“我是个全力以赴的人,当我对某件事感兴趣时,我不会做四分之三、不会做十分之九,如果我要做一件事,我就会全力以赴。”
“I am someone who is all in. When I’m interested in something, I won’t do three-quarters or nine-tenths of it; if I’m going to do something, I’m going to give it my all.”
“当我还是年轻演员时,人们在我还没有真正了解自己之前就试图定义我。但我仍旧记得我当时的念头:‘这就是我爱做的事,我希望我能永远做下去。’”
“When I was a young actor, people tried to define me before I even knew who I was. But I remember thinking, ‘This is what I love to do, and I hope I can do it forever.’”
“我从来没有为了钱选择过作品,因为如果你是为了票房做选择,那没了这个,你就会一无所有。”
“I have never chosen a project for money, because if you choose based on box office, when that’s gone, you have nothing left.”
“我从未迟到。因为我相信能做我喜爱的事,这是一种荣幸。”
“I have never been late. Because I believe that being able to do what I love is a privilege.”
“奖项是美好的,我被提名过很多次也赢得过许多奖项。但我的人生旅程目标并不是为了那个。如果发生了那会很棒,但如果没有发生依然也很棒。”
“Awards are wonderful; I’ve been nominated many times and won many awards. But my life’s journey is not about that. It would be great if it happens, but if it doesn’t, that’s great too.”
“我从未拍过一部我不信任的电影,无论电影的结果如何,我都会全力以赴,这也是我对待生活的方式。”
“I’ve never made a movie I didn’t believe in. No matter what the outcome, I will give it my all; that’s how I approach life.”
“我喜欢拍电影,因为在角色过程中,你会必须重新审视自己。若是‘他’,你会发生什么不一样的事。”
“I love making movies because in the process of becoming a character, you have to re-examine yourself. If you were ‘him,’ what would be different?”
“在做选择时,我会综合许多因素考虑。不过我喜欢拍摄不同类型的电影,想法很简单:‘我想挑战自己,并找到振奋我并且让我想持续锻炼的东西。’”
“When making choices, I consider many factors. But I enjoy shooting different types of films; it’s simple: ‘I want to challenge myself and find things that excite me and make me want to keep working.’”
“动作片不能只是动作片,因为如果没有好的故事和角色,作品就无法引人入胜。”
“An action film cannot just be an action film; if there isn’t a good story and characters, it won’t engage the audience.”
“当你必须应对很多问题时,会选择沉没还是游泳活下去?”
“When you’re faced with many challenges, do you choose to sink or swim?”
“我对自己要求很高,出自于我想学习、我喜欢挑战,所以我给自己创造了很多挑战。”
“I have high expectations for myself, born out of my desire to learn and my love for challenges, so I create many challenges for myself.”
“我已经非常擅长安排我的生活,我甚至会节省自己的能量,来为将来做准备,因为人生是场耐力赛。”
“I have become very good at managing my life; I even save my energy to prepare for the future because life is a marathon.”
“我持续在变化、进化和成长,因为能力巅峰是不存在的,你必须一直突破而不是坐下来休息。”
“I am constantly changing, evolving, and growing because there is no peak to ability; you must continually push yourself rather than sit back and rest.”
