向于另一种方式。我不喜欢别人告诉我该做什么。我想这要追溯到学校。我喜欢做我想做的事，我真的不喜欢做我不想做的事。
When you're young, you don't really know quite what you're aiming at. You're very impulsive and acting on impulse, which is very important and valuable. But you're kind of swimming in a blind sea. When you get older, you have more of a sense of direction.
当你年轻的时候，你并不十分清楚自己的目标是什么。你很冲动，会冲动行事，这很重要，也很有价值。但你是在盲海中游泳。当你长大后，你会有更多的方向感。

Many an article that I myself penned twenty years ago impresses me now as something quite foreign to myself.
二十年前我自己写的许多文章现在给我的印象是，它们对我来说是相当陌生的东西。
I have to be alone very often. It be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel.
