【John Cusack】一篇关于库叔的采访报道，可以了解库叔的往事

I liked the book and thought it would make a good film because it seemed to me it captured something that no one had done in movies, which is to show how people experience music autobiographically. How, over the years, songs become markers of experience." As he says, how we use music to interpret a situation, a particular song, a particular mood. Change the song and you change the mood. Put the song on and you put on the mood. Then take it off.
对于High Fidelity 库叔说：“我喜欢这本小说，觉得应该可以改编成不错的电影，因为里面有些东西以前的电影没有表现过，那就是以音乐自传的方式来呈现电影。那些音乐呈现和表现得的过程，经年来已成为那些演职人员的一段美好经历吧。”音乐有自己特定的情绪和情境，一首歌就是一种心情。歌曲换了，心情也变了。跟随情绪，跟随音乐，然后好好享受。

His dad, he says, was hysterically funny. "Still is. Very silly." Very silly and very committed - to his marriage, which has lasted 40 years, and to his faith, which, though I can't pretend to know what form this takes, can be inferred from his long-standing friendship with Daniel and Philip Berrigan: Philip, a former Jesuit priest, Daniel, a practising Jesuit who now works in an Aids hostel in New York. Both the brothers are devout pacifists, with long histories of peace protests, and have been imprisoned many times. In 1968, when John Cusack would have been two, they caused a national furore, inspiring nationwide demonstrations, when they broke into army offices and burned draft papers in protest against the Vietnam war.
对于John的爸爸，他是这样形容的：很幽默也本分，对自己的持续了40多年的婚姻忠贞不渝，这种品质，尽管我不能假装说自己学不来（因为库叔还没结婚），但是对于他和Daniel和Philip Berrigan之间的深后友谊我还是深有感触。Daniel是位前任牧师，Philip Berrigan是位在纽约Aids hostel的工作执业会成员。这两兄弟都是虔诚的和平主义者，曾因多次参加呼吁和平的游行而被多次拘禁。在1968年，那是John才两岁，这两人做了件足以惊动这个美国的事从而激发的全国范围的反战情绪：为了抗议越南战争，他们冲进军部烧掉了与越南战争有关的文件。

When he was small, and short, he wanted to be an athlete, "a boxer" - not as unlike acting as it may appear, similar dedication to discipline, though a more fanatical subordination of the self. And a sense of brotherhood. He enjoys this。
John还是个小矮子时一直想当运动员，“拳击运动员。”这样可能就不会有粉丝追捧了，尽管会有更强烈的自我归属感，还有兄弟情谊，不过他很享受这种感觉。
By the age of 10, he'd given up wanting to be an athlete, "and decided to do what I was best at, acting". Pragmatic, too. He was always like this. "At school, I'd get into trouble, but I was smart about the trouble I got into. I liked to stir things up, but I always kept an escape hatch." His dad put him in a couple of commercials.
10岁，他放弃了当运动员的想法，“我决定将一心一意做表演。”说到做到，他是典型的实际派和行动派。“在学校里我经常捣乱，不过每次我都能聪明的摆脱麻烦，我喜欢惹是生非，但是我总能轻易脱身。”后来他爸爸让他参演了些电视广告。

So. Cusack is 34 and he is not married. "Not married, no." He has girlfriends? "Sure." Not gay? "Never been gay." The turn the conversation is taking is in response to him saying Gladiator is a film about repressed homosexuality. And me saying, "Who cares? Russell Crowe is gorgeous. Who cares if it's gay or not gay, so long as it's about sex." I think it's fair to say that on sex we diverge. If I were a man, I tell him, I'd definitely be gay. "No you wouldn't." Why not? "Because women are great." But gays have better sex lives, more decadent sex lives. "You can be decadent and straight. You just pay a higher price. If you are decadent and straight you are thought of as some kind of a pig."
库萨克现年34岁，未婚。“没结婚，没有。”他有女朋友吗？“当然。”“是GAY吗？”“从来不是。”然后我把话题转向了与同性恋题材有关的电影《角斗士》，“谁会在乎呢? Russell Crowe 是如此明艳动人，如果是关于性的话谁还会在乎是否是GAY。”我觉得在性这个话题上我们有分歧是可以理解的。如果我是个男人，我愿意为他成为GAY。“你不会的。”“怎么说？”“因为女性很伟大很美好。”但是GAY可能会有更丰富更颓乱的性生活。“你可以做个颓废的直男，为此你可能会为繁重的生活付出更多（这里实在没看懂）。如果你是直男又很颓废的话，那你只会成为别人的笑柄。”

It is probably true that John Cusack is more interesting than any of the parts he has yet played.
John本人可能比他演过的任何角色都要有意思。
