आज दुनिया के एक बड़े हिस्से में लोग भयानक कष्ट झेल रहे हैं, लेकिन हम अपने और अपनी संस्कृति में इतने खोए हुए हैं कि हम दूसरों पर ध्यान ही नहीं दे पा रहे। हम बहुत ज़्यादा आत्मकेंद्रित हो गए हैं।

And there are so many people in the third world suffering so horribly right now, and we are so focused on ourselves and our culture that a lot of things are showing up in our culture that are making it impossible for us to focus on others. We're so self-focused.

पैसा बस एक ऐसी चीज़ है जिसकी ज़रूरत आपको तब पड़ती है जब आप कल न मरें।

Money's only something you need in case you don't die tomorrow.

Find something in your life worth fighting for

आने वाली पीढ़ियाँ हमसे यह नहीं पूछेंगी कि आप किस राजनीतिक दल में थे। वे पूछेंगी कि जब आपको पता था कि ग्लेशियर पिघल रहे हैं, तो आपने उसके बारे में क्या किया।

Future generations are not going to ask us what political party were you in. They are going to ask what did you do about it, when you knew the glaciers were melting.

ईमानदारी से बड़ा कोई गुण नहीं है।

There is no greater virtue than honesty.

मुझे लगता है कि दूसरों की सेवा ही हमारी व्यक्तिगत आज़ादी की असली चाबी है और यही हमारी खुशी, संतोष और पूर्णता का मार्ग है।

I think service to others is the real key to winning our own personal freedom and the road to our own happiness, our own personal contentment and fulfillment.

अगर आप खुद को खोजने की ईमानदार यात्रा पर हैं, तो आप ईश्वर को पा लेंगे।

आयरलैंड में एक कहानी मशहूर है कि एक आदमी स्वर्ग के द्वार पर पहुँचता है और अंदर जाने की अनुमति माँगता है। सेंट पीटर कहते हैं, "बिल्कुल, बस हमें अपने ज़ख्म दिखाओ।" आदमी कहता है, "मेरे पास कोई ज़ख्म नहीं हैं।" सेंट पीटर अफ़सोस जताते हुए कहते हैं, "कितने दुख की बात है, क्या तुम्हारे जीवन में ऐसा कुछ भी नहीं था जिसके लिए लड़ना ज़रूरी था?"

The Irish tell the story of a man who arrives at the gates of heaven and asks to be let in St. Peter says, “Of course, just show us your scars.” The man says, “I have no scars”. St. Peter says, “What a pity was there nothing worth fighting for”?

हमें किसी न किसी चीज़ के लिए लड़ना ही होगा। उसकी कोई कीमत चुकानी होगी। हमारे जीवन और हमारे विश्वास की कोई न कोई कीमत होनी चाहिए, वरना हम उसकी अहमियत पर ही सवाल उठाने लगेंगे।

We have to fight for something. It has to cost us. Our lives, our faith, have to cost us something; otherwise we're left to question its value.

जब तक कोई जुनून की हद तक पागल न हो, तब तक कोई बड़ा काम पूरा नहीं होता।

Nothing ever gets done unless it's done by a fanatic.

लोग भले ही अपने दुखों का बोझ खुद ढो रहे हों, लेकिन वे अपनी उसी पीड़ा के ज़रिए दूसरों के ज़ख्मों पर मरहम लगा सकते हैं।

People, although having their own cross to carry, can minister to others through their own pain.

मुझे लगता है कि खुद को पहचानने का एकमात्र रास्ता एक-दूसरे से जुड़कर ही निकलता है।

गोल्फ खेलने वाला हर इंसान आपको यही बताएगा कि यह खेल दूसरों से नहीं, बल्कि खुद से मुकाबला करने का है।

मेरा यह अटूट विश्वास है कि जो कुछ भी होता है, वह ईश्वर की कृपा है। बस आपको उस कृपा को महसूस करने के लिए अंत तक डटे रहना पड़ता है। मैं स्वभाव से बहुत आशावादी इंसान हूँ।

I sincerely believe that everything - everything - is grace, and you have to stick around long enough to see it through. I'm a very optimistic person.

अगर मेरे काम सिर्फ सफलता के पैमाने पर तौले जाते, तो मैं पूरी तरह विफल होता। मैं सफलता की उम्मीद नहीं करता। हमसे सफल होने के लिए नहीं, बल्कि अपने आदर्शों के प्रति वफादार रहने के लिए कहा गया है। सच कहूँ तो मुझे यह भी नहीं पता कि सफलता आखिर होती क्या है।

If all of the issues that I have worked on were depending on some measure of success, it would be a total failure. I don't anticipate success. We're not asked to be successful, we are only asked to be faithful. I couldn't even tell you what success is.

अभिनय मेरी आजीविका है, लेकिन सामाजिक सक्रियता वह है जो मुझे भीतर से जीवित रखती है।

While acting is what I do for a living, activism is what I do to stay alive.

सच कहूँ तो मुझे नहीं पता कि सविनय अवज्ञा का सरकार पर क्या असर पड़ता है, लेकिन मैं यह वादा कर सकता हूँ कि जो व्यक्ति इसे चुनता है, उसके व्यक्तित्व पर इसका गहरा प्रभाव पड़ता है।

I honestly do not know if civil disobedience has any effect on the government. I can promise you it has a great effect on the person who chooses to do it.

आसान पैसा कमाने की होड़ छोड़िए और अपने जीवन से कुछ सार्थक सृजन कीजिए। दूसरों की खरीद-फरोख्त पर पलने के बजाय, खुद कुछ नया रचिए।

Stop going for the easy buck and start producing something with your life. Create, instead of living off the buying and selling of others.

जिसे हम एक आदर्श समाज समझते हैं, वह असल में दुनिया के इतिहास का सबसे भ्रमित, विकृत और नशे में डूबा हुआ समाज है। हमें सत्ता का नशा है, हमें अपनी छवि का नशा है, और हम हिंसा, तलाक, गर्भपात और वासना के आदी हो चुके हैं।

This supposed idyllic society we have is the most confused, warped, addicted society in the history of the world. We are addicted to power, we're addicted to our own image of ourselves, to violence, divorce, abortion, and sex.

अगर आप संवेदनशील हैं, तो तीसरी दुनिया की गरीबी को करीब से देखने के बाद आप हमेशा के लिए बदल जाते हैं, क्योंकि हम सब अपनी मानवता के धागे से एक-दूसरे से जुड़े हैं। हमारी बनावट ही ऐसी है कि दूसरों का दर्द हमें भी महसूस होता है। यह मुमकिन ही नहीं है कि आप इंसान हों और तीसरी दुनिया के हालात देखकर आपका दिल न पसीजे।

Once you experience Third World poverty, you're really changed forever, if you're at all open to it, because we're all united in our common humanity. And we are so made as to feel something for people who are in pain. It's not possible to be human and to be unaffected by what you see in the third world.

मैं आज भी एक संघर्षशील अभिनेता और शांति व न्याय के लिए लड़ने वाला कार्यकर्ता हूँ। मैं एक ऐसा राही हूँ जो अपनी आज़ादी पाने की कोशिश कर रहा है और मुझे जो यह जीवन रूपी उपहार मिला है, उसके ज़रिए अपनी क्षमता के अनुसार सेवा करना चाहता हूँ।

I am still a journeyman actor and a peace and justice activist. I'm a pilgrim trying to win my freedom and serve as best I can in the time I have, with this gift I've been given.

मैं अभिनय इसलिए करता हूँ क्योंकि इसके बिना मैं खुद के साथ जी नहीं पाऊँगा। मुझे जीने का कोई और तरीका नहीं आता। इसे शब्दों में बयां नहीं किया जा सकता; यह बस वो है जो आप करते हैं, यह वही है जो आप असल में हैं।

I act because I can't seem to live with myself if I do not. I don't know any other way to be. It isn't something you can explain; it is just something that you do; it is something that you are.

नशे से उबरना मेरे जीवन की सबसे बड़ी उपलब्धि है। इसके बिना मेरा बाकी जीवन बिखर गया होता।

मेरा मानना है कि कैथोलिक धर्म की बुनियादी नींव व्यक्तिगत अंतरात्मा है। यह आपके और ईश्वर के बीच का मामला है, आपके और चर्च के बीच का नहीं।

Well, I think that Catholicism's basic foundation of faith is personal conscience. I think it's between you and God, not you and the Church.

मैं राष्ट्रपति नहीं हूँ; बल्कि मैं उससे भी ऊँचे पद पर हूँ—मैं संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका का एक नागरिक हूँ।

I am not the president; instead, I hold an even higher office, that of citizen of the United States.

I am not the president; instead, I hold an even higher office, that of citizen of the United States.

इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि हमने कितने नियमों या सिद्धांतों को माना, अगर हम कैथोलिक धर्म के मूल मंत्र को ही नहीं जी रहे—जो है दूसरों की सेवा करना, अपने भीतर ईश्वर को खोजना और फिर हर किसी में, यहाँ तक कि अपने दुश्मनों में भी, ईश्वर के दर्शन करना।

It doesn't really matter how much of the rules or the dogma we accepted and lived by if we're not really living by the fundamental creed of the Catholic Church, which is service to others and finding God in ourselves and then seeing God in everyone - including our enemies.

मैं कभी राष्ट्रपति नहीं बन सकता। व्हाइट हाउस में कोई शांतिवादी नहीं रह सकता... मैं एक अभिनेता हूँ और यही मेरा पेशा है।

Theres no way that I could be the president. You cant have a pacifist in the White House... Im an actor. This is what I do for a living.

जब आप अहिंसा और सामाजिक न्याय की राह पर चलते हैं, तो जल्द ही आपका समाज और संस्कृति से टकराव होना तय है। जब तक आप मैदान में नहीं उतरते, तब तक आपको अंदाज़ा नहीं होता कि दांव पर क्या लगा है या इसकी क्या कीमत चुकानी होगी। यही एकमात्र रास्ता है, और आप इसमें जितना डूबेंगे, कीमत भी उतनी ही बड़ी होगी।

Once you follow a path of nonviolence and social justice, it won't take you long before you come into conflict with the culture, with the society. You can't know what is at stake or how much it is going to cost you until you get in the game. That's the only way, and the level of cost is equal to the level of involvement.

मुझे नहीं लगता कि अमेरिका के लोगों को तीसरी दुनिया के बारे में पर्याप्त जानकारी दी जाती है।

मेरा विश्वास कभी कम नहीं हुआ... लेकिन बाकी आधुनिक कैथोलिकों की तरह मुझे भी एक समय लगा कि मैं चर्च की परंपराओं से आगे निकल गया हूँ। आज मेरे मन में यह मलाल रहता है कि मैंने अपने बच्चों को वह संस्कार और विश्वास नहीं दिए जो मेरे माता-पिता ने मुझे दिए थे। ज़रूरत के समय मेरा विश्वास ही मेरी ताकत बना। इसी ने मुझे संवारा और प्रेरित किया है।

I never lost my faith...But like all modern Catholics, I felt for a time that I had outgrown the church. Now it is a bone of contention in my soul that I did not share my faith with my kids, as my parents did with me. It was a source of grace when I needed it. I have been greatly nurtured and inspired by my faith.

मैं कोई राजनेता या जनसेवक नहीं हूँ। मैं आज भी एक संघर्षशील अभिनेता और शांति व न्याय का सिपाही हूँ। मैं एक ऐसा मुसाफिर हूँ जो अपनी मुक्ति की तलाश में है और अपनी इस कला के ज़रिए जितना हो सके, समाज की सेवा करने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ।

'द वेस्ट विंग' के मेरे पसंदीदा दृश्यों में से एक वह था जहाँ एक बेघर आदमी की मौत हो जाती है और उसके पुराने कोट की जेब में टोबी (भाषण लेखक) का कार्ड मिलता है। टोबी ने वह कोट दान कर दिया था, जिसे वह आदमी पहन रहा था। टोबी उसके अंतिम संस्कार में जाता है और पता चलता है कि वह कोरियाई युद्ध का सिपाही था। यह हमारे पहले क्रिसमस एपिसोड की कहानी थी और यह एक सच्ची घटना पर आधारित थी। हकीकत की ऐसी कई कहानियाँ किसी भी कल्पना से कहीं ज़्यादा प्रभावशाली होती हैं।

One of my favorite episodes in West Wing was the homeless man that died and they found, in the overcoat he was wearing, a card of the speechwriter, Toby. He had given that coat to the Goodwill and this guy had ended up wearing it, died in it and Toby went to his funeral. He turned out to be a Korean war veteran. It was our first Christmas episode and that was a true story - a member of the staff had done exactly that. So many of these stories were far better than any fiction.

इस शो के ज़रिए हम लोगों को उपदेश देने या उन्हें डेमोक्रेट बनाने की कोशिश नहीं कर रहे हैं। हम बस लोगों को सार्वजनिक जीवन में हिस्सा लेने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करना चाहते हैं, ताकि राजनीति सिर्फ अमीर और रसूखदार लोगों की जागीर बनकर न रह जाए।

On the show, we are not trying to get people to eat their vegetables; we are not trying to get people to become Democrats. We are basically trying to encourage people to get involved with public life so that politics isn't left to the wealthy and privileged.

मुझे कई कारणों से 'द वेस्ट विंग' बहुत पसंद है। यह शो एक कल्पना जैसा रहा है, लेकिन हमने हकीकत के समानांतर एक अलग दुनिया पेश की है।

I love The West Wing for many reasons. The show has been a fantasy. But we have offered a parallel universe to reality.

मैं गोल्फ बहुत ईमानदारी से खेलता हूँ और अपनी हर एक चाल को गिनता हूँ। मैंने इसी तरह खेलना सीखा है और यही मेरा तरीका है। इसने मुझे ईमानदार होना सिखाया, और ईमानदारी से बढ़कर कोई गुण नहीं है।

I am a very conscientious golfer. I count every stroke. I learned to play that way. That is the only way I can play. It taught me to be honest. There is no greater virtue than honesty.

'द वेस्ट विंग' की टीम में शामिल होने वाला मैं आखिरी शख्स था। शुरुआत में मेरा किरदार बहुत छोटा था क्योंकि कहानी का केंद्र राष्ट्रपति का परिवार नहीं बल्कि उनका स्टाफ था। जब मैंने पायलट एपिसोड किया, तो मेरा अनुबंध सिर्फ तीन साल का था और मुझे हर सीजन में केवल तीन-चार एपिसोड ही करने थे। मुझ पर बस एक ही पाबंदी थी कि शो के दौरान मैं किसी और फिल्म में राष्ट्रपति का रोल नहीं कर सकता था। इस तरह, अनजाने में ही मैं अपने जीवन और करियर की सबसे बड़ी उपलब्धि का हिस्सा बन गया।

I was the last one to join the cast of the west Wing and when I started it was just a peripheral character - the focus was to be on the staff, not the First Family. When I did the pilot, my contract was for just three years and it was confined to maybe three or four episodes every season. The only restraint I had was that I could not play another President while the show was on the air. So, I kind of backed into one of the great events of my life and certainly my career.

कोई भी पिता अपने बेटे पर इससे ज़्यादा गर्व नहीं कर सकता। चार्ली की उपलब्धियाँ मुझे अपनी उपलब्धियों से भी ज़्यादा प्यारी हैं। उसने बहुत कुछ झेला है और उससे कहीं ज़्यादा बाधाओं को पार किया है। अगर वह मेरा बेटा न भी होता, तब भी वह मेरा सबसे अच्छा दोस्त होता।

No father could ever be prouder of his son. I hold Charlie's accomplishments dearer than my own. He has been through so much and overcome so much more. Even if he weren't my son he'd still be my best friend.

व्यक्तिगत रूप से मैं गर्भपात के खिलाफ हूँ, लेकिन मैं इस मामले में किसी और के अधिकार पर सवाल नहीं उठाऊँगा क्योंकि मैं एक महिला नहीं हूँ और मैं कभी उस स्थिति की असलियत को नहीं समझ सकता।

मुझे याद नहीं कि मैंने कब सचेत रूप से अभिनेता बनने का सोचा था, लेकिन शुरू से ही मेरे स्वभाव में कुछ ऐसा था जिसमें मैं सहज महसूस करता था। फिर जब मैं पाँच या छह साल का था, मैंने फिल्में देखना शुरू किया और धीरे-धीरे मुझे अहसास हुआ कि मैं भी पर्दे पर दिखने वाले उन लोगों जैसा ही हूँ। बस, वहीं से सब तय हो गया। अपनी आजीविका के लिए मुझे क्या करना है, इसे लेकर मेरे मन में कभी कोई सवाल या संदेह नहीं रहा।

I don't have any conscious memory of wanting to be an actor, but early on, there was something in my makeup that I felt comfortable with. Then when I was around five or six, I started going to the movies and gradually it dawned on me that I was like one of those people on the screen. And that was it. There was never any question or doubt about what I was going to do for a living.

संस्कृति में अपनी जगह के लिए आप भी उतने ही ज़िम्मेदार हैं, आपको अपना योगदान देना ही होगा और आपके समय में जो कुछ भी होता है उसकी ज़िम्मेदारी लेनी होगी। अगर आप रूढ़िवादी हैं, तो भी पर्यावरण की चिंता न करने का आपके पास कोई बहाना नहीं है। आप भी इसके लिए बराबर के ज़िम्मेदार हैं।

You are equally responsible for your place in the culture, and you must make a contribution, and you must accept responsibility for what goes down on your watch. You have no excuse if you are a conservative not to be concerned about the environment. You are equally responsible.

मेरा मानना है कि चर्च ईश्वर तक पहुँचने का एक माध्यम है, वह स्वयं ईश्वर नहीं है। और मुझे लगता है कि ईसा मसीह ने हमें शुरू से ही यही सिखाया था।

मुझे एक उदारवादी डेमोक्रेट, हिस्पैनिक और एक धार्मिक कैथोलिक के रूप में जाना जाता है, लेकिन मैंने कभी भी विशेष रूप से किसी राष्ट्रपति या किसी नेता की भूमिका निभाने के लिए अलग से कोई कोशिश नहीं की।

I think I'm known as a liberal democrat and Hispanic and a practicing Catholic, but I never really went out of my way specifically to play a president or any kind of leader.

अमेरिका में बच्चों की भूख जितनी बड़ी त्रासदी है, उतनी ही बड़ी विडंबना भी। दुनिया के सबसे अमीर देश में भला क्यों भूख 1.2 करोड़ बच्चों और उनके परिवारों के जीवन और सपनों पर अंधेरा छाए? मेरा मानना है कि जब अमेरिकियों को सच्चाई पता चलेगी और वे समझेंगे कि उनकी भागीदारी से क्या बदलाव आ सकता है, तो बच्चों की भूख मिटाना एक राष्ट्रीय, स्थानीय और व्यक्तिगत प्राथमिकता बन जाएगी।

Childhood hunger in America is as much a paradox as it is a tragedy. Why, in the wealthiest country in the world, should hunger darken the lives and dreams of 12 million children and their families? I believe that, when Americans learn the facts and understand how their involvement can make a difference, banishing childhood hunger will be a national, local and personal priority.

गोल्फ बुनियादी तौर पर ईमानदारी का खेल है। मैं लोगों को आठ शॉट मारते हुए देखता हूँ और वे मुझसे कहते हैं कि उन्होंने पाँच मारे हैं। मैं कुछ नहीं कहता। यह मुझे याद दिलाता है कि असल में दांव पर क्या लगा है।

Golf is fundamentally about being honest. I see people hit eight shots and tell me they shot five. I never say a word. It is a reminder to me of what is at stake.

हम हिंसा का मतलब सिर्फ संघर्ष, लड़ाई और युद्ध ही समझते हैं, लेकिन हिंसा का सबसे भयानक और निरंतर रूप तीसरी दुनिया की भीषण गरीबी में दिखता है... और अमेरिका की गरीबी में भी। हमारे यहाँ भी अपनी एक 'तीसरी दुनिया' है। हमें सबसे पहले इसके प्रति जागरूक होना होगा और इसे सुलझाने के तरीके खोजने होंगे।

We think of violence as being conflict and fighting and wars and so forth, but the most ongoing horrific measure of violence is in the horrible poverty of the Third World... and the poverty in the United States as well. We have our own Third World here. And we have to first become aware of that and how to help and solve that.

मुझे डरावनी फिल्में पसंद नहीं हैं। हाल ही में मैंने पहली बार 'साइको' देखी, वह भी रात में घर पर अकेले। वह मेरी एक गलती थी। मुझे अपने दोस्त को बुलाना पड़ा ताकि वह मेरे पास आ सके।

I don't like scary films. I watched Psycho for the first time recently, alone in the house at night. That was a mistake. I had to call my friend to come over.

जिम डीन और एल्विस पूरी एक पीढ़ी की आवाज़ थे। सालों पहले जब मैं न्यूयॉर्क के एक्टिंग स्कूल में था, तब एक कहावत मशहूर थी कि अगर मार्लन ब्रैंडो ने लोगों के अभिनय करने का तरीका बदला, तो जेम्स डीन ने लोगों के जीने का तरीका बदल दिया। वह अब तक के सबसे महान अभिनेता थे। वह वाकई एक जीनियस थे।

Jim Dean and Elvis were the spokesmen for an entire generation. When I was in acting school in New York, years ago, there was a saying that if Marlon Brando changed the way people acted, then James Dean changed the way people lived. He was the greatest actor who ever lived. He was simply a genius.

मुझे नहीं लगता कि गर्भपात एक अच्छा विचार है। व्यक्तिगत रूप से मैं इसके खिलाफ हूँ, लेकिन मैं इस मामले में किसी और के अधिकार पर सवाल नहीं उठाऊँगा क्योंकि मैं एक महिला नहीं हूँ और मैं कभी उस स्थिति की असलियत को नहीं समझ सकता।

मुझ पर देशद्रोही होने और सेना का समर्थन न करने के आरोप लगाए गए हैं। सच इससे कोसों दूर है। फैसले नेता लेते हैं, सैनिकों के पास कोई विकल्प नहीं होता। मैं सैनिकों का एक इंसान के तौर पर समर्थन करता हूँ।

I have been accused of being a traitor, and I have been accused of not supporting the military. Nothing could be further from the truth. The leaders are the ones who make the decisions. The soldiers do not have the choice. I support the soldiers as human beings.

गोल्फ कोर्स पर कैडी के रूप में बिताए वे साल... भाई, वे लोग भी क्या लोग थे। वे अभद्र थे, कुछ शराबी थे, कुछ नस्लवादी थे; उनके साथ काम करना बहुत मुश्किल था। उनमें से कई लोगों में तो मज़ाक समझने की समझ तक नहीं थी।

Those years on the golf course as a caddie, boy, those people were something. They were vulgar, some were alcoholics, racist, they were very difficult people to deal with. A lot of them didn't have a sense of humor.

मुझे लगता है कि ज़्यादातर अभिनेताओं को शायद ही कभी ऐसा किरदार निभाने का मौका मिलता है जो उनके व्यक्तित्व के करीब हो और उन बातों को बयां करे जिनमें वे गहराई से विश्वास रखते हैं।

यह प्रशासन हमें एक ऐसे मोड़ पर ले आया है जहाँ कोई विज़न नहीं है। बुश को इस बात की कोई स्पष्ट समझ नहीं है कि नागरिकों से क्या उम्मीद की जा रही है, और सेना उनके निर्देशों पर चल रही है।

This Administration has led us into an area without vision. Bush has no clear understanding of what is being asked of the citizens, and the military is under his direction.

मैं एक सेलिब्रिटी था। राजनीति मेरी आजीविका नहीं है। मैं राजनेताओं के साथ-साथ मज़दूर वर्ग या पादरियों और अन्य कई तरह के किरदार निभाता हूँ, और आपको टेलीविज़न पर जो दिखता है उससे भ्रमित नहीं होना चाहिए क्योंकि वह मेरा असली व्यक्तित्व नहीं है। इसलिए मैंने हमेशा इसे वहीं खत्म कर दिया।

I was a celebrity. This is not what I do for a living - politics. I play politicians, as well as working class or clergy or whatever, and you mustn't be confused by what you're seeing on television because that's not who I am. So I always ended it.
