इसलिए मुझे चीजों को बदलते रहना पसंद है। मुझे यह बात अच्छी लगती है कि लोग हंस तो रहे हैं, लेकिन उन्हें यह तक नहीं पता कि उन्हें हंसना भी चाहिए या नहीं। मुझे लगता है कि यह दिलचस्प है। इससे एक मजेदार फिल्म बनती है। और अगर आप किसी को पहले से अंदाजा न लगने दें, तो आप बहुत आसानी से उसकी बात मनवा सकते हैं, बजाय इसके कि आप कोई बहुत गंभीर उपदेश दें।
So I like switching it up. I like that people are laughing but they don't even know if they should be laughing. I think that's interesting. I think it makes for a fun movie. And you're far more likely to be able to actually get something into someone's head if they don't quite see it coming, as opposed to delivering a very serious examination.

हर फिल्म एक सरप्राइज होती है। मजे की बात यही है। आप सालों तक किसी फिल्म की योजना बना सकते हैं, लेकिन उसके बाद भी हर दिन कुछ नया और चौंकाने वाला होना चाहिए, वरना फिल्म बोरिंग हो जाएगी।
Every movie is a surprise. That's what is so fun about it. You can be planning a movie for years, and then you'd better be surprised every day, or it's going to be stale.

हम सब बहुत उकता चुके हैं। हमने इतनी सारी फिल्में देख ली हैं कि हम जानते हैं कि हर फिल्म में आगे क्या होने वाला है। सच कहूँ तो, कुछ फिल्में तो ऐसी होती हैं जिन्हें देखकर लगता है कि मैं इन्हें देखना जारी क्यों रखूं? इसलिए, अगर आप ऐसी फिल्म बना सकें जिसमें दर्शक लगातार हर मोड़ पर पूरी तरह हैरान होते रहें, तो आप जीत गए। अगर कोई थका-हारा फिल्म समीक्षक, रिपोर्टर या दर्शक यह कहे कि "मैंने इसकी उम्मीद नहीं की थी," तो मेरे लिए वह किसी जीत जैसा है।
We're all so jaded. We've seen so many movies. We know what's going to happen in every single movie. I mean, there are some movies where I'm like why do I even need to keep watching? And so, if you can make a movie in which you're completely surprising the audience left and right, and left and right, then you've won. If a jaded film critic or reporter or an audience is like, "I didn't see that one coming," that to me is like a victory.

एक लेखक के रूप में, खुद को इतना आजाद करना मजेदार होता है कि आप अपने व्यक्तित्व के उन अंधेरे पहलुओं को भी टटोल सकें जिनके बारे में कभी-कभी मुझे खुद पता नहीं होता। यह काम जैसा बिल्कुल नहीं लगता।
As a writer, it's fun to free yourself enough to tap into some darker elements of your personality that sometimes I don't even know exist. It doesn't feel like work.

जब आप देखते हैं कि इराक में रोजमर्रा की जिंदगी में क्या हो रहा है - कार बम धमाकों में लगातार लोगों की मौत हो रही है - तो कुछ समय बाद आप इसे लगभग नजरअंदाज करने लगते हैं। इन घटनाओं की मानवीय त्रासदी को वास्तव में समझ पाना झकझोर देने वाला होता है। हम इतनी सारी तस्वीरें देखते हैं, लेकिन अमेरिकियों के मन में हमेशा यह भाव रहता है कि यह सब हमारे अपने देश में नहीं हो रहा है। यही एक और वजह है कि बोस्निया का युद्ध इतना चौकाने वाला था; क्योंकि वह वास्तव में यूरोप के ही आंगन में हुआ था। वह यूरोप में था। और उन्होंने सालों तक इसके खिलाफ कुछ नहीं किया। सच तो यह है कि उस युद्ध को खत्म करने के लिए अमेरिकियों को आगे आना पड़ा। यह वाकई शर्म की बात है।
When you see what goes on in Iraq on a daily basis - more people dying in car bombings - you almost brush it aside after a while. To actually comprehend the human tragedy of these events is overwhelming. We see so many images, but there's always the sense, for Americans, that it's not in our backyard. That's another reason why the war in Bosnia was so fascinating; because it really was in Europe's backyard. It was in Europe. And they didn't do anything about it for years. It took the Americans to end that war, really. That's a shame.

मुझे लगता है कि लोग हर तरह के गुणों का मिश्रण होते हैं। मुझे ऐसे बेताब और लाचार किरदार पसंद हैं जो ऐसे काम करते हैं जो हम में से ज्यादातर लोग आम तौर पर नहीं करेंगे। अगर कोई किरदार धोखेबाज या झूठा है, तो आपको लगता है कि आप उसे जानते हैं, लेकिन जब मैं उनमें कुछ भावनाएं भर देता हूँ, तो वे आपकी कल्पना से कहीं अधिक गहरे और जीवंत हो जाते हैं। इसलिए मैं हमेशा ऐसी कहानी बनाने की कोशिश करता हूँ जिसका अंत आपको पता न हो, और ऐसे किरदार जो कुछ ऐसा करें जिसका अंदाजा लगाना मुश्किल हो।
I think people are a mixture of everything. I like desperate characters because they do things that most of us normally wouldn't do. If a character is a scoundrel or a liar you think you know them, but then I can bring some emotion to them and they become much fuller than you ever imagined. So what I try to do is have a story where you don't quite know where it's going, and characters who you don't quite know where they're going.

मुझे लगता है कि आप मनोरंजन भी कर सकते हैं, और हँसा भी सकते हैं, लेकिन उस दौरान लोग सोच भी सकते हैं, और उन्हें गुस्सा भी आना चाहिए। अमेरिका अपना बहुत सारा समय और पैसा उन लोगों की तलाश करने का नाटक करने में बर्बाद कर रहा है जिन्हें असल में हम ढूंढ ही नहीं रहे हैं। किसी को भी गुस्सा दिलाने के लिए इतना काफी है।
I feel like you can have entertainment, and you can laugh, but during that period of time you can also think, and people should get upset. America is spending a lot of time and money pretending to be searching for people who we're not really searching for. That is enough to get someone angry.

यह बहुत बढ़िया बात होती है जब आप लोगों को झांसा देकर अपनी बात मनवा लेते हैं - मेरा मतलब किसी नकारात्मक तरीके से नहीं, बल्कि सच्चाई से है। अगर हम इस फिल्म का प्रचार युद्ध अपराधियों की तलाश पर एक बहुत गंभीर और गहरी ड्रामा फिल्म के रूप में करते, तो शायद इसकी बहुत अच्छी समीक्षाएं मिलतीं, लेकिन लोग इससे दूर रहते क्योंकि कोई भी उपदेश सुनना पसंद नहीं करता।
It's great when you can bait and switch people - and I don't mean that in a negative way, I mean that in truth. If we were advertising this movie as a very serious indictment about the hunt for war criminals, and it's a very dark drama, it would probably get great reviews, but people would stay away from it because no one wants to be lectured.

खलनायक के साथ भी यही बात है। लोग वास्तव में राдован कराडजिक के पीछे पड़े थे। लेकिन मैंने कई लोगों के व्यक्तित्व को मिलाकर एक ऐसा किरदार गढ़ा जो बाद में 'द फॉक्स' बन गया। साइमन हंट और डक इसी की तलाश में हैं। मैंने ऐसा इसलिए किया ताकि 'फॉक्स' के बोलने और करने के तरीके को लेकर मेरे पास आजादी हो और मैं कहीं बंधा हुआ महसूस न करूं। कुछ मामलों में मैं सच्चाई पर कायम रहना चाहता था, कुछ चीजें मैंने बदल दीं, और कुछ बातें पूरी तरह सच हैं।
Same thing for the bad guy. People were really after this guy Radovan Karadicz. But I came up with a combination of several people, who then became The Fox. That's who Simon Hunt and Duck are after. I did that so I could have freedom with what The Fox said and did, so that I didn't have to be stuck. Certain things I wanted to stay to the truth. Certain things I changed, and certain things are the facts.

मैं असली लोगों पर फिल्म नहीं बना रहा हूँ। मैं इस बात पर फिल्म बना रहा हूँ कि उन्होंने क्या किया, और उनके साथ क्या हुआ। लेकिन मैं ऐसे किरदार गढ़ूँगा जिससे मुझे उन्हें अपनी मर्जी से कुछ भी कहने और कराने की पूरी आजादी मिले। असली जिंदगी के पत्रकारों को इससे कोई परेशानी नहीं थी।
I'm not making a movie about the real people. I'm making a movie about what they did, and what happened to them. But I will create characters so that I can have the freedom to make them say and do what I want. The real-life journalists were fine with that.

मेरे लिए, जब मैं ऐसी फिल्में देखता हूँ जिनमें मुझे पहले से पता होता है कि किरदार कौन हैं और स्थिति क्या है, तो मैं बोर हो जाता हूँ। मेरे लिए सवाल यह होता है कि, "मैं ऐसी कहानी कैसे बताऊँ जो दर्शकों को बांधे रखे?" एक बेहतरीन कहानी यही करती है: वह वैसी नहीं होती जैसी आप उम्मीद करते हैं।
For me, when I see movies where I kind of know who the characters are and what the situation is, I get bored. To me, it's, "How do I tell a story that will keep the audience engaged?" A great story does that: it's not exactly what you expect.

यदि आपके पास ऐसे लोगों का समूह है जो अच्छे होने के साथ-साथ रचनात्मक भी हैं, तो आपको ऐसे सरप्राइज मिलते हैं जैसे बंदरों से भरा कमरा। यह एक बहुत अच्छे दृश्य को सिर्फ एक बेहतरीन दृश्य में बदल देता है। मैं चाहता हूँ कि मेरी फिल्में देखने में दिलचस्प हों, उनमें भरपूर ऊर्जा हो, वे रंगीन और जीवन से भरपूर हों।
If you have that group of people who are both nice and also creative, then you have surprises like a room with monkeys in them. That has taken a very good scene and just made it a great scene. I want my movies to be visually interesting and to have a lot of energy and be colorful and full of life.
