Практикум по синхронному переводу с русского языка на английский

I've heard that/People say/It seems that you never watch your old
films, and that you don't even have videotapes of them. Why?

— I don't want to look back to something that still tempts/
lures/attracts me/very strongly. Being an actor is an illness like
alcoholism: it sticks around/you don't get better/doesn't end. When
you understand that the chances for success/self-fulfillment here/in
this area are infinitesimal/small, what's the point of torturing
yourself/ agonizing over it? Here/In that/I'm just like my father/I'm my father's daughter/I'm a chip off the old block — My father was an admiral in the American navy, and when he retired, the first thing he did was to burn his uniform. He said, "Why should it gather dust in the closet? I know I'm an admiral, that I did a lot/a great deal/ much/for the country, and I don't need a jacket with epaulets to remember/recall who I am and who I was." Me, too/That's me/I'm that way/I'm just like that, too. Well/in fact, I don't watch my old films. Although... formerly/in the past I'd see myself on the screen and think that all of that was played/terribly/really badly acted all wrong. But now I like myself.
The tone of this newspaper interview is very colloquial, and should be rendered as such.

   на Родину — this should not be translated as "motherland" or
   "homeland," which sound artificial and affected in English. "Came home"
   or "back to Russia" are appropriate renderings.

   вы вернулись из небытия — "non-existence" or "nonbeing" do not
   work here. "You've come back from nowhere" is idiomatic; "You've come
   back from being a nonperson" has a political tinge, as "nonperson" implies
   that someone is defined as such by the regime.
