I have a lot of irrational¹ fears, and I have never once gotten over any of them. Crickets: frightening. I hate them so much. And I just don't go outside at night.

我有很多不合理的恐惧，我从来没有克服过这些恐惧。蟋蟀令我感到害怕。我非常讨厌蟋蟀。我晚上不会去外面。

I think the thing that scares me is when something is so awkward that it hurts. I know you know the feeling. It happens. I mean, you can't just stay in the moment. It's life. I mean, awkward things happen. They're like obstacles for you to get into your higher potential.

我认为，当难处理的事情发生时，会让我感到害怕，而且这也令人受伤。我想你知道那种感觉。这种事经常发生。我的意思是，你不能只是停留在原地。这就是生活。经常会有难以解决的事情发生。这些障碍是为了激发出你更高的潜能。

I'm scared by violent behavior. And I'm not sure that that's something you get over. There's so much craziness going on now, I think that you just have to be aware of crazy people and stay the heck away from them.

我很害怕暴力行为。我不确定那是不是可以克服的事情。现在有太多疯狂的事情在发生，我认为你必须要留意那些疯狂的人，远离他们。

Puppets, clowns, carnies. The best way to get over the fear is I avoid those things at all costs. So I don't take my kids to the circus. We avoided puppet shows like the plague. In fact, they had a really boring childhood because they see the evil and the twisted in everything.

木偶、小丑巡回游艺团。克服恐惧的最好方法就是，我不惜任何代价避免接触这些东西。所以，我不会带孩子去看马戏团表演。我们就像躲瘟疫一样躲避木偶。事实上，他们的童年非常无聊，因为他们看到了一切邪恶和畸形的东西。
