एक तरह से मुझे लगता है कि आखिरकार सच साबित हो गया है क्योंकि मैंने कुछ गलत किया ही नहीं था। समीक्षा समिति ने मेरी बात बहुत ध्यान से सुनी और मैंने भी अपना पक्ष उनके सामने पूरी तरह रखा।

In a way I feel I have been vindicated because I hadn't done anything wrong. The Review Committee gave me a patient hearing and I put my point of view across to them.

कुछ भी पूरी तरह से तय नहीं होता, यहाँ तक कि जो इंसान वहाँ मौजूद था, वह भी इस बात को लेकर पूरी तरह आश्वस्त नहीं हो सकता कि उस पल उसकी प्रतिक्रिया दूसरे जैसी ही थी। हो सकता है कि एक इंसान पूरी तरह फिदा हो गया हो, जबकि दूसरा यह सोच रहा हो कि रात के खाने में क्या खाया जाए और अनजाने में ही उसकी नज़रें मिल गई हों।

Nothing is known for sure, even the person who was there isn't entirely sure he or she had the same response as the other in that moment. One person might have fallen head over heels, the other might have been thinking about what to have for dinner and inadvertently making eye contact.

अगर यह फिल्म किसी जोड़े या कामुकता के बारे में है, तो मेरे लिए किसी दृश्य में नग्न होना या प्यार करना भी बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है। यह सोचना एक तरह का पाखंड है कि इसे फिल्म में नहीं दिखाया जाना चाहिए।

To be naked or even making love in a scene to me is very important if this is a movie about a couple or sensuality. It's a sort of moralism to think that this shouldn't be seen in the film.

मुझे लगता है कि हम चीजों को अलग-अलग खानों में बांटना चाहते हैं—यह सोचते हुए कि, 'अच्छा, वह भावुक, कलात्मक और आत्मनिष्ठ है, जबकि यह बौद्धिक, वस्तुनिष्ठ और नपा-तुला है।' मुझे यह मानने में मुश्किल होती है कि हम दुनिया को इसी तरह महसूस करते हैं।

मेरे लिए, यह कल्पना के भीतर एक और कल्पना तलाशने का एक तरीका है। उस "झूठ" के भीतर छिपी उस गलती को बेनकाब करने का एक तरीका ढूँढना है, क्योंकि जब आप करीब से देखते हैं, तो हर "झूठ"—और मैं इसे उद्धरण चिह्नों के साथ कह रहा हूँ—कहीं अधिक जटिल हो सकता है। क्योंकि फिक्शन यही तो है: यह शायद दुनिया की सबसे कम महत्वपूर्ण चीज़ है। यह समृद्ध है, लेकिन यह बनावटी है, समय बिताने का एक साधन है। यह दुनिया से उधार लेता है, लेकिन इसे खुद नहीं रचता।

For me, it's a way to find a fiction within a fiction. To find a way to uncover that blunder within the "lie," because when you look closer, every "lie" - and I say that with quotation marks - can be much more complicated. Because that is what fiction is: it's probably the least important thing in the world. It's rich, but it is put-on, it passes the time. It borrows from the world, but it does not invent it.

एक बार जब किताब छप कर आ जाती है और उसमें कोई बदलाव नहीं किया जा सकता, तो उसके बाद के सभी सवालों का सामना करना आपको लगातार अपनी राय देने के लिए मजबूर करता है—इस मामले में, संवेदनशील और चुनौतीपूर्ण विषयों पर—जबकि ईमानदारी, समझदारी और मददगार तरीके से अपनी बात समझाने के लिए आपको जितनी विशेषज्ञता की ज़रूरत होती है, असल में आपके पास उसकी आधी ही विशेषज्ञता होती है।
