बचपन में ही आपके अंदर एक समझ विकसित हो जाती है। कुछ लोग कहते हैं कि आपका व्यक्तित्व आपके जीवन के पहले तीन-चार वर्षों में ही बन जाता है।
You develop a sensibility when you're a young child. Some people say your personality is formed in the first three, four years of your life.

जो लोग मेरे काम को पसंद नहीं करते थे, उन्हें मैं किसी न किसी रूप में अधूरा, नासमझ, सेंस ऑफ़ ह्यूमर से हीन और असलियत से अनजान मानता था।
I considered people who didn't like my work to be in some way defective, deficient, lacking a sense of humor, and not understanding what was really going on.

अपना बेहतरीन काम निकालने के लिए किसी भी हद तक जाइए—चाहे किसी को धोखा देना पड़े, नियम तोड़ने पड़े या किसी का बहुत बड़ा नुकसान ही क्यों न करना पड़े।
Stop at nothing to get the best work that you can get. Betray, violate, cause enormous harm.

मुझे यह बात बेहद चिढ़ाती थी जब कोई मुझसे कहता, "लगता है तुम पर केन नॉर्डाइन का असर है।" जबकि मैं यह भी नहीं जानता था कि केन नॉर्डाइन कौन है।
I found it extremely annoying when somebody would say something like "You seem to be influenced by Ken Nordine." And I didn't even know who Ken Nordine was.

अगर आप मेरे किसी भी रेडियो शो से संगीत को हटा दें, तो वे वैसे बिल्कुल नहीं रहेंगे। संगीत वाकई बहुत अहम है।
If you took any of my radio shows and you took the music out of them, they wouldn't be remotely the same thing. Music is really important.

अपनी मंज़िल तक पहुँचने के रास्ते में आपको कुछ लोगों की जिंदगियाँ तबाह करनी ही पड़ती हैं।
You've got to destroy a few lives on the way to where you want to get.

यह समय के साथ दौड़ लगाने जैसा है—मौत का एक गहरा अहसास और यह सवाल कि आपके पास कितना वक्त बचा है? आप इसे कैसे बिताना चाहते हैं? मेरे ज़ेहन में हमेशा यही आता है: लिखते रहो, काम करते रहो। लेकिन कभी-कभी इंसान एकदम बंजर सा महसूस करने लगता है। ऐसे में ज़रूरत इस बात की होती है कि मैं अपने उस दिमाग के दायरे से बाहर कहीं और प्रेरणा तलाशूँ, जिसका इस्तेमाल मैं बहुत ज़्यादा अकेले ही करता रहा हूँ।
It's about being in a race with time - just having a strong sense of mortality, and the idea of, How much time do you have left? How do you want to spend it? What I always come up with is: keep on writing, keep on working. But you can become sterile. It's become a matter of trying to find inspiration someplace outside of my own head, which I've been using exclusively for too long.

सुनिए, आप मेरा काम सुनिए और खुद तय कीजिए कि आप उसका समर्थन करना चाहते हैं या नहीं। लेकिन मुझसे यह मत पूछिए कि मैं ऐसा क्यों कर रहा हूँ, क्योंकि सच कहूँ तो मुझे खुद इसका जवाब नहीं पता।
Listen, you listen to the work and you decide whether you want to support it. But don't ask me why I'm doing it, because I really do not know the answer.

जब मैं लेखक बनने के लिए आयोवा यूनिवर्सिटी गया, तो मैंने सोचा कि लिखना सीखने का यह सबसे घटिया तरीका है। एक कमरे में ढेरों ऐसे लोग बैठे हैं जो लेखक बनना चाहते हैं—और हर कोई 'द ग्रेट अमेरिकन नॉवल' लिखना चाहता है—आप उनकी कहानियाँ पढ़ते हैं और वे आपकी पढ़ते हैं, पर आप असल ज़िंदगी जी ही नहीं रहे हैं। मुझे यह पसंद नहीं है। मुझे काम करते-करते सीखना पसंद है। मेरे काम का अंदाज़ यकीनन मेरी ज़िंदगी के अनुभवों से ही गढ़ा है।
When I went to the University of Iowa in order to be a writer, I thought, This is the worst way to learn how to write. To sit in a room with a bunch of would-be writers, who want to write the Great American Novel, every one of them, and you read their stories and they read yours, and you're not living a life. I don't like that. I like learning on the job. The character of my work has definitely evolved from the character of my life.

जान-ए-मन, अपना प्यार मुझसे वापस मत खींचो।
Don't pull your love out on me baby.
