मैं वाक़ई कुछ ऐसा करना चाहता था जो इस बात पर मुहर लगा सके कि हम क्या कर रहे हैं और समाज में हमारी ज़िंदगी कैसी है, और जो धाराएँ सीमाओं को तोड़ती हैं, वे केबल पर आने वाले शो होते हैं, ख़ास तौर पर शोटाइम जैसे नेटवर्क।
I really wanted something that could make a statement about what we were doing and the life we were living in society, and the shows that push the boundaries, in those ways, are shows on cable, particularly networks like Showtime.

आप कभी अंदाज़ा नहीं लगा सकते कि दर्शक किस चीज़ पर कैसी प्रतिक्रिया देंगे और क्या देखेंगे। हम हमेशा से यह जानते थे कि हम कुछ ऐसा बना रहे हैं जिस पर हमें गर्व है और जो हमें अहम लगता है, और हमें उम्मीद थी कि लोगों को भी ऐसा ही महसूस होगा।
You can never predict what an audience is going to respond to and what they're going to watch. What we always knew was that we were making something that we were proud of and that we thought was important, and we hoped that people would feel the same way.

मैंने कभी इसलिए लिखना शुरू नहीं किया था कि मुझे अपने लिए कुछ लिखना था। असल बात यह थी कि मेरे पास ये कहानियाँ थीं जिन्हें मैं बयान करना चाहता था, और मैं ऐसे लोगों के साथ काम करना चाहता था जिनकी मैं इज़्ज़त करता था और जिन्हें मैं पसंद करता था।
I never started writing because I wanted to write myself stuff. It was really more that I had these stories to tell, and I wanted to work with people that I respected and liked.

मैं उम्मीद करता हूँ कि मुझे कभी अभिनय करना बंद न करना पड़े। मुझे यह बहुत पसंद है। लेकिन, मुझे लगता है कि अभिनय की सबसे अच्छी बात यह है कि इसमें हर समय इन शानदार लोगों के साथ काम करने का मौक़ा मिलता है, और लिखने से मुझे उन लोगों से मिलने और कहानियाँ बयाँ करने का एक नया ज़रिया मिला, जो मैं हमेशा से करना चाहता था, और साथ ही चुटकुले लिखना भी। मुझे कॉमेडी बहुत पसंद है, इसलिए लिखना मेरे दिमाग़ में चल रहे इन चुटकुलों को काग़ज़ पर उतारने का एक ज़रिया बन गया।
I hope I never have to stop acting. I love it. But, I think the coolest thing about acting is working with these amazing people all the time, and writing represented a new way to meet those people and to tell stories, at the same time, which I've always wanted to do, and to tell jokes. I love comedy, so writing was a way of getting these jokes that I had down on the page.

और फिर, एक बार जब आप लिख लेते हैं, तो आपकी मुलाक़ात निर्माताओं, निर्देशकों और अभिनेताओं से होती है। आपको दिलचस्प, प्रतिभाशाली, रचनात्मक और कलाप्रेमी लोगों से मिलने का मौक़ा मिलता है, और जब आप अभिनय नहीं कर पाते—जो कि इस इंडस्ट्री की कड़वी सच्चाई है—तो यह लेखन आपकी रचनात्मकता को ठहरने से भी बचाता है। अक्सर ऐसा होता है कि आप अभिनय नहीं कर पाते क्योंकि यहाँ दौड़ने वाली गाड़ियाँ तो बहुत हैं पर पार्किंग के लिए जगह नहीं है। लेकिन, मुझे लिखना बहुत पसंद है और मैं यह कभी बंद नहीं करूँगा।
And then, once you've written, you meet producers and directors and actors. You get to meet interesting, talented, creative, artistic people, and it also staves off a bit of creative stagnation when you can't act, which is the reality of the industry. So often, you can't act because there are just too many cars and not enough car parks. But, I love writing and I'll never stop doing that.

मैंने अपनी एक शॉर्ट फ़िल्म का निर्देशन किया था जिसे दुनिया भर के फ़िल्म फेस्टिवल्स में दिखाया गया था, और वह अनुभव बहुत शानदार था। अब मुझे इसकी चस्का लग गया है। मैं बस यही उम्मीद करता हूँ कि मैं खुद को चुनौती देता रहूँ और ऐसे लोगों के साथ ऐसी चीज़ें करता रहूँ जो मुझे दिलचस्प लगें और जो मेरा सम्मान करें और मुझे कुछ सिखाएँ। अगर मैं अभिनय, लेखन, निर्देशन या किसी भी चीज़ में ऐसा करना जारी रखूँ, तो मैं करूँगा क्योंकि ज़िंदगी बहुत छोटी है।
I directed one of my shorts that did festivals around the world, and that was great. I've got a bit of a bug for that now. I just hope I keep challenging myself and keep doing stuff that interests me with people who I respect and who teach me stuff. If I can keep doing that in anything - acting, writing, directing or whatever - I'll do it because life is short.

यह बहुत कम होता है कि जो इंसान संख्याओं की भाषा में इतना माहिर हो, वह ज़िंदगी की भाषा में भी उतना ही अच्छा हो। ये दोनों बिल्कुल अलग दुनियाएँ हैं।
It's very rare that someone who is so good at the language of numbers, is as good at the language of life. They're two very different worlds.
