مجھے اس سے کوئی فرق نہیں پڑता کہ کسی کو تعلیم کہاں سے ملتی ہے، بشرطیکہ اس کے پاس تعلیم ہو۔
I don't care how somebody gets their education, as long as they have one.

میں حقیقت کا استعمال اس لیے کرتا ہوں کیونکہ میں چاہتا ہوں کہ میرا کام حقیقی لگے، دل کے قریب محسوس ہو۔ میں کوئی من گھڑت بات کر کے اسے بچکانہ یا غیر متعلق نہیں بنانا چاہتا۔
I do use reality because I want my work to feel real, I want it to feel heartfelt. I don't want to make it up and have it sound corny or unrelatable.

حالات بدل رہے ہیں۔ انہیں مزید بدلنے کی ضرورت ہے۔ اس بات پر کوئی حیرت نہیں ہونی چاہیے کہ کوئی عورت کچھ کرتی ہے، کیونکہ عورتیں سب کچھ کرتی ہیں۔
Things are changing. They need to change more. It should not be of any note that a woman does something, because women do everything.

میری بیٹی کچھ بھی کر سکتی ہے اور کچھ بھی بن سکتی ہے، اسے شیشے کی چھت (رکاوٹوں) کو توڑنے کے لیے کوئی جدوجہد نہیں کرنی پڑے گی۔ اسے اس بات پر حیرت نہیں ہوگی کہ یہ کوئی بہت انوکھا کام ہے۔ اگر میری بیٹی کسی فلم کے لیے ساؤنڈ ٹریک تیار کرتی ہے، تو ایک لڑکی کے لیے اس میں کوئی انہونی بات نہیں ہوگی۔ جب میں نے یہ کیا تھا، تو یہ بہت غیر معمولی بات تھی۔
My daughter could do and be anything, without having to fight to get through the glass ceiling. Without having it be so extraordinary. If my daughter went to produce a soundtrack for a movie, there would be nothing extraordinary about a girl doing it. When I did it, it was highly unusual.

جب میں سولہ سال کی تھی، میں نے اپنے چھوٹے شہر کے محدود دائرے سے باہر سوچنا شروع کر دیا۔ اس کا یہ مطلب نہیں کہ میرے چھوٹے شہر کے لوگ تنگ نظر ہیں—ہرگز نہیں! وہاں ایک شاندار کالج ہے، اور مجھے اس کالج سے شاندار اساتذہ ملے۔ لیکن جہاں تک ایک قدامت پسندانہ پرورش کا تعلق ہے جو مجھے اپنے خاندان سے ملی تھی، میں نے بس چیزوں پر سوال اٹھانا اور خود سے سوچنا شروع کر دیا۔
When I was sixteen, I began to think outside the box of my small town. Not that the people in my small town are in a box - they're not! There's a brilliant college there, and I had brilliant teachers from that college. But in terms of a conservative upbringing, which I did have within my own family, I just began to question things and to think for myself.

میری پرورش ایک عیسائی چرچ میں ہوئی اور میں نے حضرت عیسیٰ کی تعلیمات کا مطالعہ کیا۔ میں دوسروں کا خیال رکھنے اور مہربان بننے میں یقین رکھتی ہوں۔ یہ ایسی چیز ہے جس پر مجھے آج بھی ہر روز محنت کرنی پڑتی ہے۔
I was brought up in the Christian church and I studied in the teachings of Jesus. I believed in caring for others and trying to be kind. It's something I still have to work on every day.

میرے نزدیک، وہ گھریلو خاتون جو اپنے شوهر کے ڈشز نہ دھونے پر اپنی گندی چائے کے پیالے سنک میں چھوڑ دیتی ہے، وہ سیاست کر رہی ہے۔ ہر کام سیاسی ہے: جو آپ کرتے ہیں، اور جو آپ کرنے سے گریز کرتے ہیں؛ جس کام سے آپ انکار کرتے ہیں؛ جو کام آپ نہیں کر पाते؛ جو آپ کہتے ہیں، اور جو آپ نہیں کہتے۔
To me, the housewife who puts her teacups unwashed in the sink because her husband won't wash them, is political. Every act is political: the things you do, as well as the things you omit doing; the things you refuse to do; the things you fail to do; the things you say, as well as the things you don't say.

اسٹیج پر جانے اور وہ درد بھرا بلیوز گیت گانے سے ٹھیک دس منٹ پہلے، ہو سکتا ہے آپ صرف ایک گلاس پانی پی رہے ہوں، برش کر رہے ہوں یا گہری سانسیں لے رہے ہوں۔
Ten minutes before you go onstage and you begin singing that torchy blues song, you may just be drinking a glass of water and brushing your teeth and doing some deep breathing.

گائیک، موسیقار اور گیت نگار "ادکاری" کا لفظ استعمال کرنا پسند نہیں کرتے کیونکہ ہم چاہتے ہیں کہ یہ اس سے زیادہ حقیقی محسوس ہو—ہم چاہتے ہیں کہ یہ ہمارے اندر سے آئے: قدرتی طور پر، سچے دل سے، اصلی روپ میں۔
Singers, musicians, and songwriters don't want to use the word "acting" because we want it to be more real than that - we want it to come from us: naturally, truly, really.

آپ یہ نہیں سننا چاہتے کہ کسی نے اداکاری بہت اچھی کی ہے۔ آپ یہ سننا چاہیں گے کہ، "اس نے وہ شخص کہاں سے ڈھونڈ نکالا؟ اس نے اس فیکٹری مزدور کو فیکٹری سے نکال کر کیمرے کے سامنے کیسے لا کھڑا کیا؟" آپ یہ یقین کرنا چاہتے ہیں کہ وہ شخص بالکل اصلی ہے۔
You don't want to say somebody did a great job of acting. You want to say, "Where did he find that person? How did he get that factory worker to come out of the factory and be on camera?" You want to believe that person is real.

فنکار سیاسی میدان میں اپنی شہرت کی بدولت کامیاب ہو سکتے ہیں، بشرطیکہ وہ خود کو اس کے قابل بنا لیں۔
Artists are able to do well in the political arena because of fame, if only they can educate themselves.

اگر آپ بغیر کسی حفاظتی تدبیر کے بس ایک قدم آگے بڑھاتے چلے جائیں گے، تو ہو سکتا ہے آپ باڑ سے نیچے گر پڑیں۔

پاگل پن اور ہوش مندی، یا تندرستی اور بیماری کے درمیان کی لکیر بہت ہی نازک اور باریک ہوتی ہے۔
The line is very delicate and fine between being what one might call sane or insane, well or unwell.

नारीवाद का पक्षपात से कोई लेना-देना नहीं है।
Feminism has nothing to do with partisanship.

मैं जितने भी सीधे-साधे पुरुषों को जानती हूँ, वे सभी नारीवादी हैं। अगर वे ऐसे न होते, तो वे मेरे दोस्त ही न होते।
Every straight man I know is a feminist. They wouldn't be my friends if they weren't.

मुझे टेलर स्विफ्ट या जोआन [मिचेल] की यह बात समझ नहीं आती—आखिर वे यह क्यों नहीं मान सकतीं कि वे नारीवादी हैं?! असल में लोग इस शब्द का मतलब ही नहीं समझते। इसका सीधा सा मतलब है कानून के समक्ष समान अधिकार।
I don't understand that about Taylor Swift, or about Joan [Mitchell] - how can she not say she's a feminist?! People don't understand what the word means. It simply means equal rights before the law.

एक लेखक के तौर पर, आप शुरुआत करने के लिए कोई जगह तलाशते हैं। एक बार जब आपको शुरुआत मिल जाती है और आप पहली दो पंक्तियाँ लिख लेते हैं, तो फिर दुनिया की कोई ताकत उसे बदल नहीं सकती।
As a writer, you look for someplace to start. Once you have a beginning and you've written the first two sentences, nothing else will ever change it.

जब मैं करीब दस साल की थी, तो चर्च की परंपराओं से मेरा भरोसा उठने लगा था। मेरी कुछ शिक्षा मेरे हाई स्कूल के सरकारी और इतिहास के शिक्षकों द्वारा हुई थी।
By the time I was about ten, I had started to lose faith with church ways. I was educated in some ways by my high school government and history teachers.

मैं हमेशा अपने गानों को ऐसे गाती हूँ मानो वे मेरी अपनी आत्मकथा हों, भले ही वे ऐसा न हों; हालांकि मेरे अधिकांश गाने मेरे अपने जीवन से ही जुड़े होते हैं।
I always sing them as though they are autobiographical, even if they're not, and most of my songs do come from something about me.
