डीसी के बाकी सभी संपादकों ने कभी मुझे एक पल का भी समय नहीं दिया। वे बस मेरा काम लेते, मुझे चेक थमा देते और कहते, 'दो हफ्ते बाद मिलते हैं।' उन्होंने कभी किसी भी तरह का उत्साहवर्धन नहीं किया और न ही कोई सीख दी। वे आपस में एक-दूसरे के प्रति बहुत प्रतिस्पर्धी थे। वे किसी कलाकार को सिखाकर उसे किसी दूसरे संपादक के हाथों खोना नहीं चाहते थे।

All the other editors at DC never gave me a moment's time. They would take the thing and give me a check and say, 'I'll see you in two weeks.'

यह अजीब है क्योंकि जब मैं छोटा था, तो मुझे साइंस फिक्शन और फंतासी का बहुत शौक था। और जब मैंने पहली बार पटकथा लिखनी शुरू की, तो आखिरकार मैं ऐतिहासिक ड्रामा और नॉन-फिक्शन आधारित चीजें ही लिखने लगा, जैसे 'बैंड ऑफ ब्रदर्स' और वैसी चीजें जो बन नहीं पाईं, पर थीं वे भी नॉन-फिक्शन ही।

अमेरिका के साथ बात यह है कि... आप चाहे उन्हें उथला या कुछ और कहकर उनकी जितनी भी आलोचना कर लें, लेकिन अगर कोई फिल्म उन्हें पसंद आती है और उन्हें लगता है कि वह बढ़िया ढंग से लिखी और बनाई गई है और लोकप्रिय है, तो वे वाकई उन लोगों के साथ काम करना चाहते हैं और उनके रास्ते पर चलना चाहते हैं, जबकि यूके से मेरे पास कुछ भी नहीं आया है... बिल्कुल कुछ नहीं। अब यह बात आज के फिल्म उद्योग की हालत को बयां करती है या नहीं, यह तो मैं नहीं जानता। लेकिन यह अजीब ज़रूर है।

Whether that sums up the state of the industry now, I don't know. But it's strange.

Utilitarianism had found [in Samuel Smiles' Self-Help] its portrait gallery of heroes, inscribed with a vigorous exhortation to all men to strive in their image; this philistine romanticism established the bourgeois hero-prototype the penniless office-boy who works his way to economic fortune and this wins his way into the mercantile plutocracy.

I was tired of doing collections, tired of doing runway shows... there was just so much wasted time and energy doing all the runway product and all the filler product.

मेरे लिए रंगीन फोटोग्राफी (कलर फोटोग्राफी) में काम करना करियर तबाह करने जैसा था, लेकिन मैंने ऐसा इसलिए किया क्योंकि शुरुआत से ही मेरा झुकाव मौसम के बदलने और ऋतुओं के चक्र की तरफ था—यही वह चीज़ थी जिससे मुझे सबसे ज़्यादा प्यार था।

यह समस्या (ऐतिहासिक अवसरों की कमी) तब और गंभीर हो जाती है जब बड़े प्रोजेक्ट्स करने या स्टूडियो प्रमुख से जान-पहचान बनाने का मौका पाने के लिए अनुभव हासिल करने वाले लोगों की कतार ही छोटी रह जाती है, जिससे वे अपनी काबिलियत साबित कर सकें—या शायद कोई छोटी फिल्म निर्देशित कर सकें। इस स्थिति को सुधारने में काफी समय लगेगा। यह बहुत मुश्किल है क्योंकि इसकी शुरुआत ही ऊपर से होती है।

दुनिया भर में माता-पिता के काम करने के तौर-तरीकों में भारी बदलाव आया है—और यह बात हर क्षेत्र पर लागू होती है। खासकर पुरुषों ने खेती-बारी से दूरी बनाकर औद्योगिक और उत्तर-औद्योगिक नौकरियों का रुख किया है, यानी वे अपने घरों से दूर काम करने लगे हैं। इसी तरह, महिलाएं भी घर के कामकाज से निकलकर वेतन पाने वाले कार्यबल का हिस्सा बन चुकी हैं।

Parents' work has shifted markedly around the world - and that goes for every region. Men in particular have been moving away from farmed-based work, and into industrial and post-industrial work - so they've moved away from the home.
