No. 5: Process of elimination is the first step to our identity, a.k.a where you are not is as important as where you are.
第五点:不断进行清减是构建我们身份的第一步,也就是说,你不在的地方同你所在的地方一样重要。
All right, 1992, I got my first job as an actor.
好吧,1992年,我获得了我作为演员的第一份工作。
Three lines, three days' work, in a film called Dazed and Confused.
三行台词,三天的工作,在电影《年少轻狂》里。
All right, all right, all right. All right. There we go.
好吧,好吧,好吧。好吧。这样就对了。
So the director of that film, Richard Linklater, he kept inviting me back to set each night,
电影的导演理查德·林克莱特每晚都邀请我返回片场,
putting me in more scenes which led to more lines, all of which I happily said yes to.
让我拍更多的镜头,所以就有更多的台词,我对这一切都愉快地接受了。
I mean, I'm having a blast; people are telling me I'm good at what I'm doing, and they write me a check for $325 a day.
我是说,我非常开心,因为人们告诉我,我很擅长做正在做的事情,而且他们支付我每天325美元的酬劳。
I mean hell, yeah, give me more scenes; I love what I'm doing.
我的意思是,是的,让我多拍些镜头吧;我喜欢正在做的事情。
Well, by the end of the shoot, by the end of the film, those three lines had turned into over three weeks work, and it was mine;
好啦,拍摄结束、影片完成时,原来的三行台词已经变成了三个多星期的工作,它变成我的电影了;
it was Wooderson's 1970 Chevelle that we went to get Aerosmith tickets in. Yeah. It was bad ass.
我们开着伍德森的1970年雪佛兰去买“空中铁匠乐队”的演出票。是的,酷极了。
Well, a few years ago I'm watching this film again, and I notice two scenes that I really shouldn't have been in.
好啦,几年之后我又看了一遍这部影片,我注意到有两个场景我不该出现。
In one of these scenes, my character Wooderson, I exited screen left to head somewhere,
在其中一个场景里,我扮演的角色伍德森从左边退场前往某处,
then I re-entered the screen to double-check if any of the other characters wanted to go with me.
然后又重新进入镜头,再次确认是否有其他人想和他一起去。
Now, in re-watching the film, and you'll agree if you know Wooderson,
现在再次看电影,如果你了解伍德森的话,你会同意下面这一点:
Wooderson was not a guy who would ever say later, and then come back to see if you were sure you didn't wanna go.
他不是一个会过后折返,确定你是否的确不想去的人。
Now when Wooderson leaves, Wooderson is gone.
当伍德森离开时,他就走了。
He does not stutter step, flinch, rewind, ask twice, or solicit. You know what I'm talking about.
他不会犹豫,退缩,绕回来,再次询问,或者请求。你们明白我的意思。
Wooderson has better things to do, like liking those high school girls, man, 'cause I get older and they stay the same age.
伍德森有更重要的事情要做,例如追求那些高中女孩儿,嘿,因为我在变老,而她们却永葆青春。
