मैं हमेशा कुछ न कुछ पढ़ती रहती हूँ। और मैं कहानियों की एक पूरी सूची अपने पास रखती हूँ, जिनमें अक्सर अनोखी कहानियाँ होती हैं। उस सूची میں सौ से ज़्यादा विचार शामिल हैं।

I'm always reading. And I keep a whole list of stories, often unusual stories. There are a hundred some-odd ideas on that list.

जिन लोगों पर मैंने कहानियाँ लिखी हैं, उनमें से लगभग सभी के साथ मेरा संपर्क है। मैं अक्सर कल्पना करती हूँ कि अगर कभी मैं बहुत अमीर बन गई, तो मैं एक बड़ी पार्टी रखूँगी और इन सभी लोगों को वहाँ बुलाऊँगी। वे सब उस पार्टी में घूम रहे होंगे—बिली मिशेल, मास्टर लीजेंड, सांता टिम, रियो डियाएंजेलो, मिस्टर रोमांस (2007 के आसपास), और इसी तरह के कई अन्य लोग।

I am in communication with almost everybody I've done a story about. I have a fantasy that if I ever strike it rich, I'll have a big party and fly all of these people there, and they'll be roaming around the party - Billy Mitchell, Master Legend, Santa Tim, Rio DiAngelo, Mr. Romance circa 2007, and so on.

मुझे ऐसा नहीं लगता कि मेरी कहानियों के पात्र खुद से झूठ बोल रहे हैं। खैर, कुछ लोग ऐसा करते हैं—हर कोई किसी न किसी स्तर पर ऐसा करता है। लेकिन उनके बारे में कुछ तो ऐसा है कि वे सभी अपनी ही बुनी हुई दुनिया या कहानी में जीते हैं।

I don't think that the people in my stories are lying to themselves. Well, some of them are - everybody is at some level. But there is something about how they all inhabit a narrative of their own making.

मैं उन सभी लोगों से बहुत प्रभावित हुई थी जिन्होंने आत्महत्या कर ली थी। उनके कई ऐसे वीडियो मौजूद हैं जिनमें वे बात कर रहे हैं कि वे अपनी इंसानी जिंदगी को छोड़ने और अपने 'शरीर रूपी वाहन' से बाहर निकलने को लेकर कितने खुश हैं, और मैंने सोचा, "आखिर ऐसा क्यों है?"

I was really struck by all these people who had committed suicide. There are videos of all of them talking about why they're so happy to shed their human existence and exit their "vehicles" and I thought, "Why is that?"

कभी-कभी आप कुछ पढ़ते हैं और सोचते हैं, "यहाँ चल क्या रहा है? इसके पीछे कुछ और भी होना चाहिए।" समाचार के दायरे और सीमाओं की वजह से उसमें ज़्यादा विवरण नहीं आ पाता, या तो लेखक की उस पर नज़र नहीं गई या फिर उसकी उसमें दिलचस्पी नहीं थी।

Sometimes you'll read something and think, "What is going on here? There must be more to this." The constraints of the news format didn't allow for more detail, or the writer didn't see it or just wasn't interested.

कभी-कभी, मैं कोई समाचार पढ़ती हूँ और उसमें किसी और चीज़ के बारे में बस एक लाइन होती है, जो मुझे दिलचस्प लगती है और फिर मैं उसकी गहराई में जाती हूँ। वह अक्सर अपने आप में एक पूरी कहानी बन जाती है।

Sometimes, I'll read a news story and there will be one line about something else, and I'll find it interesting and look into it. That can often turn into an entire story on its own.

जब आपको कोई अच्छी कहानी मिले और आपको यह पता चले कि उस इंसान की मौत हो चुकी है, तो यह हमेशा बहुत निराशाजनक होता है, क्योंकि फिर उस पर रिपोर्ट करना मुश्किल हो जाता है।

That's always disappointing when you find a good story and you realize the person has died, because then it's difficult to report.

अक्सर मेरे पात्रों के भीतर किसी न किसी तरह का आदर्शवाद या कोई बड़ा विश्वास होता है, जिसके पीछे वे भाग रहे होते हैं।
