जब मैं बहुत छोटा था, तो खुद से कहता था कि मैं एक दिन 32 साल का होकर भी रिकॉर्ड्स नहीं बजाऊंगा। ऐसा तो बिल्कुल नहीं होगा। खैर, किस्मत का मज़ाक देखिए, मैं अब 56 साल का हूँ।

I used to tell myself when I was much younger that I didn't want to wake up one day and be 32 years old and still playing records. It's just not going to happen. Well, the joke is on me, because I'm 56 years old now.

मुझे अतीत के बारे में सोचना ज़्यादा पसंद नहीं है। सच तो बस एक और कहानी है। आप उसे अपनी मर्ज़ी से याद रख सकते हैं; वह कभी भी दो बार एक जैसी नहीं होगी।

I don't care too much for thinking about the past. The truth is just another story. You can remember it any way you want; it's never gonna be the same twice.

कुछ कलाकार पूरी ज़िंदगी यह समझे बिना ही गुज़ार देते हैं कि उन्हें आज खुश रहना है। वे हमेशा अगले काम या अगली चीज़ के बारे में सोचते रहते हैं: "मुझे यह मिल जाए, फिर मैं खुश हो जाऊँगा।" और इस चक्कर में वे दुखी रहते हैं।

नींद खुलते ही तुरंत बिस्तर छोड़ दें; क्योंकि लेट कर पढ़ना आँखों के लिए और बेकार बैठे रहना मन के लिए बेहद हानिकारक है, क्योंकि उस आलस्य के वक्त इंसान का दिमाग अक्सर बुरे और गंदे ख्यालों का अड्डा बन जाता है।

देखिए, स्वर्ग कोई ऐसी जगह नहीं है जहाँ हम मरने के बाद जाते हैं। वह ज़िंदगी का वही एक पल होता है जब आप वाकई खुद को ज़िंदा महसूस करते हैं, और समय के अंत तक हम उसी पल की यादों का पीछा करते रहते हैं, यह उम्मीद करते हुए कि भविष्य में भूतकाल से कुछ बेहतर छिपा होगा।

meri poori yatra anubhavon se bhari rahi hai, maine kabhi ladne ke liye koi lakshy tay nahi kiya; mera maksad toh bas safar aur uske maze lena raha hai. jab aap apne antim samay par honge, toh wahi kisse aur chote-mote anubhav honge jo aapko yaad rahenge. manzil par pahunchna utna zaroori nahi hai, jitna ki wahan tak pahunchne ka safar.

तस्वीर क्या है? मेरे लिए, यह पारे का एक टुकड़ा है, एक स्पष्ट सपना है, अवचेतन मन से लिखा गया एक ऐसा नोट है जिसे शायद सालों बाद डिकोड किया जाए। यह एक ऐसा एकाग्र भाषण है जो बातचीत बनने की कोशिश कर रहा है, एक भेंट है, एक सफाई है, एक सलाम है।

What is a photograph? For me, a fragment of quick-silver, a lucid dream, a scribbled note from the subconscious to be deciphered, perhaps, over years. It is a monologue trying to become a conversation, an offering, an alibi, a salute.
