Experience Quotes

जब मैं युवा था, तो लगातार दीवारों को पढ़ा करता था; दीवारों पर लिखी हर एक चीज़ को खुद में उतार लेता था, प्यार के संदेशों से लेकर राजनीतिक नारों तक। यह मेरा शौक था जो बाद में मेरी कला बन गया।

When I was young I was constantly reading walls; I took in everything written on walls, from love messages to political messages. It was my hobby and became my art.

मैंने कई साल तक कमर्शियल किचन में लाइन कुक के रूप में खाना पकाया है।

I spent several years cooking on a line.

अगर आप कोलंबियाई होते, तो एम्पनाडा का आपका अपना रूप होता। अगर आप अर्जेंटीना से हैं, तो शायद आपको ऐसी पेस्ट्री मिलेगी जो बेक की गई हो और जिस पर मक्खन की चमक हो। और फिर इक्वाडोर में, आपको ज़्यादा कुरकुरी तली हुई एम्पनाडस मिलेंगी। तो हाँ, हर संस्कृति की अपनी एम्पनाडा होती है।

If you were a Colombian, you would have your version of an empanada. If you are an Argentinean, you might find a dough that's baked and has a butter sheen on it. And then in Ecuador, you'll find more crispy-fried empanadas. So, yeah, every culture has their own version of empanadas.

इसके बाद एक और अधिक प्रायोगिक एल्बम आया, जो 'ब्लैक मैजिक' और 'व्हाइल यू वर स्लीपिंग' जैसा था। फिर जैज़ में वापसी हुई, 'फॉर ऑल वी नो' और 'यस्टरडे आई सैंग द ब्लूज़'। यह कोई पहले से नियोजित योजना नहीं थी, जब मैंने अपने एल्बमों की सूची बनाई तब मुझे इसका अहसास हुआ। जैसे, अरे वाह, मैंने तो बिल्कुल वैसा ही किया है जो मैंने पहले किया था।

There's a more experimental album that follows that, which is like Black Magic and While You Were Sleeping. Then there's a return to jazz, For All We Know and Yesterday I Sang The Blues. It wasn't like a planned thing, I just kind of realized it when I made a list of my albums. Like, oh wow, this is exactly what I did before.

मैंने वास्तव में बिली हॉलिडे के गाए हुए उन गानों और उनके गाने के अंदाज़ से बहुत प्रेरणा ली। यह उनके करियर का एक ऐसा खूबसूरत दौर था, जहाँ उनकी आवाज़ अभी भी पूरी तरह सलामत थी। उनमें वो गहरी समझदारी थी जिसके लिए हम उन्हें आज भी याद करते हैं। मेरे लिए, वह उनके हुनर का सबसे बेहतरीन दौर था।

I really pulled from that repertoire that Billie Holiday was singing, and the way she sang it. It's sort of this beautiful, not really midpoint, but a period of her career where she really still had her voice. She had that deep wisdom that we've come to associate her with. To me, that's her at the height of her powers.

मैं आजकल बहुत ड्रेक और फ्रैंक सिनात्रा सुन रहा हूँ, सिर्फ इसलिए क्योंकि उनकी जन्मशती भी है। इस साल मैं उन्हें कुछ श्रद्धांजलि देने वाला हूँ। मुझे बेक का वह एल्बम बहुत पसंद आया। मेरे लिए यह मज़ेदार बात थी कि साल के मेरे दो सबसे पसंदीदा एल्बम बियॉन्से और बेक के ही थे।

I'm listening to a lot of Drake, and a lot of Frank Sinatra just because it's his centennial also. I'm going to be doing some tributes to him this year. I love that Beck album. It was funny to me because my two favorite albums of the year were definitely the Beyonce album and the Beck album.

चिको हैमिल्टन ने मुझसे कहा था, "जैज़ में पहला टेक (प्रयास) बहुत ज़रूरी होता है क्योंकि असली भावना वहीं होती है।" वह जो कुछ भी हो रहा है उस पर आपकी सच्ची प्रतिक्रिया होती है, और उसके बाद जो कुछ भी होता है, उसमें आपका दिमाग शामिल हो जाता है क्योंकि आपके पास तुलना करने के लिए कुछ आधार होता है।

Chico Hamilton told me, "The first take is important in jazz because that's where the real emotion is." That's your true response to what's happening, and everything else after that, your brain is involved because you have something to reference.

एक अभिनेता के रूप में, आप अपने किरदार की कहानी की शुरुआत और अंत नहीं जानना चाहते। इससे काम में और मज़ा आता है। आप अंत को ध्यान में रखकर अभिनय नहीं कर रहे होते। आप उसे वास्तविक रूप से जी रहे होते हैं। आपको नहीं पता होता कि यह किरदार कहाँ जाने वाला है और इसके साथ क्या होने वाला है, जो दर्शकों के लिए इसे देखने में और भी दिलचस्प बना देता है। वे अभिनेता और किरदार दोनों के साथ इस सफर पर आगे बढ़ रहे होते हैं।

As an actor, you don't want to know the beginning and end to your character's arc. It makes it more fun. You're not playing the end. You're playing it realistically. You don't know where this character is going to go and what's going to happen to him, which just makes it more interesting for the viewers to watch. They're going on the journey with you, as the actor and the character.

मैं ग्यारह वर्ष की आयु से काम कर रहा हूँ, और इसे मैं अपना सौभाग्य मानता हूँ। मुझे लगता है कि हॉरर एक कम आंकी गई विधा है। जब इसे 'द रूइन्स' जैसी फिल्मों की तरह बहुत बेहतरीन ढंग से बनाया जाता है, तो यह सत्तर के दशक की मेरी कुछ पसंदीदा चीज़ों को श्रद्धांजलि देता है और उस ऊर्जा को फिर से जगाता है जिसे दर्शक वाकई पर्दे पर देखना चाहते हैं।

I have been blessed to have been working since I was 11. I think horror is an underrated genre. When done really well like in 'The Ruins', it pays homage to some of the stuff I really love in the '70s and incurs some of that energy the fanbase really wants to see.

फ्रांस में रहने का मतलब है कि मैं यूके (ब्रिटेन) को टुकड़ों या झलकियों में देखता हूँ। परदेश में रहने की एक खास खूबसूरती होती है, और जिन चीज़ों को आप याद रखते हैं, वे अक्सर सबसे जीवंत और स्पष्ट यादें होती हैं। जब आप किसी जगह को रोज़ देखते हैं, तो वह बात नहीं रहती।

Living in France means I see the UK in snapshots. There is something quite nice about being in exile and the things you remember about places tend to be the most vivid details. You don't get that when you see somewhere every day.

कला समीक्षक बनने के लिए पढ़ाई करने का विचार एक बेहद अजीब विचार है। मैंने सार्वजनिक रूप से खुद को शिक्षित किया, जो सीखने का एक बहुत ही दर्दनाक तरीका है—लिखना और फिर यह महसूस करना कि मुझे इस बात का कोई अता-पता नहीं है कि मैं बकवास क्या लिख रहा हूँ। लेकिन इस तरह सीखे गए सबक आपको हमेशा के लिए याद रहते हैं।

The idea of going to school to be an art critic is a very crazy idea. I educated myself in public, which is a very painful way to learn - by writing and then discovering that I don't know what the f**k I'm talking about. But you remember the lessons vividly.

अब मुझे रिकॉर्डिंग स्टूडियो में पहली बार कदम रखने पर वैसा रोमांच महसूस नहीं होता। अब यह सिर्फ एक औजार या साधन की तरह लगता है।

I don't feel [the] excitement you have when you first walk into a recording studio. It now feels like a tool.

मैं वास्तव में अपनी तरफ से पूरी कोशिश करना चाहता हूँ कि किसी रिकॉर्ड के साथ लोगों के पहले अनुभव की रक्षा कर सकूँ। क्योंकि मैं चाहता हूँ कि आपको पूरी चीज़ एक जुड़ी हुई इकाई के रूप में मिले, ऐसा नहीं है कि मैं पीछे संगीत बजाकर कहानियाँ सुना रहा हूँ।

I really want to try to protect as much as I can, to safeguard peoples' first experience with a record. Because I want you to get the whole thing as one integrated piece, because it's not like I'm narrating stories with music behind them.

एक तरफ चुपचाप बैठकर पियानो बजाना और इर्द-गिर्द थिरकना, और इसके विपरीत मंच के आगे खड़े होकर गाना—इन दोनों अनुभवों का अहसास बिल्कुल अलग होता है।

It's a very different feeling just sitting around the side, playing piano, and dancing around as opposed to standing in front and singing.

2008 के हमारे सबसे पसंदीदा कार्यक्रमों में से एक 'स्लोट्रेन' स्टोर में हुआ हमारा शो था। हमने सीधे सैन फ्रांसिस्को से गाड़ी चलाई, स्टोर के पिछले हिस्से में जाकर अपनी गाड़ी रोकी, अपना पूरा साजो-सामान अंदर खींचा और अपनी नई एल्बम 'रुक' को शुरुआत से अंत तक बजाया—और उन्होंने हमें ऐसा करने दिया।

One of our very favorite shows of 2008 was our Slowtrain instore. We drove straight from San Francisco, pulled up to the back of the store, dragged our entire setup inside and played our new album, Rook, start-to-finish - and they let us get away with it.

जब आप किसी जगह के बारे में लिखने का मन बना लेते हैं, तो वह जगह बिना लिखे रहने की तुलना में कहीं अधिक दिलचस्प हो जाती है; क्योंकि तब आप उससे उस तरह से जुड़ते हैं जैसे आप तब नहीं जुड़ते जब आप बस वहाँ से गुजर रहे होते, या सेंट हेलेन्स परिवार से मिलने जा रहे होते, या फिर वह जगह आपको इसलिए बुरी लगती क्योंकि आप हमेशा से वहाँ से भागना चाहते थे।

If you're going to write about something it becomes a damn sight more interesting than if you're not going to write about it, because you engage with it actively in a way that you wouldn't if you were just passing through or if you were going to St Helens to visit family or if it was a place that made you resentful because you'd always wanted to escape from there.

मुझे फिल्में पसंद हैं, अलग-अलग किरदार निभाना, विभिन्न कलाकारों के साथ काम करना और अलग-अलग जगहों पर शूटिंग करना अच्छा लगता है। मुझे फिल्में इसलिए पसंद हैं क्योंकि यह कला का एक अनूठा संगम है—इसमें तस्वीरें हैं, कहानी है, संगीत है—यह कला के हर रूप का एक खूबसूरत मेल है। यह वाकई बहुत शानदार है।

I like films, I like movies, I like playing different characters and working with different actors, and filming in different places. I like movies, because it's kind of a combination of every art, it's like it's picture, it's story, it's music, it's kind of like a clash and a collide of every art. It's really neat.

आपको तो पता ही है कि कॉलेज के दिनों में मैंने भले ही कोई एक डिग्री पूरी नहीं की, लेकिन कंप्यूटर साइंस और इंग्लिश मेरे दो मुख्य विषय (डबल-मेजर) थे। बर्कले (Berkeley) में, जहाँ से मैंने पढ़ाई की, वहाँ अंग्रेजी साहित्य की शिक्षा काफी हद तक रचनात्मक सोच पर आधारित थी। सीधे शब्दों कहें तो, अंग्रेजी में ग्रेजुएशन करने का मतलब सिर्फ और सिर्फ लंबी-चौड़ी हाँफना (फेंकना) सीखना है। और मेरा दूसरा विषय कंप्यूटर साइंस इसके बिल्कुल विपरीत था। उसमें आपको पता होना चाहिए था कि आप क्या कर रहे हैं, और आप किस बारे में बात कर रहे हैं।

You know, in college, I never got either degree, but I was a double-major in Computer Science and English. And English at Berkeley, where I went to school, is very much creatively-driven. Basically, the entire bachelor's degree in English is all about bullshitting. And Computer Science, which was my other major, was exactly the opposite of that. You had to know what you were doing, and you had to know what you were talking about.

कहानी को प्रामाणिक बनाने के लिए इतिहास (यानी गैर-फिक्शन) का साथ होना जरूरी है; लेकिन अगर इतिहास की मात्रा बहुत ज्यादा हो जाए, तो दोनों विधाएं आपस में टकराने लगती हैं।

History - the non-fiction version - must inform the fiction to make it truthful; too much of it and your genres are colliding.

मुझे उम्मीद है कि कभी न कभी मैं अपनी मौजूदा परिस्थितियों पर भी कोई उपन्यास लिख पाऊंगा। मेरे पास सुनाने के लिए कुछ बेहतरीन कहानियां हैं।

I hope I will get to novelize my present circumstances at some point. I have some great stories to tell.
