सफर में रहना बहुत थका देने वाला होता है क्योंकि इसमें बहुत सारा इंतज़ार करना पड़ता है और लगातार यात्रा करनी पड़ती है। यह वैसा बिल्कुल नहीं है जैसे आप किसी एक शहर में एक या दो हफ्ता रुकें और फिर दूसरे शहर जाएं। यह वाकई बहुत कठिन है। मुझे नहीं लगता कि लोग एक टूरिंग म्यूज़िशियन, एक टूर करने वाले एक्टर या किसी ऐसे इंसान की इस मुश्किल को समझ पाते हैं जो काम के सिलसिले में लगातार उड़ानों पर रहता है। यह अनुभव आपको अंदर से पूरी तरह उलझन में डाल देता है।

एक अभिनेता के रूप में, आपको शायद ही कभी ऐसा अनुभव होता है कि आप कोई स्क्रिप्ट हाथ में लें और उसके कुछ ही पन्ने पढ़ने के बाद आपको यह अहसास हो कि आपके हाथों में टीवी शो का सिर्फ एक रोल नहीं है, बल्कि यह उन खास किरदारों में से एक है जो करियर में एक या दो बार ही मिलते हैं। यदि आप भाग्यशाली हैं, तो आपको कुछ वाकई यादगार करने का और उस दुर्लभ शो का हिस्सा बनने का अवसर मिलता है जो उस खास श्रेणी में शामिल हो जाता है।

If you're lucky, you get an opportunity to do something really memorable and to be part of one of those rare shows that passes into that special category.

जब मैं गुडएनफ (Goodenough) कर रहा था, तो मैंने अपने ऑफिस में काम करने के लिए कुछ लोगों को काम पर रखा था, लेकिन फिर, 90 के दशक के अंत तक, मैंने फैसला किया कि यह वह काम नहीं है जो मुझे करना चाहिए। मैं एक बड़ी कंपनी नहीं बनाना चाहता था और बहुत सारे लोगों को काम पर रखना नहीं चाहता था। मुझे लगा कि मैं एक स्वतंत्र व्यक्ति या अकेले काम करने वाले के रूप में बेहतर हूँ। इसलिए मैंने सब कुछ समेटने और सिर्फ एक-दो सहायकों के साथ अकेले काम करने का फैसला किया। हालाँकि शायद उतनी संभावनाएँ न हों जितनी बड़ी कंपनी होने पर होती हैं, लेकिन यह मेरे लिए अच्छा है।

When I was doing Goodenough, I'd hired a few people to work in my office, but then, toward the end of the '90s, I decided that this is not what I should be doing.

So I made the decision to finish everything and work alone just with an assistant or two. Although maybe there isn't the potential that there is in having a bigger company, it's good for me.
