मेरा मानना है कि जब आप अलौकिक शक्तियों की बात करते हैं, तो उन्हें इंसानों से ऊपर और ज़्यादा शक्तिशाली होना चाहिए। आप उन्हें पूरी तरह हरा नहीं सकते। आप शायद किसी तरह बच निकलें, लेकिन यह बहुत कम होता है कि कोई इंसान किसी अलौकिक शक्ति का पूरी तरह विनाश कर सके।
It's my belief that when you're dealing with the supernatural, the supernatural still has to trump we mortals, it still has to be more powerful than we are. You can't really defeat it. You can live to fight another day but it's very rare that a human being can actually destroy a supernatural force.

मुझे ऐसी फिल्में बहुत पसंद हैं जिन्हें देखने के बाद मैं दुनिया को थोड़े अलग नजरिए से देखने लगता हूँ। मुझे ऐसा कुछ चाहिए जो मेरे दुनिया को देखने के नजरिए को और समृद्ध करे।
I love films where I'm looking around the world a little different now that I've seen that. I want something that nourishes my view of the world.

आइए ऐसी बेहतरीन कहानियाँ बनाएँ जिनसे लोगों को कुछ सीखने को मिले। यह वह एकमात्र समान कड़ी है जो मैं अपनी हर कोशिश में शामिल करने की कोशिश करता हूँ।
Let's make really good stories that people get something out of. That's the one common denominator with everything I try to do.

जब मैं बैठता हूँ, तो मुझे टीवी सीरीज़ के 20, 40 या 60 घंटे देखने की बजाय कोई फिल्म देखना कहीं ज्यादा आसान और सुकून भरा लगता है। मुझे लगता है कि एक शानदार फिल्म वाकई अद्भुत होती है। हालांकि, टेलीविजन आपको एक बड़ा फलक (कैनवास) जरूर देता है।
When I sit down, I find that it's much easier for me to want to consume a movie than to dip back into 20 or 40 or 60 hours of a television series. I think a great movie is really amazing. But, television does give you a larger canvas.

मुझे ऐसे प्रोजेक्ट पसंद हैं जो मनोरंजक हों, जिनसे मैं भावनात्मक रूप से जुड़ा हुआ महसूस करूँ और जिनके बारे में देखने के बाद भी सोचने को कुछ न कुछ बचा रहे।
I like projects that are entertaining, where I'm emotionally engaged and there's something to think about afterwards.

असली चुनौती एक ऐसा दिलचस्प और गहरा किरदार गढ़ना है, जिसके साथ दर्शक सालों तक जुड़े रहना चाहें।
The challenge is creating a character that's rich and interesting to warrant following for a number of years.

मेरे हिसाब से पायलट तो पायलट ही होता है, चाहे उसे कोई भी परखे। लेकिन आज के दौर में, जब स्ट्रीमिंग प्लेटफॉर्म्स पर लोग एक ही दिन, दो दिन या एक हफ्ते में पूरी सीरीज़ देख लेते हैं, तो कहानियाँ सुनाने का तरीका पूरी तरह बदल गया है और मैं इसी बारे में सोचता रहता हूँ।
I think a pilot is a pilot, no matter who's judging it, but I will say I am thinking a lot about how to tell stories for the series in a streaming environment where you can anticipate a huge portion of the audience will consume an entire season in the course of a day, two days or a week.

अगर मेरी पूरी कहानी का दारोमदार सिर्फ इस बात पर है कि आप अंत का अंदाज़ा लगा पाते हैं या नहीं, तो फिर सब बेकार है, इसे भूल जाइए।
If my whole game depends on whether you can guess the ending or not, I'm done, forget it.

अक्सर राक्षस मानवीय व्यवहार या इंसानियत के ही किसी न किसी पहलू का रूप होते हैं।
Usually monsters are some aspect of human behavior or humanity at large.

अगर फिल्म देखने के बाद लोग बाहर निकलें और उस पर विचार करें, तो समझो फिल्म कामयाब रही।
If people walk out of the movie and they think about it, then that's quite something.

एक बेहतरीन फिल्म की खूबसूरती यही है कि वह डेढ़-दो घंटे में अपने आप में एक पूरी दुनिया समेट लेती है।
The beauty of a really good movie is that it's a whole world, complete in an hour and a half or two hours.

सुनने में यह थोड़ा फिल्मी लग सकता है, लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि दुनिया को समझने के लिए लोगों को कहानियों की ज़रूरत होती है। यही हमारा काम है, यही हमारा पेशा है—हम कहानियाँ सुनाते हैं।
It sounds corny, but I think people need stories to process the world. That's our business. That's the job we're in. We tell stories.

मुझे ऐसी फिल्में और टीवी शो पसंद नहीं आते जिन्हें देखकर लगे कि "चलो, मनोरंजन तो हो गया, लेकिन बाद में सोचो तो सब खोखला और बेमतलब लगता है।" मेरे लिए ऐसी चीजें जंक फूड जैसी हैं।
I don't like television and movies where it's like, "Well, that was entertaining, but when I think back on it, that didn't really make sense and it's empty." That's like junk food, to me.

ब्रिटेन के कलाकार अद्भुत हैं, और जब तक मैं वहां नहीं गया था, मुझे इसका अंदाज़ा नहीं था। वे आपके लिखे शब्दों को जिस तरह से समझते और निभाते हैं, वह देखकर पता चलता है कि वे कितने गंभीर और विचारशील हैं। गलत मत समझिएगा, अमेरिका में भी महान कलाकार हैं, लेकिन ब्रिटिश कलाकारों की तकनीक वाकई कुछ खास है।
The actors in Britain are incredible, and I didn't appreciate that until I got there. They interpret your words and you realize how deliberate and thoughtful they are. There are great American actors, too, don't get me wrong, but the technique that British actors have is something really special.

मेरे पास करने के लिए इतनी सारी चीजें हैं कि पूरी ज़िंदगी भी कम पड़ जाए। अभिनय की दुनिया की समस्या यह है कि यह बहुत खर्चीली है और इसके लिए बहुत सारे लोगों की सहमति चाहिए होती है।
I have so many things that I want to do, and I don't have enough time in my life to do them all. The problem with acting business is that it's so expensive and you've got to get so many people to say yes.

एक ऐसा दिलचस्प और जटिल किरदार बनाइए जिसके बारे में लोग और जानना चाहें, उसे एक ऐसी यात्रा पर ले जाइए जो समृद्ध और संतोषजनक हो, और जिसका अंत उस किरदार के लिए बिल्कुल सटीक हो—दर्शक उसे ज़रूर पसंद करेंगे।
Create a really interesting, complex person that you want to know more about, and take her on a journey that is rich and fulfilling and that has an end that is perfectly fulfilling, and that has an end that is perfect for that character, and the audience will love it.

मैंने हमेशा अपनी सारी समीक्षाएं पढ़ी हैं, अच्छी भी और बुरी भी (हालाँकि बुरी वाली यादें अच्छी वाली से ज़्यादा गहरी होती हैं!)। मैं बस यह जानने के लिए उत्सुक रहता हूँ कि दर्शकों को फिल्म कैसी लगी, और मेरी खाल इतनी मोटी है कि मैं आलोचनाओं को झेल सकूँ।
I have always read all my reviews, the bad along with the good (although you remember the bad much more than the good!). I am just too curious to see how it's playing with the audience, and I have a thick-enough skin to handle the less charitable assessments.

कहानी के अंत के मामले में आप दर्शकों से ज़्यादा चालाक नहीं बन सकते और न ही उनके अंदाज़ों को मात दे सकते हैं।
You can't outsmart or outguess the audience in terms of what the narrative answer is.

एक चीज़ जो आप कर सकते हैं और जो दर्शक या ऑनलाइन चैट रूम में बैठे बुद्धिजीवी नहीं कर सकते, वह है—किसी किरदार की भावनात्मक यात्रा को इस तरह पेश करना कि वह दिल को छू जाए।
The one thing you can do that the audience can't do - all those smart people online in the chat rooms can't do - is deliver a satisfying emotional journey for a human being, for a character.

लोग टीवी मुख्य रूप से इसलिए देखते हैं क्योंकि वे दुनिया को किसी और की नज़रों से देखना चाहते हैं और समझना चाहते हैं कि वह कैसा है। आप अपनी ज़िंदगी तो एक ही बार जी सकते हैं, इसलिए इन किरदारों के ज़रिए आप दूसरी जिंदगियाँ जीने का अनुभव पाते हैं।
The primary reason people watch television is you want to see the world through somebody else's eyes, and learn what that's like. You can only live one life, and so you get to see other lives through these characters.

एक पत्रकार के तौर पर आपको बहुत तेज़ी से सोचना पड़ता है, आप हर तरह के लोगों और स्थितियों से रूबरू होते हैं, और आपको अपने विचारों को बहुत स्पष्ट और संक्षिप्त रूप में पिरोकर जल्दी लिखना होता है। ये सभी चीज़ें एक टीवी लेखक के रूप में मेरे जीवन में बहुत काम आई हैं।
As a journalist you have to think quickly, you're exposed to all types of people and situations and you've got to synthesize your thoughts in a very clear and concise way and write them down quickly. Those were all things that have proven really useful in my life as a television writer.
