हिप्पियों के लाइट शो और मल्टीमीडिया शो में मुझे बहुत मज़ा आता था। यह 1960 के दशक के छात्र जीवन की बात है, जब मैं न्यूयॉर्क में थी। तब मैंने लिखना सीखा, दूसरे लोगों की आवाज़ें रिकॉर्ड करना सीखा और परफ़ॉर्मेंस आर्ट सीखी—क्योंकि वह एक नया क्षेत्र था, और मुझे वह सब कुछ पसंद था जो नया और उत्तेजक था। किसी एक चीज़ में बंध जाने से ज़्यादा इन बातों में मेरी दिलचस्पी थी।
I found so much fun in the light shows and the multimedia shows of the hippies. That was when I was a student in the 1960s, and I was in New York, so I learned how to deal with writing, recording sound of other people, performance art - because that was a new territory, and I liked everything that was new and provocative. That interested me more than becoming anything specific.

मैं कभी मुख्य रूप से संगीतकार नहीं बनी! मैं हमेशा से एक घुमक्कड़ रही हूँ और बहुत जल्दी बोर हो जाती हूँ।
I never became primarily a musician! I've always been a wanderer and I'm always bored.

ऐसा नहीं है कि अब मुझे संगीत से कोई चिढ़ है, लेकिन मुझे किसी एक चीज़ से बंध जाना पसंद नहीं था। पता नहीं क्यों।
Not that I have anything against music now, but I just hated being an anything. I don't know why.

मुझे फिल्मों में बजाया जाने वाला पियानो संगीत पसंद नहीं है, जैसे माइकल निमैन का संगीत। कभी-कभी तो ऐसा पियानो संगीत सुनकर मुझे उल्टी जैसी आने लगती है। वह असल में रोमांटिक नहीं होता। वह तो बस आपकी भावनाओं को उकसाने की एक तकनीक भर है, जैसे पाशविक प्रयोग में होता है।
I don't like the piano player music of the movies, the Michael Nyman, and sometimes that piano music makes me puke. It's not really romantic. It's just trying to get your Pavlovian juices flowing because it's a technique now.

लगभग 1977 में, मैं बहुत... नकारात्मक हो गई थी। मैंने अनजाने में ऐसी हरकतें करनी शुरू कर दी थीं जिन्हें मैं खुद समझ नहीं पाती थी। वे खुद को नुकसान पहुँचाने वाली थीं और मुझे पता नहीं था कि मैं क्या कर रही हूँ। मैं हर किसी से पंगा ले रही थी, अपने सारे रिश्ते बिगाड़ रही थी। मैं लोगों के प्रति आक्रामक हो गई थी, शो के दौरान लोगों का अपमान करती थी—मैं अपने दस साल पहले बनाए गए वजूद को मिटाने के लिए हर मुमकिन कोशिश कर रही थी, बिना यह जाने कि आखिर मैं ऐसा क्यों कर रही हूँ।
around 1977 I became very ... negative, I began to do things unconsciously that I didn't understand, and they were very sabotagistic and I didn't know what I was doing. I was pissing everybody off, I was breaking my bridges. I was hostile to people, I was doing performances and insulting people there - I was doing whatever I could to destroy whatever world I had created ten years before, without knowing, really, why

पश्चिमी संगीत में लोगों ने कभी ऐसे घंटियों की आवाज़ नहीं सुनी होगी जो सचमुच किसी प्रलय जैसी लगती हों। ऐसी आवाज़ें आपको रूसी संगीत या एशियाई और इंडोनेशियाई परंपराओं में ज़्यादा सुनने को मिलेंगी।
People never heard bells in Western music sounding really cataclysmic. You hear that more in Russian music or in Asian, Indonesian traditions.

मैं कभी कोई पेशेवर करियर नहीं बनाना चाहती थी, और ऐसा न करने में मैं कामयाब रही भी हूँ। और अगर मैंने कभी कोई काम किया भी, तो उससे कभी पैसे नहीं मिले, या वह कभी बहुत लंबे समय तक नहीं चला।
I never wanted to have a profession, and I've succeeded in not having one, or if I did have one it never paid, or it's never been especially long-term.

मैं अपने किसी भी काम में—यहाँ तक कि अपनी पशु-संबंधी कल्पनाओं या भावनाओं के मामले में भी—एक रूसी यहूदी रोमांटिक होने से डरती नहीं हूँ।
I'm not afraid to be a Russian Jewish romantic in my approach to anything, even in my animal divinities, or anything about the feeling.

यहूदी लोगों के लिए, सामन मछली का एक खास महत्व है, सिर्फ इसलिए नहीं कि यह एक ऐसा स्वाद है जो हमारी प्रवासी यात्रा के दौरान हमेशा हमारे साथ रहा है। सामन मछलियों में अपनी जड़ों की ओर लौटने की एक अनोखी चाहत होती है। अपने जीवन के अंत में, सामन मछलियाँ तैरकर उसी जगह वापस जाने की कोशिश करती हैं जहाँ उनका जन्म हुआ था। भले ही वे सफल न हो पाएं, पर उनके मन में यह जुनून होता है। प्रवासी होने के नाते हम यहूदी लोगों को सामन की यह बात बहुत पसंद है।
For Jewish people, salmon has a special meaning, not just because it's a flavor we've had all along our diaspora. Salmon also have this special return-to-their-roots desire. At the end of their lives, salmon try to swim back to when they were born. Even if they can't, they have this obsession. We as diaspora people love that a lot about salmon.

मैं हर दिन 20,000 लोगों के सामने अपने संगीत का प्रदर्शन करती थी क्योंकि 5वीं एवेन्यू पर लोग अपने काम पर आने-जाने के लिए चल रहे होते थे, और मेरी आवाज़ें उन्हें हर तरह के बेसुरीपन, सुरीलेपन, गूंज और ऐसी ही तमाम ध्वनियों से नहला रही होती थीं।
I played to 20,000 people every day because people were walking on 5th Ave going to and from their jobs, and my sounds were bathing them in all kinds of dissonance, consonance, resonance, and things like that.

कुछ लोग ऐसे होते हैं जिन्हें किसी एक चीज़ से जुड़े रहना पसंद होता है, लेकिन 1960 के दशक में जब मैं बड़ी हो रही थी, तभी मैंने यह समझ लिया था कि कला की दुनिया में आप बहुत तरह की भूमिकाएँ निभा सकते हैं।
There are some people who love being a something, but I also got the gist in the 60's when I grew up that you could be, in the art scene, very diverse.

मेरी संगीत की शिक्षा मौखिक रूप से हुई थी। मैं लिखित नोटेशन और ऐसी चीज़ों के खिलाफ थी। यहूदी धार्मिक संगीत में कोई लिखित नोटेशन नहीं होती। आप सब कुछ रटकर, सुनकर और बार-बार दोहराकर सीखते हैं।
My music education was oral. I was resistant to scores and things like that. In Jewish religious music, there are no scores. You learn everything by rote, by ear, by repeating.

मैंने वास्तव में ब्रुकलीन में एक गायक के रूप में शुरुआत की थी, और मैं एक समुदाय में रहती थी। अपनी उस समुदाय की तंगहाली से बाहर निकलने के लिए, मैं एक संगीतकार बन गई।
I actually started as a singer in Brooklyn, and I lived in a community. To get out of the ghetto of my community, I was a musician.

मैं पहले से ही एक युवा गायिका रह चुकी थी। एक पेशेवर के रूप में, मैं एक युवा गायिका थी—जिसे इंग्लैंड में सोप्रानो कहा जाता है—लेकिन न्यूयॉर्क शहर भर में यहूदी बार मिड्वा, शादियों और सभाघरों में संगीत गाते समय मैं ऑल्टो हुआ करती थी, क्योंकि इज़राइल के बाद न्यूयॉर्क शायद दुनिया का सबसे बड़ा यहूदी समुदाय है।
I had already been a young singer. And once, as a profession, I was a young singer, what you would call a soprano in England, but I was an alto in singing Jewish music in bar mitzvahs and weddings and synagogues throughout New York City because, after Israel, New York is probably the biggest Jewish community in the world.

मैंने अपने संगीत से कभी कोई पैसा नहीं कमाया। मैं ज़्यादा नहीं कमाती; मैं पाँच से दस अलग-अलग विधाओं के बीच हाथ-पाँव मारकर गुज़ारा करती हूँ।
I never made any money from my music. I don't make that much; I make it flip-flopping between five and ten different disciplines.

मैं हिप्पी जैसे लोगों के साथ रहती थी, और सबसे बड़ी बात यह है कि वे कभी पैसे नहीं कमाते थे। अगर आप कभी पैसे नहीं कमाते, तो आपको कभी किसी पेशे की घोषणा भी नहीं करनी पड़ती!
I hung around hippie-ish kind of people and, first of all, they never made any money. If you never make any money, you never have to declare any profession!

संगीत के इतिहास में कुछ ऐसी धुनें भी हैं जो मुझे रुला देती हैं। मुझे रोने में कोई शर्म नहीं है।
There are pieces that in the history of music that also make me cry. I'm not ashamed to cry.
