मेरिल [स्ट्रीप] ने 'रॉटेन टमैटोज़' पर महिला समीक्षकों के कम प्रतिशत के खिलाफ आवाज़ उठाई थी। वहाँ 760 पुरुष समीक्षक और सिर्फ 168 महिलाएं क्यों हैं? इससे तुरंत ही इस बात पर [पूर्वाग्रह] आ जाता है कि आपको किस तरह की फिल्में देखने की सलाह दी जा रही है। आपको क्या बताया जाता है कि कौन सी फिल्में अच्छी हैं? पुरुषों वाली फिल्में।

मुझे लगता है कि एक तरफ़ तो हमारा दर्शक वर्ग और हमारी संस्कृति अब इतनी समझदार हो चुकी है कि वे यह अच्छी तरह समझते हैं कि टीज़र इफ़ेक्ट्स हमेशा आख़िरी प्रोडक्ट की पूरी तस्वीर नहीं दिखाते, लेकिन साथ ही मैं यह भी कहूँगा कि टीज़र में ऐसा एक भी शॉट नहीं है जिससे मैं पूरी तरह खुश न हूँ।

I think that, on the one hand, our audience, our culture is so savvy now to an assumption that teaser effects are not fully representative of the final product. But in the same breath, I would say there's no shot in the teaser that I'm not really happy with.

मुझे जिस बात से सबसे ज्यादा ठेस पहुँची है, वह है संग्रहालयों पर यह हुक्म चलाने की कोशिश कि वे क्या दिखाएं, और वाशिंगटन के राजनेताओं के वे बयान जिन्होंने 'नेशनल एंडोवमेंट फॉर द आर्ट्स' की स्वतंत्रता को सीमित कर दिया है। इन असली मुद्दों से ध्यान भटकाने के लिए यह अफवाह उड़ा दी गई कि मैंने होलोकॉस्ट (יהودਹ/यहूदी नरसंहार) को कमतर आंका है।

हम अपने बच्चों को जो संदेश दे रहे हैं और आज लोग जिस तरह की जिंदगी जी रहे हैं, वह बेहद सतही और पाखंडी लगती है। जब आप रुक कर इसके बारे में सोचते हैं, तो इसका कोई मतलब नहीं बनता, यह एक तरह से बेवकूफी है।

मेरा काम अब थोड़ा अजीब हो गया है। मैं कंसल्टिंग करता हूँ, और लोग मुझसे पूछते हैं, "क्या आप इस पर अपनी राय दे सकते हैं, और क्या आप एक तस्वीर खींच सकते हैं?" और कई पत्रिकाओं ने मुझसे संपर्क किया है, लेकिन मैं चीज़ों को धीरे-धीरे आगे बढ़ाने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ। असल में, मैं फोटोग्राफर की उस पहली पीढ़ी का हिस्सा हूँ जिन्हें पत्रिकाओं पर निर्भर रहने की ज़रूरत नहीं है क्योंकि हमारे पास अपना खुद का मीडिया है और हर कोई हमारी तस्वीरें देखता है।

My work has gotten a bit strange. I do consulting, and people ask, "Could you give me your opinion on this, and could you take a picture?" And I've been approached by a lot of magazines, but I'm trying to take it slowly. In fact, I'm part of the first generation of photographers who don't have to depend on magazines because we have our own media and everyone sees our photos.

मुझे ऐसी फिल्में और टीवी शो पसंद नहीं आते जिन्हें देखकर लगे कि "चलो, मनोरंजन तो हो गया, लेकिन बाद में सोचो तो सब खोखला और बेमतलब लगता है।" मेरे लिए ऐसी चीजें जंक फूड जैसी हैं।

I don't like television and movies where it's like, "Well, that was entertaining, but when I think back on it, that didn't really make sense and it's empty." That's like junk food, to me.

हम अपने दर्शकों को बार-बार वही घिसी-पिटी सामग्री परोस कर उनका ही नुकसान कर रहे हैं। हर फिल्म या तो रीमेक है, या सीक्वल है, या फिर किसी अन्य चीज़ पर आधारित है। किसी पुराने टेलीविज़न शो पर आधारित। या फिर किसी सफल वीडियो गेम पर आधारित।

We are cannibalizing our audience by only giving them regurgitated material. Every movie is either a remake, a sequel, based on something else. Based on a former television series. Based on a successful videogame.

पाइनेटॉप में मैं बस संगीत की पढ़ाई करती थी, और ऐसा दिखने का कोई दबाव नहीं था कि मुझे कैसा दिखना चाहिए, इसलिए केवल गाना और गिटार बजाना ही काफी था। लेकिन जब मैं लॉस एंजिल्स आई, तो यहाँ एक पूरी छवि (इमेज) बनानी पड़ती है और सोशल मीडिया प्लेटफॉर्म्स की वजह से लोग इसे बहुत बढ़ावा देते हैं। और कई बार लोग मेरा कोई गाना सुनने से पहले मेरी तस्वीर देख लेते हैं। यह बहुत जरूरी है कि आप सब कुछ पहले से तय करके रखें ताकि आप वही दिखा सकें जो लोग देखना चाहते हैं।

At Pinetop I just studied music, and there was no pressure to look any certain way, and so being able to sing and play guitar was enough. But when I came out to L.A., there's a whole image that you put out there and people really feed off of that because of social media platforms. And sometimes someone will see a picture of me before they hear one of my songs. It's really important to have it all figured out so that you can portray what you want people to see.

मेरे जीवन में इतिहास का इतना महत्वपूर्ण होने का एक कारण यह है कि यह आपको इस बात से अवगत कराता है कि कुछ भी नया नहीं है। यह वर्तमान में हो रही घटनाओं को एक संदर्भ देता है। इतिहास चक्र की तरह घूमता रहता है, लेकिन परिस्थितियाँ और तकनीक बदल जाती हैं। इसलिए जब सामाजिक न्याय के मुद्दे उठते हैं, तो वे नए नहीं होते। बस उन्हें अब ज़्यादा कवर किया जाता है। अब हमारे पास इसे रिकॉर्ड करने के ज़्यादा साधन हैं।

Part of why history is so important in my life is because it brings you an awareness that everything isn't new. It gives context to what's happening right now. History is cyclical but circumstances and technology change. So when social justice topics come up, they're not new. They're just being covered more. We have more ways to record it now.
