AL: I don,t think anybody,s saying that I have to win an Oscar or have to shoot for it. But I just came back from the Cannes Film Festival, and they certainly talk about it. So, that,s a kind of pressure, but only my personal feelings. If I can put that aside, I don,t think anybody really gets upset. [Chuckles]. It,s not like the sort of pressure the Lakers feel playing for the City of Los Angeles. With a movie, people sometimes speculate about whether an actor or actress who did a good job might get nominated. It,s a plus for the project, but you don,t always aim for the awards.

拍片不能老以奧斯卡為目標
李安：我不認為有任何人說我必須再贏一座奧斯卡，或者還要為奧斯卡而拍片。不過，我剛從坎城影展回來，大家當然有講到這個。因此，某種壓力是有一點的，但只是我個人感受而已。如果我可以把它放到一邊，我想不會有人覺得不高興。（笑）這跟湖人隊代表洛杉磯打球所承受的壓力不一樣。對電影來說，大家有時候會揣測某某男星或女星表現好不好，會不會獲得提名；這對影片本身來說是有益的，不過不能老是以奧斯卡為目標。
KW: You directed the late Heath Ledger to his first Academy Award-nominated performance in Brokeback Mountain. How did you feel when he died and what did you think of his Oscar-winning outing as The Joker in The Dark Knight?
威廉斯：已故影星希斯萊傑在您執導《斷背山》裡的表現，讓他獲得第一次奧斯卡提名。您對他的過世有何感受？對於他贏得奧斯卡男配角的《黑暗騎士》小丑角色演出又有何看法？
AL: that,s a hard question for me to answer. I was eager to see the movie, but I delayed, because I wanted to avoid it, too. Finally, about two or three weeks after it was released, I went to see it. It was quite disturbing, especially with him playing that character. I didn,t have a good time. It disturbed me to watch him. It was just very difficult, personally.
李安：這個問題對我來說不容易答覆。我滿急迫想去看這部電影，但卻遲遲沒看，因為我同時也想逃避。最後，當電影上映約兩、三週之後，我終於去看了。我的感受頗為不安，特別是看到他飾演這個角色。我並不好受，觀看他的演出讓我覺得不安。對我個人來說，是非常痛苦的。
KW: You were at NYU at the same time as Spike Lee. Is there any truth to the rumor that you were the cinematographer on his student film, Joe,s Bed-Stuy Barbershop?
威廉斯：您與史派克李就讀紐約大學的時間一樣。外傳您曾擔任他學生電影 Joe,s Bed-Stuy Barbershop 的攝影，請問傳聞是否屬實？
AL: He was a year ahead of me. I was a camera assistant, but not the only one.
李安：他比我高一屆。我擔任的職務是攝影助理，但攝影助理不只我一個。
KW: Is there any question no one ever asks you, that you wish someone would?
威廉斯：有沒有什麼問題是從來沒有人提問過，但你希望被問到的？
AL: No, not off the top of my head. I really wish they asked fewer questions. [Laughs]
