बेशक कई बार आपको इस बात का होश ही नहीं रहता कि आप कहाँ हैं, जब आप कोई शो खत्म करके 3 से 12 घंटे तक टूर बस में सफर करते हैं और किसी दूसरे शहर में जागकर होटल में चेक-इन करते हैं। तो, कुछ घंटे सोने के बाद मैं उठा, अपना सारा सामान पैक किया और उस दिन के शो के लिए बस की तरफ चल पड़ा। जब मैं रिसेप्शन पर पहुँचा तो हमारे प्रोडक्शन वाले ने मेरी तरफ देखकर कहा, "कहाँ जा रहे हो?"—वह छुट्टी का दिन था!

Of course you lose track of where you are sometimes, as you finish a show and ride in a tour bus from anywhere from 3 -12 hours and wake up in another city, and check into a hotel. So, I woke up after a few hours, packed all my stuff up and headed for the bus to depart for that day's show. I get to the lobby and our production person looked at me and said, "where are you headed?" - It was a day off!

कभी-कभी ऐसा लगता है कि जैसे हमने कल ही, या कुछ हफ़्ते पहले ही शुरुआत की हो; लेकिन पुरानी तस्वीरों को देखने और पुराने एल्बम सुनने पर साफ़ महसूस होता है कि क्लब के दिनों से लेकर आज तक हम काफी परिपक्व हो चुके हैं और लंबा सफर तय कर चुके हैं।

Every now and then it feels like it's just been a few days ago, a few weeks ago since we got started; but looking back through photographs and listening to the older albums and stuff, you can definitely feel some maturing and some distance in between the club days and where we are now

तस्वीरों की ही तरह, मुझे यह भी बहुत दिलचस्प लगता है कि भूत-प्रेत भी समय में जम चुकी यादों की तरह ही होते हैं। हम दोनों से ही उतने ही डरावने तरीके से भयभीत हो सकते हैं। एक तरह से, दोनों एक-दूसरे का रूपक बन जाते हैं।

Much like photographs, I also love the idea that ghosts are memories frozen in time. We can be haunted by both just as horrifically. One really becomes a metaphor for the other.

जब मैं कोई किताब खरीदने जाती हूँ, तो हमेशा यह पूछती हूँ कि क्या यह इस समय मेरे लिए सही है, क्या यह वह चीज़ है जिसकी मुझे अभी ज़रूरत है। मुझे लगता है कि बहुत से लोग सिर्फ इसलिए किताबें खरीदते हैं क्योंकि उन्हें पढ़ने का शौक होता है। वे उसे बहुत जल्दी-जल्दी पढ़ लेते हैं और फिर अगली किताब पर चले जाते हैं। मैं ऐसा नहीं करती।

When I go to buy a book, I always ask if it is right for me at this time, something I need right now. I think a lot of people go out and buy books because they love to read. They read it really fast and then move on to the next book. I don't do that.

फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी चीज़ों को हमेशा के लिए थामे रखती प्रतीत होती है, लेकिन यह हमारे छोटे जीवन द्वारा पैदा किया गया एक भ्रम मात्र है। एक तस्वीर तो बस एक ऐसा नोट है जिसे 200 साल के लिए थाम कर रखा गया हो।

Photography seems to fix, but this is an illusion created by our short lives. A photograph is merely a note held for 200 years.
