हम सबकी उम्मीद यही होती है कि फोटोग्राफ किसी न किसी चीज़ की तस्वीर हो। हम यह मानकर चलते हैं कि फोटोग्राफर ने दुनिया में किसी जगह, किसी शख्स या किसी घटना को देखा होगा और वह उसे कैमरे में कैद करना चाहता है, उसकी ओर इशारा करना चाहता है... मेरी कला में समस्या यही है कि इस अर्थ में ये तस्वीरें किसी खास चीज़ की नहीं होतीं, वे तो बस उस चीज़ कोदर्ज करती हैं जो उस मुख्य विषय के इर्द-गिर्द या बिल्कुल किनारे पर होती है।

We all expect photographs to be a picture of something. We assume that the photographer observed a place, a person, an event in the world, and wants to record it, point at it…The problem with my work is that these images are really not of anything in that sense, they register only that which is incidental and peripheral to the implied it.

मेरी दिलचस्पी कभी ऐसी तस्वीर बनाने में नहीं रही जो यह बताए कि जिस दुनिया में मैं रहता हूँ वह कैसी दिखती है, बल्कि मैं इस बात में रुचि रखता हूँ कि (दुनिया की) तस्वीरें खुद कैसी दिखती हैं।

I have never been interested in making a photograph that describes what the world I live in looks like, but I am interested in what pictures (of the world) look like.

मैंने कभी किसी ऐसे डोपिंग करने वाले खिलाड़ी को नहीं सुना जिसने कहा हो कि उसे ऐसा करके अच्छा लगा। एक ने भी नहीं। कुछ खिलाड़ी यह कहकर अपने काम को सही ठहराते हैं कि इससे उन्हें एक बड़ा घर या बेहतर गाड़ी खरीदने में मदद मिली। लेकिन वे कभी भी असल मायनों में खुश नहीं होते। वे जानते हैं कि वे असली विजेता नहीं हैं।

मुझे लगता है कि एक कलाकार की सबसे पहली ज़िम्मेदारी सच्चाई के मार्ग पर चलना है, और उन जन्मजात व मौलिक ऊर्जाओं का पालन करना है जो उसके भीतर मौजूद हैं। साथ ही, मुझे यह भी लगता है कि सामूहिक रूप से, कलाकारों के लिए एक ऐसा मंच होना चाहिए जहाँ वे उस समाज को दर्शा सकें और उसका सामना कर सकें जिसमें वे जी रहे हैं। मुझे लगता है कि महान कला अनजाने में ही बाहरी दुनिया में मौजूद ड्रामे, आघात और संघर्षों को ज़रूर दर्शाती है।

I think that the first responsibility of an artist is to follow truth, and the innate original forces and energies that are within them. At the same time, I also think, collectively, that there has to be a place for artists to reflect and deal with the society they're living in. I think that great art inevitably reflects some of the drama and trauma and conflicts that exist in the outer world.

और आप जानते हैं, चाहे वह ड्रामा हो या कॉमेडी, सबसे बेहतरीन काम सच्चाई पर आधारित होते हैं। बस फर्क यह है कि कॉमेडी में स्थितियाँ बहुत ज्यादा बढ़ा-चढ़ाकर पेश की जाती हैं और आपके सामने अजीब-अजीब चीजें आ जाती हैं। लेकिन फिर भी आपको उन्हें सच्चाई के साथ निभाना होता है, क्योंकि असल हास्य वहीं से पैदा होता है। इसलिए विधा बदलना (क्रॉसओवर करना) इतना भी मुश्किल नहीं है।

सरकार ने अपनी शर्तों पर, उदाहरण के लिए, बैकपैकर टैक्स से होने वाली आय को तो सुरक्षित रख लिया। लेकिन वे बैकपैकर टैक्स के साथ एक समीक्षा प्रक्रिया भी जोड़ना चाहते थे। सरकार इस विधेयक के जरिए अब यह कह रही है कि लेबर पार्टी के पैकेज का हिस्सा रही किसी भी प्रक्रिया, किसी भी ब्योरे और किसी भी पुनर्निवेश को हमें नजरअंदाज कर देना चाहिए और हमें सिर्फ इसके कटौती वाले हिस्से को ही स्वीकार करना चाहिए।
