安德里亞·馬丁(Andrea Martin)、艾米·波勒(AmyPoehler)、馬丁·肖特(Martin Short)和尼爾·帕特里克·哈里斯( Neil Patrick Harris)在即將出版的回憶錄中展現自己的靈魂(和其他事情)。
“Lady Parts” by Andrea Martin
《女性私處》(Lady Parts) ，安德里亞·馬丁/著
On parenting: “I enrolled them in a small private school that Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffmansent their kids to … There wasn’t a dry eye in the playground as Ms. Streep handed over herlunches to her kids and, with the brave determination of her Oscar-winning performance asSophie, made the choice to get in her Volvo station wagon and drive away.” (HarperCollins)
關於爲人父母：“我把他們送到梅麗爾·斯特里普(Meryl Streep)和達斯汀·霍夫曼(Dustin Hoffman)的孩子們上的小型私立學校……斯特里普把午飯交給她的孩子們時，操場上的小孩都在哭。她拿出扮演蘇菲(Sophie，她曾憑此角色獲得奧斯卡獎)時的勇氣和決心，鑽進沃爾沃旅行轎車，揚長而去。”(哈珀柯林斯出版社[HarperCollins]出版)
“Yes Please” by Amy Poehler
《是的，請》(Yes Please)，艾米·波勒/著
On beauty: “If you are lucky, there is a moment in your life when you have some say as to whatyour currency is going to be. I decided early on it was not going to be my looks. I have spent alifetime coming to terms with this idea and I would say I am about 15 to 20 percent there … Believe me, blond hair can take you really far, especially with the older men. It can reallydistract from the face.” (Dey Street Books)
關於美貌：“如果你夠幸運，生命中的某個時刻，你可以決定將來靠什麼爲生。我很早就決定，不靠外貌爲生。我一直在跟這個想法妥協，我得說我差不多有15%至20%靠的不是外貌……相信我，金髮真的很有幫助，特別是對老男人很有吸引力。它真的能把注意力從臉上轉移走。”(戴伊街圖書出版社[Dey Street Books]出版)
“I Must Say: My Life as a Humble Comedy Legend” by Martin Short
《我必須得說：我的人生就像一部卑微的喜劇傳奇片》(I Must Say: My Life as a Humble ComedyLegend)，馬丁·肖特/著
On performance: “The number-one rule in show business is: Never follow a singer with asinger. The number-two rule in show business, incidentally, is: Never look Barbra Streisand inthe eye when she is walking onstage, or during foreplay.” (HarperCollins)
關於表演：“演藝界的第一原則是：永遠別和一位歌手一起模仿另一位歌手。順便說一下演藝界的第二原則：在芭芭拉·史翠珊(Barbra Streisand)上臺時或和她前戲時，千萬別看她的眼睛。”(哈珀柯林斯出版社)
“Choose Your Own Autobiography” by Neil Patrick Harris
《選擇你自己的自傳》(Choose Your Own Autobiography)，尼爾·帕特里克·哈里斯/著
On modesty: “Directly showing family and neighbors and co-workers that you’re proud of theway you live accomplishes something on a core level that intense advocacy sometimes can’t. So for the most part your style is to lead by example, to show ordinary people — Oprah, say — around your home, to … see what kind of family the four of you really are. And let Oprah take itfrom there.” (Crown Archetype)
關於謙遜：“直接向家人、鄰居和同事表明你爲自己的生活方式感到驕傲，這能達到某些效果，比爲之強烈辯護的效果還好。到目前爲止，你的方式大多是以身作則，向你家周圍的普通人展現你們家四個人的真實面貌(比如上奧普拉的節目)。然後讓奧普拉負責剩下的事。”
