20 ⁠Kutipan Inspiratif dari Sam Neill Bintang Jurassic Park, Relate?

"You are unique. There is only one you. And that is you there, right here, for better or worse. Except that there is no better, and there is no worse. It's just you." (Kamu itu unik. Cuma ada satu kamu. Dan itulah kamu, di sini, baik atau buruk. Padahal sebenarnya gak ada yang lebih baik atau lebih buruk. Itu cuma kamu.)

"I can never really remember what I look like. I'm just sort of neutral. I don't think I'm sort of, you know, hideous." (Aku sebenarnya gak pernah bener-bener inget gimana rupaku. Aku tuh biasa aja. Menurutku aku gak jelek-jelek amat kok.)

"I don't think I ever felt an outsider when I had a stutter." (Aku rasa aku gak pernah merasa jadi orang luar meski dulu aku gagap.)

"I was - I was very - I wasn't outgoing at all as a child." (Aku dulu - aku sangat - aku sama sekali gak supel waktu kecil.)

"No intelligent man wears a moustache voluntarily - you can write that down." (Gak ada pria cerdas yang mau pakai kumis dengan sukarela - catat itu.)

"If I've made a film that turns out to be good, that's a good result. If I've made a film that's good and made a couple of friends, that's a great result. If I've made a film that's no good, but I made a friend, that's still another great result." (Kalau aku bikin film yang hasilnya bagus, itu hasil yang baik. Kalau filmnya bagus dan aku dapat beberapa teman, itu hasil yang hebat. Kalau filmnya gak bagus, tapi aku dapat teman, itu tetap hasil yang hebat.)

"Every actor wants more offers, but I get enough and I do like to be busy." (Setiap aktor pengin lebih banyak tawaran, tapi aku udah dapat cukup dan aku emang suka sibuk.)

"It makes the day considerably more enjoyable when you're working with people you think are good, and it makes your job easier, too." (Hari jadi jauh lebih menyenangkan kalau kerja bareng orang-orang yang menurutku bagus, dan itu juga bikin pekerjaan lebih gampang.)

"I always want to be as good in the part as I possibly can. But I make no pretensions of being the greatest actor in the world." (Aku selalu pengin sebagus mungkin dalam sebuah peran. Tapi aku gak pernah mengklaim jadi aktor terhebat di dunia.)

"I'm conscious that there's only a limited amount that I'll get done before I get shuffled into retirement, but I certainly have no desire to retire." (Aku sadar cuma ada sedikit yang bisa aku selesaikan sebelum akhirnya digeser ke masa pensiun, tapi aku sama sekali gak pengin pensiun.)

"I've worked all my life to shed myself of any character." (Aku udah bekerja seumur hidup buat melepaskan diri dari karakter apa pun yang pernah aku mainkan.)

"I'm serviceable. I'm durable. I get the job done." (Aku bisa diandalkan. Aku tahan banting. Aku menyelesaikan pekerjaan.)

"If it looks like fun, and it looks like quality, then I'll do it. I don't feel compelled to work - or not to work." (Kalau kelihatannya seru dan berkualitas, aku akan mengerjakannya. Aku gak merasa terpaksa buat kerja - atau gak kerja.)

"People turn into fools when they see a movie star and do weird things." (Orang-orang jadi kayak orang bodoh kalau lihat bintang film dan melakukan hal-hal aneh.)

"I think you need brains to do any Shakespeare with any authority. I could do Shakespeare, but not with any authority." (Menurutku kamu butuh otak buat main Shakespeare dengan otoritas. Aku bisa main Shakespeare, tapi gak dengan otoritas.)

"I hate to say it, but there seems to have been some sort of dumbing down as far as movies go." (Aku benci bilang ini, tapi sepertinya ada semacam penurunan kualitas dalam hal perfilman.)

"I enjoy some physical stuff. But if I had a choice between playing a scene where it's raining, it's terribly cold, I'm wet and I'm being drowned and playing a scene with dinosaur eggs in a laboratory, I'd probably take the latter. It's warmer and generally more comfortable!" (Aku suka adegan fisik. Tapi kalau harus milih antara main adegan hujan, dingin banget, basah kuyup dan hampir tenggelam, sama main adegan telur dinosaurus di laboratorium, aku bakal pilih yang kedua. Lebih hangat dan lebih nyaman!)

"Failure is never quite so frightening as regret." (Kegagalan gak pernah semenakutkan penyesalan.)

"We always have to remind ourselves of how fragile life on this planet is and what responsibilities we have." (Kita harus selalu mengingatkan diri sendiri betapa rapuhnya kehidupan di planet ini dan tanggung jawab apa yang kita punya.)

"It doesn't matter how popular an actor you are: nobody will remember you forever." (Gak peduli seterkenal apa kamu sebagai aktor: gak ada yang bakal mengingatmu selamanya.
