And the thing about a successful life is that a lot of the time, our ideas of what it would mean to live successfully are not our own. They're sucked in from other people; chiefly, if you're a man, your father, and if you're a woman, your mother. Psychoanalysis has been drumming home this message for about 80 years. No one's quite listening hard enough, but I very much believe it's true.

The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence.

没有人喜欢孤独，只是不想勉强交朋友，要真那么做的话，恐怕只会失望而已。

我不是方法派演员。我不会沉浸在一个角色中以至于无法自拔。

【译文】不担心别人不了解自己，就怕自己没有能力。
