जब आप कोई फिल्म देख रहे होते हैं, तो मैं पाता हूँ कि दो में से एक बात होती है। या तो आप फिल्म देखते हैं और वह इतनी अच्छी होती है कि आप सोचते हैं, "मैं ऐसा क्यों नहीं कर सकता?" या फिर आप ऐसी फिल्म देखते हैं जो अच्छी नहीं होती, और आप सोचते हैं, "मैं यह काम क्यों कर रहा हूँ?" इसलिए किसी भी तरह से, यह काम करने जैसा ही लगता है।

When you're watching, I find two things happen. You either watch a film and it's really good and then you think, "Why can't I do that?" Or you watch a film and it's not good, and you think, "Why am I doing this?" So either way, it feels like being at work.

जब आप किसी ऐसे गेम पर काम कर रहे होते हैं जिसका बजट करोड़ों डॉलर का होता है और लागत निकालने के लिए जिसकी करोड़ों प्रतियां बिकना जरूरी होता है, तब आपके और दर्शकों के बीच कई स्तर आ जाते हैं। आपके पास एक मार्केटिंग विभाग होता है, हर महाद्वीप के लिए एक अलग मार्केटिंग विभाग होता है, मूल कंपनी के शेयरधारक होते हैं, और न जाने क्या-क्या।

When you're working on a game that has a budget of tens of millions of dollars and you have to sell millions and millions and millions of copies to break even, you have a lot more layers between you and the audience.

मुझे लगता है कि छोटे पैमाने पर काम करने और एक छोटी कंपनी होने का सबसे बड़ा फायदा यह है कि आपको लागत निकालने के लिए बहुत ज़्यादा दबाव में नहीं रहना पड़ता। ऐसे में आपको इस बात की फ़िक्र नहीं करनी पड़ती कि समीक्षक क्या कहेंगे—भले ही वे लोगों को इसे खरीदने की सलाह दें, लेकिन लाखों लोग यह कह सकते हैं, "अरे, मुझे इस विषय में कोई दिलचस्पी नहीं है," और हम डूब जाएंगे।

एक पेंटर के रूप में मेरा जीवन मेरे शिक्षण कार्य और सीसीसी (CCA) के अध्यक्ष के रूप में मेरी ज़िम्मेदारियों को प्रभावित करता है—और मुझे उम्मीद है कि एक रोमांचक आर्ट स्कूल में काम करने का मेरा कुछ अनुभव मेरे स्टूडियो के काम में भी झलकेगा। मेरा मानना है कि ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा कलाकार कई ज़िम्मेदारियों को एक साथ संभालने में माहिर होते हैं—चाहे वह काम हो, पढ़ाना हो, परिवार के सदस्यों की देखरेख करना हो या रिश्तों को निभाना हो—और यह सब वे अपने स्टूडियो के प्रति समर्पण के साथ करते हैं।

My life as a painter influences my teaching and my duties as president of CCA - and I hope some of the experience of working at an exciting art school also spills over into my studio work.

मैं कभी न कभी किसी टीवी सीरीज़ में काम करना पसंद करूँगा, लेकिन मेरा मानना है कि आपको वही काम मिलते हैं जिन्हें पाने के लिए आप बने हैं। अगर मेरे हिस्से का काम कोई दूसरा म्यूजिकल, कोई दूसरा नाटक, फिल्म या टीवी शो है, तो मैं बस काम करते रहने से खुश हूँ।

मैکلারেন میں یہاں کی سہولیات لاجواب ہیں۔ اگر آپ ان کا موازنہ سابَر سے کریں، جن کی فارمولا ون میں اچھی سہولیات ہیں، تو یہ بالکل الگ سطح کی بات ہے۔ لیکن جہاں تک لوگوں کا تعلق ہے، ان کے کام کرنے کا انداز ہے، جب آپ میکلارেন آتے ہیں تو وہ واقعی حیرت انگیز لگتا ہے۔ ان کا زور بہت زبردست چیزوں پر ہوتا ہے اور جب آپ اس ٹیم کے لیے گاڑی چلاتے ہیں تو یہ آپ کو ایک بہت بڑا حوصلہ دیتا ہے۔
