A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愚蠢
Stupid
And to stick our head in the sand and pretend that we are somehow safer if we do not know or to pretend we are somehow safer if we limit our options seems to me not only foolish but actually dangerous.
把头埋在沙子里,如果我们不知道,就假装我们更安全;如果我们限制我们的选择,就假装我们更安全。在我看来,这不仅愚蠢,而且实际上是危险的。

Such a faith would be fatal to my reason, to my liberty, and even to the success of my undertakings; it would immediately transform me into a stupid slave, an instrument of the will and interests of others.
这种信念对我的理智、自由,甚至对我事业的成功,都是致命的。它会立刻把我变成一个愚蠢的奴隶,成为别人意志和利益的工具。
I just think that people take me a little more seriously as a brunette. I don't know if that's just because of a societal preconceived notion that all blondes are stupid, but it's a different kind of attitude.

I got picked on a lot. I was a complete geek in school. I had braces. I didn't have the hot girlfriend. I wasn't ever sought after. I was a stocky, awkward kid who got laughed off the tennis court when I tried that.
我经常被人捉弄。我在学校是个十足的极客。我戴着牙套。我没有那个性感的女朋友。我从来没有被人追求过。我是一个矮胖笨拙的孩子,当我试着那样做的时候,他在网球场上被嘲笑了。
I used to have the most visceral response to having my photo taken. I felt like instantly bursting into tears and running out of the room. I hated all the attention, which is such a stupid thing for an actor to say.

I was kind of like chasing my tail and trying to do the right thing, and was a little bit stupid. Or irresponsible, which is the same thing I guess. It's just been really busy and I had a lot of great opportunities.

KEEP EXPLORING
