बचपन में कुछ साल पियानो सीखने के अलावा, मेरा कोई बहुत ज़्यादा संगीत प्रशिक्षण नहीं रहा है। मैंने हाई स्कूल में सभी संगीत कार्यक्रमों (म्यूजिकल्स) के लिए पियानो बजाया और कुछ बैंड्स का हिस्सा भी रहा, लेकिन कॉलेज जाने तक मैंने कभी संगीत को एक व्यावहारिक करियर के रूप में नहीं सोचा था।

एक तरह से सवाल यह था कि प्रिंसटन रिव्यू में, एक पब्लिक कंपनी के सीईओ के तौर पर मैं कितना मूल्य योगदान दे रहा था। मैं उतना योगदान नहीं दे रहा था जितना शायद दूसरे लोग दे सकते थे... मुझे लगता है कि जब आप अपना बेहतरीन काम दे चुके हों और आपको यह महसूस होने लगे कि आगे चलकर आप उतना मूल्य नहीं जोड़ पाएँगे, तो आपको आगे बढ़ जाना चाहिए।

मुझे लगता है कि टी-मोबाइल (T-Mobile) में इस नौकरी ने बाकी हर चीज़ से ज़्यादा, रणनीति तय करने, बेहिसाब संवाद करने और फिर सामने से नेतृत्व करते हुए उसे पूरी लगन से आगे बढ़ाने के हुनर को समझने में मेरी मदद की है।

मैं बार में बैठने का शौकीन था, इसलिए काम करना, एक्टिंग करना, रिहर्सल करना और फिर जाकर किसी बार में बैठना, पीना और फिर घर जाना—यही मेरी जीवनशैली थी। और 70 के दशक में जब मैं फिल्मों में आने के लिए भाग्यशाली था, तो यहाँ ऐसा कुछ नहीं था, और उस समय मेरी जानकारी में कोई और फिल्मों में काम नहीं कर रहा था। फिल्मों में मेरे ज़्यादा दोस्त नहीं थे।

I was a barfly, so going to work and acting and rehearsing and then going and sitting in a bar and drinking and then going home was sort of my lifestyle.

मैं इस बात की खास कोशिश करता हूँ कि अलग-अलग शैलियों के संगीत पर काम करूँ; ऐसा नहीं कि मैं बस पोस्ट-रॉक बैंड्स, भारी म्यूज़िक वाले बैंड्स, या फिर सिर्फ फोक बैंड्स के साथ ही काम करता रहूँ। मैं बिल्कुल नहीं चाहता कि लोग मुझे एक ही तरह के म्यूज़िक तक सीमित मान लें, और सच कहूँ तो मैं इस बात से हमेशा बचना चाहता हूँ।

I definitely make an effort to work on different styles of music: not working on too many post-rock bands, or too many heavy bands, or too many folk bands, or just whatever. I have no desire to be known as somebody that just works on a single style of music and would rather avoid it, actually.

मुझे गाने लिखने से ज़्यादा म्यूज़िक प्रोड्यूस करना आता है, पर इससे इस सच्चाई पर कोई असर नहीं पड़ता कि आज भी मेरे अंदर गाने बजाने और लिखने की ललक ज़िंदा है। मैं कभी भी करियर के तौर पर म्यूज़िशियन नहीं बनना चाहता था, लेकिन मुझे आज भी म्यूज़िक बजाना और लिखना बहुत पसंद है। यह मेरे व्यक्तित्व का एक बहुत बड़ा हिस्सा है।

I'm better at producing than I am at being a songwriter, but it doesn't change the fact that I still have a desire to play and write songs. I've never wanted to be a career musician. But I still love to play and write. It's a big part of who I am.

मुझे लगता है कि 'वॉल स्ट्रीट 2' के दौरान मैंने जिस कंपनी से सबसे ज़्यादा सीखा, वो जॉन थॉमस फाइनेंशियल थी—खास तौर पर मेरे अपने किरदार और वो जिस तरह की फर्म में काम करता था, उसके संदर्भ में। वहाँ माहौल ऐसा था जैसे अखाड़े में योद्धा युद्ध के लिए तैयार हो रहे हों। थॉमस बेलेसिस इन लोगों में ऐसा जोश भर देते थे कि मानो कल हो ही न, और मैं उनके उस आशावाद, एड्रेनालाईन और "हम इसे कर दिखाएंगे, हम यह कर लेंगे, दोस्‍त" वाले रवैये का पूरी तरह से मु मुरीद हो गया था।

A company that was I think the one I learned the most from in Wall Street 2, just in terms of my own character in and the kind of firm he worked in, was John Thomas Financial.

एक पटकथा लेखक के रूप में आप वैश्यालय में तौलिए संभालने वाले लड़के की तरह होते हैं। मेरा मतलब है, आप खुद को खुशनसीब मान सकते हैं अगर आपको सेट पर बुला लिया जाए। यह कुछ ऐसा है जैसे - यह रहा ब्लूप्रिंट, जाओ और काम करो। और इस बात पर थोड़ी बहस भी होती रही है कि फिल्म निर्देशक की होनी चाहिए, पटकथा लेखक की या फिर दोनों की।

As a screenwriter you're the towel boy in the whorehouse. I mean you know you're lucky if you're invited to set. It's kind of like here is the blueprint, go and that's you know there has been some debate as to whether or not a film should be by the director or by the screenwriter or by both.

उन संबंधित उद्योगों को देखिए—गेम और फिल्मों के लिए कॉन्सेप्ट आर्ट, एनिमेशन। ऐसे कई क्षेत्र हैं जहाँ आप एक कलाकार के तौर पर अपनी कला को निखार सकते हैं और जब तक आपका बड़ा मौका नहीं आता, तब तक पैसे भी कमा सकते हैं। लेकिन अगर आप जिद्दी हैं और आपको हर हाल में कॉमिक्स ही बनानी हैं क्योंकि वही आपका सपना है (और मैं आपको इसके लिए दोषी नहीं मानता...) तो बेहतर होगा कि आपके पास कुछ बेहद खास हुनर हो।

Look at related industries. Concept art for games and film. Animation. Lots of places to hone your skill as an artist and still earn a paycheck while you're waiting to kick the door down.
