मुझे एक्टिंग करना बहुत पसंद है। मुझे लगता है कि यह दुनिया की सबसे बेहतरीन नौकरी है, लेकिन इसके साथ जुड़ा करियर मुझे उतना रास नहीं आता। अपनी ज़िंदगी या कहानी पर आपका उतना नियंत्रण नहीं रहता जितना कि, ज़ाहिर तौर पर, एक निर्देशक या निर्माता के तौर पर होता है, इसलिए भले ही मुझे एक्टिंग से प्यार है, लेकिन मैं अपनी आजीविका एक फिल्म निर्माता के रूप में चलाना पसंद करता हूँ, हाँ, एक्टिंग को लेकर मेरा नियम बस यह है कि अगर कोई मुझसे कोई भूमिका निभाने के लिए कहता है, तो मैं वह कर देता हूँ।

I love acting. I think that's the best job in the world, but I don't really enjoy the career of it so much. You don't have as much control over your life or the material as you do, well, certainly when you're a director or a producer, so while I love acting, I prefer to make my living as a filmmaker, but my rule on acting is if somebody asks me to do a part, I'll do it.

सबसे चुनौतीपूर्ण काम फिल्म निर्माण है। किसी प्रॉडक्शन को ज़मीन पर उतारना बेहद थका देने वाला काम होता है, और इस बात की कोई गारंटी नहीं होती कि किसी प्रोजेक्ट पर आपकी सालों की मेहनत कभी रंग लाएगी भी या नहीं।

नौकरी के लिहाज़ से अभिनय सबसे शुद्ध आनंद है, लेकिन अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता के मामले में यह सीमित हो सकता है। आप कभी भी कहानी के मालिक नहीं होते, बल्कि उसका सिर्फ एक हिस्सा होते हैं। लेकिन लिखना और निर्देशन करना आपको भगवान जैसी शक्ति देता है।

Acting is the most pure fun as far as jobs go, but it can be limiting in terms of freedom of expression. You are never the master of the story, just a part of it. But writing and directing give you the power of the gods.

अलग-अलग विधाओं के साथ मिलकर काम करने का सबसे बड़ा खतरा यह होता है कि काम का बँटवारा बहुत सख्त हो जाता है—मेरे मामले में, सिर्फ संगीत तक सीमित रह जाने का खतरा। जब मैं कोई एल्बम बनाता हूँ, तो मैं संगीत लिखता हूँ, बोल लिखता हूँ, उसका विज़ुअल डिज़ाइन तैयार करता हूँ, और भी बहुत कुछ करता हूँ। मुझे यह सब करने का मौका मिलता है।

मैंने कभी अपने करियर की कोई तयशुदा रूपरेखा नहीं बनाई। मुझे बस कई तरह की फिल्में पसंद हैं, मैं अलग-अलग प्रकार की फिल्में बनाना चाहता हूँ, और कुछ हद तक आप मौकों के पीछे चलते हैं तो कुछ हद तक आपको अपने मौके खुद बनाने पड़ते हैं।

मुझे कॉलेज के पहले दिन से ही पता था कि मैं एक शिक्षक बनना चाहता हूँ। लेकिन मुझे नहीं लगता कि मैंने उस समय खुद को एक प्रोफेसर के रूप में देखने की कल्पना की थी। मैं 1951 तक इतिहास का छात्र ही रहा।

इन्वेस्टिंग (निवेश) जैसे पेशे में, लोगों को लगता है कि 'काम' का मतलब सिर्फ खरीदना और बेचना है। काम से घर लौटकर अपने जीवनसाथी के इस सवाल का जवाब देना कि "आज तुमने क्या किया?" बहुत मुश्किल होता है—यह कहना कि "खैर, मैंने बहुत सारा पढ़ा, और थोड़ी सी बातचीत की।" अगर आप खरीद-बेच नहीं रहे हैं, तो आपको लग सकता है कि आप कुछ कर ही नहीं रहे हैं।

Humme se aksar log apni zindagi ke shuruati daur mein hi apne career mein itne ulajh jaate hain ki hum apni doosri ruchi, yani ki parallel activities ki talash nahi karte. Zaroorat ke tahat hum kamate hain, apna waqt lagate hain, apna resume banate hain, aur chahte hain ki hamara resume hamare kshetr ki maharat ko dikhaye kyunki aage chalkar humein usi kshetr mein doosri naukri ke liye aavedan karna padta hai. Isliye hum aksar in alag shaukon ko tab tak taal dete hain jab ya toh hum bahut safal ho kar itna waqt pa lete hain ya phir aksar retirement ke baad hi unhe waqt dete hain।

We should probably start searching around a little earlier in our lives for what I call parallel activities, because most of us get entrenched in our careers. And, of necessity, we're earning a living, and it's taking our time, and we're building our résumé, and we want our résumé generally to be our proficiency within our field, because chances are we're going to be applying for another position within the field. So we tend to put off a lot of this sort of what I call parallel discovery until we're either very successful and have the time to do that, or more often until we're retired.

मेरे शुरुआती दिन गिटार बजाने, गाने लिखने और संगीत तैयार करने में ही बीते। 90 के दशक की शुरुआत में मेरी पूर्व पत्नी, मेरीलता एल्टन को ड्रीमवर्क्स (DreamWorks) के म्यूजिक डिपार्टमेंट की कमान संभालने का मौका मिला। उन्होंने 'प्रिंस ऑफ इजिप्ट', 'शrek', 'चिकन रन', 'ग्लाडिएटर' जैसी बेहतरीन फिल्मों के सुनहरे दौर में सीधे हंस जिमर के साथ काम किया। वह तब भी एक बेहतरीन म्यूजिक एग्जीक्यूटिव थीं, आज भी हैं और उनका अपना एक शानदार करियर रहा है।

She was and still is, one of the great music executives and has quite a career path of her own.
