"作为一名演员的挑战在于,如果你成为了名人,你就不再遇到陌生人了。而陌生人,是我们拥有匿名性的地方。我相信对灵魂来说,保持匿名是至关重要的,特别是如果你要成为一名演员的话。"
— Matthew McConaughey
Simplified Meaning:
When someone becomes famous, they don't really meet new people like they used to. Everyone they meet knows who they are, which means they never get the chance to be a regular person around others. This can be hard for actors because, to play different roles well, they need to experience life as ordinary people without being treated differently. Imagine you're an actor, and you go to a coffee shop. If no one knows you, you can observe how people act and speak naturally. This helps you understand different characters better. But if everyone recognizes you, they might behave differently around you. You lose the chance to see real, unfiltered human behavior. Being anonymous, or not being recognized, is good for the soul because it lets you lose yourself in the crowd and feel like anyone else. This is especially true for actors because it helps them connect with the characters they play by experiencing life without the barrier of fame. To apply this to your life, try to appreciate and make the most out of the moments when you can just be yourself and fit in, without standing out.
