चूंकि फिल्म बनाने की प्रक्रिया बेहद स्वाभाविक थी और कोई पटकथा नहीं थी, इसलिए [ड्रीम ऑफ लाइफ] फिल्म संपादन कक्ष (एक्टिंग रूम) में खुद हमें बता रही थी कि वह क्या बनना चाहती है।
Because the filming process was so organic and there was no script, the film [Dream of Life] was literally telling us what it wanted to be in the editing room.

हम बस साथ समय बिता रहे थे और एक-दूसरे के बारे में जान रहे थे। लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि आपसी भरोसा इसमें सबसे बड़ी चीज़ थी। पैटी [स्मिथ] एक अच्छी दोस्त हैं, ऐसी इंसान जिनसे मैं खुलकर बात कर सकती हूँ।
We were just hanging out and getting to learn about each other. But I think trust was a really big thing. Patti [Smith] is a good friend, somebody I can talk to.

सालों के साथ से [पैटी स्मिथ के साथ] हमारा एक-दूसरे पर भरोसा लगातार बढ़ता गया। ज़्यादातर समय तो मेरे पास फिल्म कैमरा भी नहीं होता था।
We just grew to trust each other [with Patti Smith] more and more over the years. Most of the time I didn't even have a movie camera.

मैंने और पैसे जुटाए, सारा फुटेज लिया, एक बेहतरीन संपादक (एडिटर) की मदद ली और यह फिल्म [ड्रीम ऑफ लाइफ] बना डाली। लेकिन सच कहूँ तो मैं फिल्म बनाने के इरादे से इसमें नहीं उतरी थी।
I came up with more money, took all the footage, got a great editor and made this film [Dream of Life]. But I really didn't go into it with the intention of making a movie.

मैंने [ड्रीम ऑफ लाइफ] की पूरी शूटिंग 16-मिलीमीटर पर की, और मैं बस पैटी [स्मिथ] को करीब से जानना चाहती थी।
I shot [Dream of Life] all on 16-millimeter, and I just wanted to learn about Patti [Smith].

कभी-कभी मेरी फैशन तस्वीरें डॉक्यूमेंट्री शैली की तस्वीरों जैसी लग सकती हैं। इसलिए हाथ में कैमरा होना मेरे लिए कोई नई बात नहीं थी।
Sometimes my fashion pictures can look a little bit like documentary style pictures. So having a camera in my hand was normal.

मेरे लिए फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी से फ़िल्ममेकिंग की तरफ़ बढ़ना बेहद आसान था।
For me, moving from photography to film was very easy.

फ़ैशन भी मेरे लिए अभिव्यक्ति का एक बेहतरीन ज़रिया रहा है, और मैं भविष्य में और ज़्यादा फ़ैशन फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी करना चाहता हूँ। इसके अलावा, मैं कई कलाकारों की तस्वीरें भी खींचता हूँ।
Fashion has also been a great outlet, and I'd like to do more fashion photography in the future. I also photograph a lot of artists.

फ़ैशन की दुनिया ने मेरा हमेशा साथ दिया है। इसी की बदौलत 'पैटी स्मिथ: ड्रीम ऑफ़ लाइफ़' फ़िल्म बन पाई।
Fashion's been really good to me. It financed Patti Smith: Dream of Life.

मैं हाई स्कूल में बहुत अच्छा नहीं था, लेकिन मैंने फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी को चुना और मुझे पलों को कैमरे में क़ैद करना बहुत अच्छा लगा। इससे मेरा रुझान इस तरफ़ और बढ़ता गया, और फ़ैशन ही वह रास्ता था जिसके ज़रिए मैंने फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी की दुनिया में कदम रखा। इरविंग पेन या हेलमुट न्यूटन की तस्वीरें देखना वाकई एक जादुई अनुभव था। मैं उनसे बहुत प्रभावित हुआ और यही चीज़ मुझे न्यूयॉर्क शहर खींच लाई।
I didn't do well in high school, but I took photography, and I loved being able to capture moments. It led to more and more photography, and fashion was the angle into photography for me. It was incredible to see photographs by Irving Penn or Helmut Newton. I was really intrigued by that, and that's what led me to New York City.

मेरे परिवार के कई सदस्य कला के क्षेत्र में शिक्षक हैं, और मैंने सालों पहले हाई स्कूल के दिनों में ही कैमरा थाम लिया था।
Many of my family members are teachers in the arts, and I picked up the camera years ago, in high school.

संपादन (editing) का दौर पूरी तरह से आज़ाद माहौल में हुआ, और चूँकि मैंने फ़िल्म [ड्रीम ऑफ़ लाइफ़] स्कूल की कोई पढ़ाई नहीं की थी, इसलिए मैंने बस यही कहा, "हम यह करेंगे, हम वो करेंगे।" इस लिहाज़ से यह एक बेहद शानदार अनुभव रहा।
The editing process was a free-for-all, and since I hadn't gone to film [Dream of Life] school or anything like that, I just said, "We'll do this. We'll do that." It was a really great experience that way.

मैंने कभी फ़िल्म स्कूल की पढ़ाई नहीं की, इसलिए मैंने जो कुछ भी सीखा, वह अपने दम पर ही सीखा।
I never went to film school, so I just sort of learned on my own.

सच कहूँ तो, पैटी [स्मिथ] मेरे लिए एक प्रयोग की तरह थीं। और यह फ़िल्म उसी का परिणाम है। आखिरकार, मैंने फ़िल्म बनाने की बारीकियों के बारे में बहुत कुछ सीखा।
Patti [Smith] was my experiment, to be honest. And the film is what we got out of it. At the end of the day, I learned a lot about how to make a film.

[ड्रीम ऑफ़ लाइफ़] बनाने के सफ़र के दौरान मैंने धैर्य रखना, कभी हार न मानना, एक सपना देखना और लक्ष्य तय करना सीखा। मैंने यह भी सीखा कि अगर आप शुरुआत में कुछ नहीं जानते, तब भी ठान लें तो कुछ भी हासिल कर सकते हैं।
[Through the making of Dream of Life] I learned about being patient, perseverance, having a dream, a goal. I learned that I can accomplish something despite not knowing anything about it when I begin.

मैंने सोचा कि किसी चीज़ को फ़िल्माया कैसे जाए, उसकी तस्वीरें कैसे ली जाएँ और फिर उन सबको आपस में पिरोया कैसे जाए। यह सब मुझे पैटी [स्मिथ] के साथ रहकर समझ आया—क्योंकि वह तस्वीरें खींचती हैं, परफॉर्म करती हैं, लिखती हैं; वह इतने सारे काम करती हैं, और यह बात मेरे लिए बहुत बड़ी प्रेरणा थी। इससे मुझे यह एहसास हुआ कि मैं सिर्फ़ एक फ़ैशन फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी तक सीमित नहीं हूँ। मैं कला के इन तमाम दूसरे क्षेत्रों में भी हाथ आज़माना चाहता था, और फ़िल्म बनाते-ब बनाते मेरा नज़रिया इन संभावनाओं के लिए खुल गया।
I thought about how to film something, how to take pictures of it and how to mix it all together. And I was getting that through Patti [Smith] - because she takes pictures, performs, writes; she does so many things, and that was a big inspiration to me. It helped me realized that I'm not just a fashion photographer. I wanted to do all these other artistic things as well, and during filming my mind opened up to those possibilities.

मैंने उन चीज़ों और पुरानी कलाकृतियों की तस्वीरें लीं जो पैटी [स्मिथ] अपने दोस्तों को दिखाया करती थीं, क्योंकि मैं उन्हें दस्तावेज़ की तरह सहेज कर रखना चाहता था।
I took pictures of the objects and artifacts that Patti [Smith] would show to her friends because I wanted to document them.

मैं पैटी [स्मिथ] पर एक फ़िल्म [ड्रीम ऑफ़ लाइफ़] बना रहा था, लेकिन साथ ही मैं तस्वीरें भी खींच रहा था।

मुझे याद है जब हम सनडांस में रॉबर्ट रेडफ़र्ड के स्क्रीनिंग रूम में थे, तब मैंने फ़िल्म को कभी इतना खूबसूरत और उसकी आवाज़ को इतना बेहतरीन नहीं देखा था। वह न सिर्फ़ बहुत बड़े पर्दे पर थी बल्कि बेहद असरदार भी थी, और इस तरह के प्रोजेक्ट को पूरा करने के बाद मुझे एक गहरी संतुष्टि का अनुभव हुआ।
I remember when we were at Sundance, we were in Robert Redford's screening room, and I had never seen the film look so beautiful or sound so great. It was really big and really powerful, and I had a sense of accomplishment in finishing a project like this.

मैं मूल रूप से पैटी [स्मिथ] का संदेशवाहक बन गया था, और यह फ़िल्म पैटी को समझने के मेरे अपने नज़रिए को दर्शाती है।
I became Patti's [Smith] messenger, basically, and the film is my view of how I learned about Patti.

बड़े पर्दे पर इस फ़िल्म [ड्रीम ऑफ़ लाइफ़] को देखना वाकई एक असाधारण अनुभव है।

उम्मीद है कि मैं बहुत से लोगों को [पैटी स्मिथ] के बारे में जानने, कविताएँ पढ़ने या विलियम ब्लेक और आर्थर रैम्बो के बारे में सीखने के लिए प्रेरित कर पाऊँगा।
Hopefully I can inspire lots of people to learn about [Patti Smith], to read poetry or learn about William Blake or Arthur Rimbaud.
