A movie star

Ben Affleck
★Well, I agree with you. I think that all the more memories that you have in your life, including the bad ones, as you say, serve a purpose in terms of helping you grow and become more interesting and learn from your mistakes. Although I think if I had to prioritize my memories in order of most importance, they would probably be the memories of the people that have meant the most to me. I think one of the riches aspects of life is the other people with whom we come in contact and with whom we share our lives and experiences that are really meaningful and important to us. So I would have to say that those would be the memories that I would most dearly want to protect.
確かに どんな記憶もすごく大切なものだと思う。人として成長するためには嫌な記憶にも意味がある。過ちから学び深い人間になれる。自分の記憶に優劣をつけるのは難しいが、今までに出会った人たちとの思い出が僕には１番大切だ。人生で最も大切なのは様々な人と出会い触れ合うこと。お互いを想い合い貴重な経験を共有することだ。そういう思い出や記憶は絶対に忘れたくないね。

★Well, one of the interesting things is you never really know what's going to be the thing that changes your life. Often times, we look at these giant pivotal moments as the ones that set us on particular courses when in fact, and one of the things this movie talks about that I really believe, is that the fabric of our life is really made up of many, little tiny moments which, when woven together, create this larger mosaic that really is the essence of our life, and it's hard to pin it down to one or two moments.
何が人生を変えるかなんて誰にも予測できない。多くの場合 僕たちは、人生は重要な出来事に左右されると思っている。だが この映画でも描いているように人生は小さな瞬間の積み重ねなんだ。小さな瞬間が形作るモザイクだ。全てがとても大切だから１つに限定するのは難しい。

★I think the idea that you can control or completely shape your life is an illusion, largely. I mean our lives are, I think, a kind of result of our drives and where we want to go, and the things that happen to us. And as a result, there ends up being a kind of compromise between the two. You know, it's difficult to try to do many, many things. And some people succeed who are... excuse me... some people succeed who are very talented; some people succeed because they're lucky and it's then hard to stay there. And life is generally tricky in that regard. I think we flatter ourselves if we believe that all the good that has happened in our lives is a direct result of ourselves and not also good fortune. Conversely, all the bad things that happen to us are not completely our fault either.
“人生は自力で切り開くもの”という考え方は幻想だと思う。つまり僕が思うに人生というのは自分の欲求と周囲の状況との組み合わせだ。この２つの間に人生が存在している。１度の人生で多くを達成するのは難しく達成する人もいるが… 、様々な目標を達成できるのは運や才能に恵まれた人たちだけ。しかも同じ状態を保ち続けるのは難しい。だから思い上がってはいけない。全ての成功が努力の結果だとは言えないからね。その逆もまた真実で、全ての失敗が自分のせいとも言えない。

★It's hard to say but I think in general, I believe in respecting other people and respecting oneself and trying to make the best choices that you can, and to experience all the joy and love that life has to offer because it goes by, you know, it goes by.
上手くは言えないが基本的には他人と自分を尊敬したいと思っている。なるべく最良の選択をしていきたいしできるだけ多くの喜びや愛情を感じて生きていたい。人生は過ぎ去るものだからね。

Julie Andrews
★I think I have many mottos but young people ask me what advice I have for them, I say that I think good luck will quite often pass under your nose when you least expect it. But you had better be ready for the good chance, in other words do your home work.

Antonio Banderas
★My philosophy is just to ...it may be simple. It may be just to dues to love. To love for the people that is with me, my wife, my kids basically. And to love my profession. Then you can not be wrong. You can be more brilliant less brilliant, but if you're doing it for love, you' not wrong. You’re not wrong. Because then you can share that and people recognize that. Soon or later they do.
僕の哲学はとてもシンプルかもしれない。“愛の為に”だね。妻や子供など愛する人のため、仕事への愛の為。出来の善し悪しの為よりも、愛する人の為に、そして仕事を愛しているからこそ頑張る。愛の為にやっているのであれば、間違えはないさ。人と分かちあえるのだから。そういう情熱に、遅かれ早かれ人々は必ず気づくと思う。

Michael Bay
★Always work hard and uh.. to have passion.
一生懸命取り組み、情熱を持つ。

Monica Bellucci
★What do I think is...? What I think is important is to enjoy life and live day by day.
そうね、私が思うに一番大切なのは人生を楽しむ事よ。毎日を大事にするの。

Halle Berry
★If you're going through Hell, keep on going. That's what I live by. Just keep on going.
地獄を見ても突き進む。私の信条よ。前進あるのみ。

★When I'm facing that crisis, especially in a work situation, I have learned to not really get too invested in trying to change the minds of people who feel differently. Because I find that you just spend a lot of time wasting time, you know, and that I can only be responsible for me and how I think and how I see things. And so I opt to change my focus and try to focus on people who are a bit more free-thinking and who can really see people more in the way I see people, and not really waste my time with trying to change things that are really... that are, you know, too enormous for one little person to change.
仕事相手に不当に扱われても、違う思想の持ち主の考え方をあえて変えようとは思わない。そんなことをしても時間のムダよ。自分の考えにしか責任は持てないしね。だから自由な考えの人と付き合うようにするの、私と同じ視点で物事を見られる人とね。１人が頑張っても変えられる問題じゃないのよ。

★Well, I think everybody's journey to overcoming, you know, their life's difficulties is different. Every circumstance, you know... everyone's circumstances are different. I think that it starts with a belief in yourself because so many people will tell you that you can't do something or that... they'll say "no" or they'll say it's not possible. And I think it's about having a real sense of yourself, knowing what you want, being relentless and standing up for what you believe in; I think are key things to helping anybody get through whatever crisis their facing or whatever roadblocks they're facing.
抱えている悩みが違うから解決法も一概には言えない。誰もが違う状況に置かれているもの。でも他人の言葉に惑わされず自分を信じることが大切よ。例えほかの人に否定されても自分を直視して決して諦めずに信じた道を突き進むべきだと思う。そうすれば目の前の大きな壁を乗り越えていけると思うわ。

★It's really hard to say what have been the most important words. I've had some wonderful mentors in my life; some wonderful friends. Um... my mother has been a really strong influence. Um... I think the general message of what people have always told me is that, um, the only thing that would hold me back from achieving my dreams or reaching my goals would be myself. You know, that I can do whatever I want to do and don't live my life with the limits that society places on me for being, you know, a black woman or a woman of color.
多くの師に出会ったから1つに決められない。友人たちや母親の影響も強かったわ。でもいつでも言われてきたことは、夢の達成の障害となるのは自分自身だということだった。不可能なことなど何もないし社会の制約に負けてはダメ。肌の色は関係ないのよ。

★I say that so much because I hear "no, you can't" and I say, "yes, I can." "No, you can't." "Yes, I can."
「君にはムリ」と言われ「できます」と言う。

Beyonce Knowles
★There are a lot of them. There are a lot of them. I think the main thing is staying humble. And bono, actually a couple days ago, just told me, um, the Devil wants the extraordinary to look like the ordinary. And that's so true, because you travel the world and you do all these things. Sometimes you get so tired, you start to resent the extraordinary and it becomes ordinary, average and whatever to you. I just always want to be able to appreciate the beautiful things in life.
たくさんあるわ。その中で一番大切にしているのは、謙虚でいる事よ。数日前にボーノがいい事を言っていたわ。「悪魔は異常な物が普通に見えるように望む」これは真実だと思う。世界を旅していろんな経験をし、時々 すごく疲れて異常な世界に飽き飽きする。私は ただ美しい物に感動して生きたいの。

Jack Black
★My philosophy is uh... the most important thing is to know what you want to do. And that sounds very simple but it's very difficult to figure out exactly what you want. And you can't just say, "I wanna be a movie star" that's too general. You have to be very specific. That's the most important thing.
僕の哲学は…大切なのは、「自分が何をやりたいのかを知ること。」これは簡単に聞こえるけど、実は自分がやりたいことを明確に知るということは難しいことなんだ。「映画スターになりたい」などとそんな抽象的な願望じゃダメなんだ。もっと具体的に考えないと。そこが大事なんだ。

Orlando Bloom
Balian's motto is “What man is a man, who does not make the world better” I think that's a fantastic motto. And ultimately I think it's about respecting human life, all life. You know, just trying to be good to people around you, because if they' re happy then your happiness will be increased too and ultimately it's just being...yeah...being conscious of those other people and people around you.
バリアンの言葉で“真の男は世に尽くすものだ”というのがある。素晴らしいモットーだと思う。あとはやはり、人や全ての命を尊ぶべきだと思う。周りの人によくすること。周りの人が幸せならば、自分の幸せも大きくなるから。周りの人に善くすること、それが大切だと思う。

Adrien Brody
★I try to...try to uh...be honest with myself and continue to uh...listen to, listen to my...be honest and listen to the truth. I think we know...we know when we are not being honest, we know when we are making excuses, we know all these things. So it's important to know your motivation in life and what it is that you're doing and I try to um...bring more goodness in the world, not bring pain unnecessary and not contribute to the negativity that exists in this world. It's not always possible but you know that's what I always try for.
自分に正直であるように努めている。心の声に耳を傾け正直に生きたい。自分に正直でない時、言い訳をしている時は自分でも分かる。自分にとっての人生のモチベーションは何か分かるはず。また、世に善い行いを出来ればいいなと努めている。世のネガティブな面に貢献するのではなく。いつも出来るわけではないけど、でも努力はしている。

Sandra Bullock
★Uh... stay open-minded... um... and use breath mints before kissing scenes.
大事なのは、柔軟な思考とキスシーンの前のミントね。

Tim Burton
★I just try to keep open and always try to maintain …make sure that life stays interesting. As you get older, you loose a sense of seeing things in a new way. And so, it's always good to try to see things from a new perspective.
いつもオープンでいることを心がけている。人生を楽しむ心を忘れない。年をとると、新しい見方をするセンスが鈍ってきたりもするから、常にそういった新しい見方を出来るよう心がけているんだ。

Nicolas Cage
★My philosophy is to do unto others as I would have done to myself. So treat people with respect and kindness.
「自分のして欲しい事を他人にもしろ」。敬意を持って人には親切に接する

Russell Crowe
★Yeah, breathe in more than you breathe out.
吐くより多く吸うことだ。

Tom Cruise
★I think it's important... you know, you never know... you know, I work very hard and I also... I think it's important that you treat people well. And I think it's my, you know, my commitment to quality, and to telling a story, and I think, you know... I think that's why. And I think it's... you know, I'm the type of person I care about the people that work with me and I'm very generous with them, and in turn, they're very good to me... people are good to me. It's a love for what I do. That's why I'm here right now.
大切なのは いつも頑張って努力し続けていく事だろうね。そして周囲の人達を大事にする事も大切だと思っている。あとは僕の取り組む姿勢なんだろう。僕は作品の質にもこだわるし物語の語り方も工夫している、そういった努力をしているよ。それに加えて自分で思うに僕は仕事仲間を大切にする人間なんだ。みんなに対して寛大であれば彼らも僕に優しくしてくれる、この仕事に愛を感じているから今ここにいるんだと思うよ。

★A motto? You know, one of the things it's random acts of kindness. That's how I feel. Also, there is the joy of creating.
僕のモットー？１つは 親切な行いを積み重ねる事だろう。そして"作品作りを楽しむ"ということかな。

Matt Damon
★Well it sounds corny maybe but I would say it's probably the Golden Rule - which is "Do unto others as you would have others unto you" I think if everybody could do that the world would be a better place. Sorry to be so, I sound like I'm running for Miss America pageant.
古臭い表現だけど、たぶん黄金葎つまり「自分にして欲しいことを他人にもせよ」というのがいいね。皆がそれをすれば世界はもっと良くなっているはずだ。ミス・アメリカのコンテストの出場者みたいに聞こえるかな？

Geena Davis
★Um, tremendous luck. Because I know so many people who are talented and they don't...you know, it's just... did you go to the right audition? Did you have the right friend? It's so hard. It's just impossible. I think nobody should try to do it unless there's nothing else they can picture doing because it's very hard.
すごくツイてることね。才能に恵まれながら埋もれている人はたくさんいるわ。私はオーディションにも友人にも恵まれていたけど覚悟なしにやっていけるほど楽な世界ではないわ、とても大変な世界よ。

Benicio Del Toro
★I think that may be…It's not easy to do but try not to lie to yourself.
たやすいことではないけど、自分に嘘をつかないようにすること。

Vin Diesel
★My motto, my philosophy to live by? I've got a lot of them. But the one that I can attest to is if you have a dream, you can make it happen if you will it to happen. The message, if you will, that I wish to share with people is that no matter where you're from, because I was from not - no money, I was from New York City where there were millions and millions of people and everyone was struggling to make it. And you can make your dream come true if you work at it, and strategize and you plan and you commit yourself. I guess overall, I guess to sum it up is if you're going to dream it, dream it; if you're going to do it, do it.
僕の人生におけるモットーか、すごくたくさんあるよ。現実味があるものを１つ挙げるとすると夢は強い意志があれば実現するということだ、この場を借りて僕の気持ちをみんなに言わせてもらう。人間は育ちなんて関係ないんだ。僕は貧しい家庭で育った、しかもＮＹという何百万人もの人が金持ちを夢見ている街でね。その夢を叶えるためには努力しないとダメだ、そして計画を立てて着実に実行していくんだ。つまり僕がみんなに言いたかったのは、夢を見るのも実行するのも自分次第ということなんだ。

Kirsten Dunst
★My philosophy to live by? Um...I don't know if I have... I mean, try to be honest with myself and listen to myself. Because, a lot of times in this industry you loose your barometer kind of what's right or what feels right to you and you got instinct kind of goes away sometimes because people are telling you to do something. But just to ...yeah...just try to listen to myself and pay attention to everything around me.
自分に正直であり、自分の心に耳を傾けること。この業界にいると何が正しく、また自分はどうしたいのかが分からなくなることがあるの。周りの人にいつも指示されているからね。だから自分はどうしたいのかを考え、周りの事にも注意を払うこと。

Colin Farrell
What is my motto? Uh... carpe diem. I enjoy life. Enjoy life. I don't know if we get a second or a third chance so I figure this is the only shot I get so I'm going to have a good time.
僕のモットーは…「今を生きる」人生を楽しむこと１度きりの人生なんだから思いっきり楽しみたい。

Laurence Fishburne
★My philosophy? Well, I can sum it up by saying a poem for you. There's a famous Black American poet called Langston Hughes who wrote a poem called "Motto." In the poem, he says: "I play it cool. I dig all jive, and that's the reason I'm still alive. My motto as I live and learn is dig and be dug in return." And that's pretty much my philosophy and my mode for living.
私の哲学？　説明するのにちょうどいい詩がある。ラングストンという有名な黒人の詩人の「モットー」という詩にこういうのがある。“何事にも愛を。それがうまく生きるコツ。”私のモットーは「愛し愛され」だ。これが私の哲学だし生きる姿勢なんだ。

Jodie Foster
★You know my expression I liked was "More milk, less moo." You know like a cow, you want more milk and less moo. So, you know, more productivity and little less complaining. That's pretty much my motto.
私が好きなフレーズは“もっとミルクを。モォーは控えめに”牛にはミルクをたくさん出しもらいたいけど、鳴き声は少な目でいい。たくさん作りだして、文句は控えめにしよう。それが私のモットー。

Morgan Freeman
★Do on to others as you will have them do on to you.
自分がしてほしいように、他の人にも接すること。
