A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创造
Creation
There must be an inviolate place where the choices and decisions, however imperfect, are the writer's own, where the decision must be as individual and solitary as birth or death.
必须有一个不可侵犯的地方，那里的选择和决定，无论多么不完美，都是作者自己的，那里的决定必须像出生或死亡一样是个人和孤独的。
Whatever precautions you take so the photograph will look like this or that, there comes a moment when the photograph surprises you. It is the other's gaze that wins out and decides.
无论你采取什么预防措施，使照片看起来像这样或那样，总会有一个时刻，照片会让你感到惊讶。是对方的目光赢得了胜利并做出了决定。
When I decide to write a story, I don't think too much about what I want it to be, I just let things come naturally and this is how it turns out. It's just how my subconscious works.
当我决定写一个故事的时候，我不会想太多我想要的是什么，我只是顺其自然，结果就是这样。我的潜意识就是这样运作的。
And when thy Lord said to the angels, ‘See, I am creating a mortal of a clay of mud moulded. When I have shaped him, and breathed My spirit in him, fall you down, bowing before him!’
你的主对天使说，看哪，我要用泥土造成人。等我塑造了他，把我的灵魂吹进他的身体里，你就俯伏在他面前，向他下拜!”
We always feel pretty creative as far as writing songs. We write them together; we just get in a room, or on occasion in Flea's garage. We just sort of improvise, like jazz musicians.
我们总是觉得写歌很有创意。我们一起写;我们只是进入一个房间，或者偶尔进入跳蚤的车库。我们只是即兴创作，就像爵士音乐家一样。
By painting colors and lines and forms seen in quickened mood I was seeking to make this mood vibrate as a phonograph does. This was the origin of the paintings in The Frieze of Life.

What we need to do is really improve energy efficiency standards, develop in full scale renewable and alternative energy and use the one resource we have in abundance, our creativity.

Sometimes you give birth to something or you're part of a team that gives birth to an idea, and it grows and has a whole life of its own, and you feel grateful. It's just so humbling.
有时候你产生了一些东西，或者你是一个团队的一员，这个团队产生了一个想法，然后这个想法就成长了，并且拥有了自己的整个生命，你感到很感激。真是太丢人了。
We must prepare the ground for creativity. And if this also gives rise later to success in the economic sense, success in terms of Euros and Cents, this will by no means reduce my joy.

I believe in something. But I don't believe that anything can hold a grudge for long enough to condemn its creation to eternal punishment. Nobody can hold a grudge that long, even God.
我有信仰。但我不相信有什么东西能长久地怀恨在心，使它的创造受到永恒的惩罚。没有人会怨恨那么久，即使是上帝。
Creative people are very insecure people because they don't know whether people like them or are in awe of them. That insecurity always comes out. It makes them a better actor, I feel.
有创造力的人是非常没有安全感的人，因为他们不知道人们是喜欢他们还是畏惧他们。这种不安全感总会显现出来。我觉得这会让他们成为更好的演员。
