Andrea Martin, Amy Poehler, Martin Short and Neil Patrick Harris bare their souls (and other bits) in their upcoming memoirs.
《女性私处》(Lady Parts) ,安德里亚·马丁/著
“Lady Parts” by Andrea Martin
关于为人父母:“我把他们送到梅丽尔·斯特里普(Meryl Streep)和达斯汀·霍夫曼(Dustin Hoffman)的孩子们上的小型私立学校……斯特里普把午饭交给她的孩子们时,操场上的小孩都在哭。她拿出扮演苏菲(Sophie,她曾凭此角色获得奥斯卡奖)时的勇气和决心,钻进沃尔沃旅行轿车,扬长而去。”(哈珀柯林斯出版社[HarperCollins]出版)
On parenting: “I enrolled them in a small private school that Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman sent their kids to … There wasn’t a dry eye in the playground as Ms. Streep handed over her lunches to her kids and, with the brave determination of her Oscar-winning performance as Sophie, made the choice to get in her Volvo station wagon and drive away.” (HarperCollins)
《是的,请》(Yes Please),艾米·波勒/著
“Yes Please” by Amy Poehler
关于美貌:“如果你够幸运,生命中的某个时刻,你可以决定将来靠什么为生。我很早就决定,不靠外貌为生。我一直在跟这个想法妥协,我得说我差不多有15%至20%靠的不是外貌……相信我,金发真的很有帮助,特别是对老男人很有吸引力。它真的能把注意力从脸上转移走。”(戴伊街图书出版社[Dey Street Books]出版)
On beauty: “If you are lucky, there is a moment in your life when you have some say as to what your currency is going to be. I decided early on it was not going to be my looks. I have spent a lifetime coming to terms with this idea and I would say I am about 15 to 20 percent there … Believe me, blond hair can take you really far, especially with the older men. It can really distract from the face.” (Dey Street Books)
《我必须得说:我的人生就像一部卑微的喜剧传奇片》(I Must Say: My Life as a Humble Comedy Legend),马丁·肖特/著
“I Must Say: My Life as a Humble Comedy Legend” by Martin Short
关于表演:“演艺界的第一原则是:永远别和一位歌手一起模仿另一位歌手。顺便说一下演艺界的第二原则:在芭芭拉·史翠珊(Barbra Streisand)上台时或和她前戏时,千万别看她的眼睛。”(哈珀柯林斯出版社)
On performance: “The number-one rule in show business is: Never follow a singer with a singer. The number-two rule in show business, incidentally, is: Never look Barbra Streisand in the eye when she is walking onstage, or during foreplay.” (HarperCollins)
《选择你自己的自传》(Choose Your Own Autobiography),尼尔·帕特里克·哈里斯/著
“Choose Your Own Autobiography” by Neil Patrick Harris
关于谦逊:“直接向家人、邻居和同事表明你为自己的生活方式感到骄傲,这能达到某些效果,比为之强烈辩护的效果还好。到目前为止,你的方式大多是以身作则,向你家周围的普通人展现你们家四个人的真实面貌(比如上奥普拉的节目)。然后让奥普拉负责剩下的事。”(皇冠原型出版社[Crown Archetype]出版)
On modesty: “Directly showing family and neighbors and co-workers that you’re proud of the way you live accomplishes something on a core level that intense advocacy sometimes can’t. So for the most part your style is to lead by example, to show ordinary people — Oprah, say — around your home, to … see what kind of family the four of you really are. And let Oprah take it from there.” (Crown Archetype)
