My Father taught me to weigh my words carefully, and speak up only when I had something insightful to add to the proceedings, or something really funny to say. He also taught me that if I couldn’t be that kind of guy in real life, that I could earn a healthy living pretending to be that guy in the movies. -- Kevin Smith, My Boring Ass Life, 06-01-05
我爸曾这样告诫我:说话前要字斟句酌,要么有深度,要么有幽默。要是在现实生活中做不到,那就去演电影吧。在电影里演这样一个有深度有幽默的人,也能挣不少钱。
