if somebody had come to me in 1998 and said, we want you to make a one-person show, I would say, well, that’s gonna take about a year, and at some point within the next six to nine months, I will fall apart, and I will be out of communication.

如果 1998 年有人來找我說，我們想讓你做一場單人秀，我會說：那大概要一年，而在接下來六到九個月裡的某個時刻，我會垮掉，然後失聯。

My psychiatrist said that a lot of people have called it faux dementia, where depressives are having a hard time making memories and keeping memories and also accessing words.

我的精神科醫生說，很多人把它叫做假性痴呆——抑鬱的人很難形成記憶、保存記憶，也很難調取詞彙。

It’s the lowest you can get, really, in my lifespan, which is to be in pajamas at 6 PM and with socks with treads on the bottom. And yet part of my relentless ego is like, oh, look at me getting recognized.

那真的是我這輩子能到的最低點：下午六點穿著睡衣，襪子底下還帶防滑膠。可我不肯消停的那部分自我還在想，哦，看，我被認出來了。

any project, it’s a pretty good sign if at some point you feel over your head. Because it means you’re—you’re stretching your comfort zone

任何項目，如果你在某個時刻覺得自己力不從心，那是個相當好的信號。因為這意味著你在把舒適區往外撐。

I thought I would be happy because I was a comedian and I was successful, but it wasn’t like that. And I thought, oh, it—I just haven’t gotten successful enough. And then you hear Bruce Springsteen and Michael Phelps, for instance, and you realize, oh, it has nothing to do with achievement. This is chemical.

我以為我會快樂，因為我是喜劇演員，我成功了，但並不是那樣。我就想，哦，那只是我還不夠成功。然後你聽到 Bruce Springsteen、Michael Phelps 這些人，你意識到：哦，這跟成就毫無關係。這是化學的。

Gary Gulman34:15

I had to come to terms with the fact that I would never dunk again and that I would be shown up by much younger people frequently. So—but that’s also a great lesson, which is to curb your ego.

我必須接受一個事實：我再也不會扣籃了，而且會經常被比我年輕得多的人打爆。但這也是一堂很好的課：收斂你的自我。
