60
especially in California, where it's like,
61
you can't get any really good jobs.
62
But like You could work at Licorice Pizza.

Maybe they send you to another store.
67
And maybe you worked there for three years and that's really great.

Next thing you know, you're 28
83
and the only jobs you've ever had are minimum wage jobs behind a counter
84
that were designed for kids to pay for their gas.

He, but I knew he,
90

91
I'm learning something here.
92
Because he goes, you know,
93
Quentin, you think that we're this really great team,
94

Quentin, at 20, I worked at South Bay Cinemas.
100
And I hung out with a bunch of guys just like you.
101
And some girls there too.
102
But it was a bunch of guys just like you.
103
And then I stopped working at South Bay Cinema.
104
Then I worked at Miller's Outpost.
105
I hung out with a bunch of guys just like you.
106
And we did everything, just like we do.
107
We went to movies together,
108
we went out and we dated amongst the girls there, everything.
109
Then I worked at Alicia Pisa for four years with a bunch of guys just like you.
110
I wasted my life hanging out with a bunch of guys just like you.
111
And they all go away at a certain point And I realized this guy's kind of telling the truth.
112
I had this he's showing me a truth about him He's he I'm I'm
113
This is coming from somewhere and then all of a sudden he still hung around us He still liked us,
114
but then he started making it a point to Touch base with some of his high school friends.
115
They were still around so he's not just hanging out with guys Four years younger five years younger than him anyway,
116
I'm turning 25 around this time So I'm having my own little okay,
117
but what have I done with my life so far so far fucking nothing
118
So I'm having my own little anxiety hitting 25,
119
but I've seen what it's like five years from now Yeah,
120
when you turn 30 a window to the future when you're to 30 and you're in this situation and and
121
And there was like one night that I had what I used to call,
122
I would do it every once in a while,
123
I haven't done it in a long time, thankfully.
124
I would have a Quentin Detest Fest,
125
where I would stay up all night long and rather than give myself excuses,
126
I would look at everything that I'm fucking up in my life
127
or everything I'm not doing or whatever and just not give myself any fucking excuses out.
128
Just like nail it.
129
And I would spend like all night laying out everything I'm doing that's wrong
130
and then I would spend the last two hours figuring out how I can change it.
131
And as opposed to just doing it and then going to get some sleep
132
and then you forget about it and fall back into your routine,
133
I decided to change my life.
134
I was like, look, the problem is that I'm living in the South Bay,
135
and even though I drive to Los Angeles,
136
one, I've got to not worry about this job anymore.
137
I've got to just move to Hollywood.
138
I've got to get involved there.
139
I've got to meet other people that are in the business.
140
And if I have to work manpower jobs,
141
you know, where you just work like four days at this place and four days at that place,
142
well, then that's fine.
143
And by the way, I shouldn't be making money until I'm making money doing what I want to do.
144
And that was ever a danger.
145
All right.
146
But then, you know, the next thing I knew,
147
you know, I moved out of the South Bay.
148
And then I couldn't move into Hollywood.
149
I couldn't afford Hollywood, but I got to Fort Koreatown.
150
And I was close enough.
151
And literally, the minute I kind of moved out there,
152
I met a guy who wrote low-budget horror movies.
153
And then through him I met other guys that wrote low-budget horror movies
154
and this guy who directs a few low-budget horror And this guy who produces a couple and well But yeah,
155
you meet one person and
156
that introduces you to three other people now all of a
157
sudden I actually knew people who were actually making movies
158
and the thing about it was it was like also Well if these guys can do what I can do
159
Hmm because they weren't too special right yeah,
160
you know that's the weird realization that you end up having yeah Yeah,
161
and then literally, it wasn't like everything changed,
162
but like within a year and a half,
163
from moving out of the South Bay,
164
moving into the Hollywood area,
165
within a year and a half,
166
I was finally able to make a living as a writer.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
