मैं तुम्हें सालों से कह रहा हूँ कि अगर उन्हें अपनी मनमानी नहीं मिली, अगर यह सब जो हुआ है उससे वे अपनी विश्व स्तर की तानाशाही समाजवादी सरकार बनाने, अमेरिकी लोगों को निहत्थे करने और अपनी 'न्यू वर्ल्ड ऑर्डर' बनाने में कामयाब नहीं हुए, तो वे किसी परमाणु बम से अमेरिका के किसी शहर को उड़ा देंगे। वे ऐसा करेंगे। मैंने यह बात शायद दो सौ बार कही होगी।

I've been telling you for years that if they don't get their way, if all of this stuff that's happened does not enable them to bring about their world totalitarian socialist government, disarm the American people and create their New World Order, they'll blow up an American city with an atomic bomb. They will do it. I have said it probably a couple of hundred times.

सोनी के लिए मैंने जो फिल्में बनाई हैं, उन्होंने मुझे कभी भी दर्शक वर्ग (क्वाड्रेंट) से जुड़े निर्देश नहीं दिए। वे कहते हैं, "इसे बनाते रहो। बस वही फिल्म बनाओ जो तुम बनाना चाहते हो।" खासकर कॉमेडी में क्योंकि कॉमेडी का टोन बहुत खास होता है।

In the movies I've done for Sony, they've never given me quadrant specific notes ever. They say "Keep making it. Just make the movie you want to do." Especially in a comedy because comedy is so tone specific.

एकांत कारावास का बड़े पैमाने पर इस्तेमाल किया जाता रहा है, हमेशा से होता आया है। मैं 44 साल तक जेल में रहा; यह जीवन का एक सामान्य हिस्सा था - इसका चलन था। वे आपको अनुशासनात्मक कारणों से एकांत कारावास में डालते हैं, वे आपको हिंसा या किसी अन्य चीज़ से बचाने के लिए एकांत कारावास में डालते हैं, और वे सिर्फ यह दिखाने के लिए भी आपको एकांत कारावास में डालते हैं कि असली ताक़त किसके पास है... यह कोई नई बात नहीं है; यह बस ऐसी चीज़ है जिसकी परवाह अतीत में वास्तव में किसी ने नहीं की।

Solitary confinement has been used extensively, it always has. I was in prison for 44 years; it was a normal part of life - the practice of it. They put you in solitary confinement for disciplinary reasons, they put you in solitary confinement to protect you from violence or whatever, and they also put you in solitary confinement just to show you who has got the power ... It's not something new; it's just something that nobody really cared about in the past.

थॉमस जेफरसन अखबारों से सख्त नफरत करते थे, और इसके पीछे उनके पास ठोस वजहें थीं। अखबारों ने उनके बारे में ऐसी झूठी और मानहानि करने वाली बातें छापीं जो आज तक चली आ रही हैं। फिर भी, उनका यह मशहूर कथन था कि यदि उन्हें बिना अखबारों की सरकार और बिना सरकार के अखबारों में से किसी एक को चुनना पड़े, तो वे खुशी-खुशी उस देश में रहना चुनेंगे जहाँ अखबार हों (चाहे वे बहुत अच्छे न हों) और सरकार न हो।

Thomas Jefferson despised newspapers, with considerable justification. They printed libels and slanders about him that persist to the present day. Yet he famously said that if he had to choose between government without newspapers and newspapers without government, he would cheerfully choose to live in a land with newspapers (even not very good ones) and no government.

एक 'अनचाही गर्भावस्था' एक खूबसूरत सरप्राइज हो सकती है, जो भले ही नियोजित न हो पर स्वागत योग्य होती है। सरकार को किसी आश्चर्यजनक लेकिन स्वागत योग्य गर्भावस्था को 'रोकने' के काम में क्यों पड़ना चाहिए?

An 'unintended pregnancy' could be a wonderful surprise, not planned but welcome. Why should the government be in the business of 'preventing' a surprising but welcome pregnancy

आज जब मैं अपनी यात्रा के पिछले दो दशकों को मुड़कर देखता हूँ, तो मुझे लगता है कि बहुत से लोग मेरे कलात्मक अभ्यास को क्रॉस-मीडिया के एक प्रयोग के रूप में देखेंगे। मैंने पिछले 20 वर्षों में वाकई कई अलग-अलग माध्यमों को आजमाया है और विभिन्न क्षेत्रों के लोगों के साथ कई तरीकों से सहयोग किया है। हालाँकि, मैं इस प्रक्रिया को उस "चुनाव के अधिकार" के खो जाने की भरपाई के रूप में देखना पसंद करता हूँ, जो मैंने कभी गंवा दिया था—यह स्वतंत्र पसंद का अभ्यास करने और उसके परिणामस्वरूप सामने आने वाले किसी भी परिणाम की जिम्मेदारी लेने जैसा है। सच कहूँ तो, यह थोड़ा सनक भरा काम लग सकता है।

When I look back on the past two decades of my journey today, I guess many people would interpret my artistic practice as a kind of cross-media attempt. I have indeed tried many different kinds of media over the past 20 years and collaborated in many different ways with people from many different fields. However, I like to understand this process as a kind of compensation for having once lost my "right of choice," an exercise of free choice and taking responsibility for any consequences that might result from it. To be honest, it's a bit of a paranoid act.

कोई भी ऐसी विचारधारा जो डर पर आधारित हो, कमज़ोरी को बढ़ावा दे, असहिष्णुता को सही ठहराए, बदले की धमकी दे, निष्क्रियता को बढ़ावा दे और आपसे आपकी व्यक्तिगत ताकत छीन ले, वह आपके साथ अन्याय कर रही है।

Any belief system that is based on fear, encourages weakness, sanctions intolerance threatens vengeance, promotes passivity and requires you to relinquish your personal power is doing you a disservice.

सेक्सुअल क्रांति ने सांस्कृतिक उथल-पुथल पैदा की, जिसकी 20वीं सदी में कोई दूसरी मिसाल नहीं मिलती। इतिहास में पहली बार महिलाओं की कामुकता को मान्यता मिली और उन्हें ऑर्गे्ज़्म का हकदार माना गया। सेक्सुअल "विकृतियों" से जुड़े लोगों, खासकर समलैंगिकों को आंशिक रूप से आज़ादी और अधिकार मिले।

The sexual revolution produced cultural convulsions that were unparalleled in the 20th century. The female sex was historically sexualized and required to have orgasms for the first time. Sexual "deviants," particularly homosexuals, achieved partial emancipation.

मैंने जितने भी कॉन्सर्ट किए हैं, उनके दौरान लगभग हमेशा ही मेरी यादें मेरे जेहन में ताज़ा रहीं, और मुझे अपने बचपन से उस गहरे जुड़ाव का अहसास हुआ जब मैं सुबह-सुबह बाहर जाता था और मेरी माँ बस इतना ही कहती थीं, "अंधेरा होने से पहले वापस आ जाना।" कितना विश्वास और कितनी आज़ादी थी वह!

Memories were in my mind during nearly all the concerts I've done, and I realized the deep connection to my childhood, when I went out in the morning and the only thing my mom said was, "Come back before dark." What trust and what freedom!

1990 के दशक में नाटो द्वारा यूगोस्लाविया पर किए गए हमलों के बाद से, कई पश्चिमी राजनेताओं को ऐसा लगने लगा है कि सैन्य हस्तक्षेप और एयरस्ट्राइक ही नीतिगत फैसले लेने का वैध तरीका बन गए हैं। वे उन सबको रास्ते पर लाना चाहते हैं जो समाज के लोकतंत्रीकरण और अर्थव्यवस्था के उदारीकरण के पश्चिमी नजरिए से इत्तेफाक नहीं रखते। लेकिन वैश्वीकरण के इस रूप का कोई भविष्य नहीं है।

In the minds of many Western politicians, military interventions and air strikes appear to have become legitimate policy tools since the NATO attacks on Yugoslavia during the 1990s. That's how they intend to bring everyone into line who don't share the Western view of democratization of society and the liberalization of the economy. But there is no future for that kind of globalization.

रूस में जब भी आपका सामना किसी छोटे-मोटे अधिकारी से होता है, तो वह आपको यह महसूस करा देता है कि वह आपसे ऊपर है और आप उस पर निर्भर हैं। यह उस महाशक्ति वाली मानसिकता में झलकता है जो क्रेमलिन को खाद-पानी देती है। एक साम्राज्य हमेशा अपनी जनता से कुर्बानियों की माँग करता है।

In Russia whenever you encounter a minor official, he lets you know that he is above you and that you depend on him. It is reflected in the superpower mentality that nourishes the Kremlin. An empire always demands sacrifices from its people.
