Experience Quotes

मैं यह नहीं कह रहा कि बहुत बड़ी हॉलीवुड फिल्में बनाना गलत है, लेकिन उसका एहसास और उससे मिलने वाली खुशी एक अलग ही किस्म की होती है।

I'm not saying that it's wrong to make huge Hollywood films but it's just a different kind of feeling, a different sort of pleasure.

टेस्ट स्क्रीनिंग के दौरान दर्शकों की प्रतिक्रियाओं से आपको अपनी फिल्म के बारे में काफी कुछ सीखने को मिलता है। चाहे वह कॉमेडी फिल्में हों या सस्पेंस से भरी फिल्में, आपको फिल्म को परखना होता है और देखना होता है कि दर्शक उस पर कैसी प्रतिक्रिया दे रहे हैं।

You learn quite a bit about your film from test screening audiences. With both comedies and movies that are intense, you need to calibrate the film and see how audiences react.

जब मुझे नींद नहीं आती, तो मैं सोचने लगता हूँ कि मैंने कितने शोज़ किए हैं, अपने किए गए टेलीविज़न शोज़ और फिल्मों की गिनती करने लगता हूँ।

यह जानने के कई तरीके हैं कि कोई रेस्तरां अच्छा है या नहीं: सिर्फ उसका रूप-रंग आपको कई दृश्य संकेत दे सकता है: क्या उसका रखरखाव अच्छा है? क्या सजावट बेहद लापरवाही से की गई है या ऐसा लगता है कि किसी ने उस पर मेहनत की है? वहाँ के कर्मचारी—क्या वे नाखुश लगते हैं या जो परोस रहे हैं उस पर गर्व महसूस करते हैं। इससे भी बेहतर यह है कि जब आप किसी जगह पर कदम रखें, तो वहाँ के खाने को देख सकें।

There are a number of ways you can find out if a restaurant is good or not: just the way it looks can give you all these visual clues: is it well maintained? Is the décor slapdash or does it look like someone put some effort into it? The employees - do they look disgruntled or proud to be serving what they're serving. Even better, when you walk into a place you can look at the food.

यदि आप भोजन के समय, यानी जब आपको भूख लगी हो, बाहर निकलते हैं, तो आप खाने की तलाश में बेचैन हो जाते हैं और आपके मन में पाने और दूर भागने (approaching and avoiding) की कशिश चलती है। आप किसी जगह पर जाते हैं, वहाँ की महक लेते हैं, अगर महक अच्छी नहीं लगती तो आप अगली जगह जाते हैं, वहाँ सभी लोगों को खुशी से खाते हुए देखते हैं, और फिर उस जगह को चुनते हैं। इसलिए खाने के लिए टोह लेना, एक तरह की खजाने की खोज पर निकलना मेरी सबसे पसंदीदा चीज़ों में से एक है।

If you go around a time when you're hungry, around mealtime, then you have a desperate search to find something to eat and you have this interplay between approach and avoidance. You go in a place, you smell, if it doesn't smell so good you go to the next place, you look at all the people, they're happily eating, and then you choose that place. So having to reconnoiter, having to go on a kind of treasure hunt for food is one of my favorite things.

मेरा मानना है कि जो चीज़ें हिलती-डूलती नहीं हैं, उनकी स्थिर तस्वीरें लेनी चाहिए, और जो चीज़ें हिलती-डूलती हैं, उनके वीडियो या चलचित्र बनाने चाहिए

स्टेशन का नक्शा देखना और नक्शों पर यह लिखा होना मददगार होगा कि आसपास की जगहों या इमारतों तक पहुँचने के लिए कौन से निकास (एग्जिट) का उपयोग करना चाहिए, ताकि आपको भीड़ में साइनबोर्ड पढ़ने के लिए स्टेशन पर भटकना न पड़े।

It would be helpful to be able to see the layout and for the maps to label what exits to use to get to nearby sites/buildings so you aren't wandering the station trying to read the signs in the crowds.

मुझे लगता है कि प्लेटफॉर्म की जानकारी दिखाने वाले नक्शे यात्रियों के लिए, खासकर स्कूल के बच्चों के समूहों के साथ आने वाले इंचार्ज (चैपरोन) आदि के लिए बहुत उपयोगी होंगे। इसके अलावा, हर मेट्रो निकास पर उत्तर दिशा दर्शाने वाला कम्पास रोज या तीर होना भी मददगार होगा। जमीन के नीचे से बाहर निकलना भटकाव पैदा करता है, खासकर रात के समय।

I think that maps showing platform details would be useful to visitors, especially to chaperones of school groups, etc. Also useful would be either a compass rose or an arrow pointing North at every metro exit. Emerging from underground is disorienting, especially at night.

मुझे नहीं लगता कि किसी दूसरे देश जाकर सिर्फ क्लासरूम में बैठकर पढ़ाई करना कोई बहुत फायदेमंद सौदा है। असली जरूरी बात यह है कि आप वहाँ की स्थानीय अर्थव्यवस्था और संस्कृति में पूरी तरह घुलमिल जाएं।

I don't think it's particularly useful to be going to another country and staying in a classroom and just studying in the classroom. What's important, I think, is to get immersed into the local economy.

मुझे लगता है कि कैथोलिक बचपन का फायदा यह होता है कि जीवन के बारे में जानकारी और संकेत देने वाले दृश्य प्रतीकों—चाहे वह जीवन का रहस्य हो या सामान्य जीवन—में आपका अटूट विश्वास बन जाता है,

I think the benefit of a Catholic childhood is your belief in visual symbols as transmitters of information and clues about life, whether it's the mystery of life or life in general.

शायद मैंने भारत में कुछ ज़्यादा ही सोच-विचार कर लिया। इसका पूरा दोष मैं यहाँ की सड़कों को दूँगा, क्योंकि वे कमाल की थीं।

I probably did too much thinking in India. I blame it on the roads, for they were superb.

एक हफ्ता 'चुक' का कोई बेहद रोमांटिक एपिसोड हो सकता है, और अगले हफ्ते कोई मर्डर मिस्ट्री। यह किसी एक ढर्रे पर चलने वाले शो जैसा नहीं है।

One week, you can have a real heavy romance 'Chuck' episode, and the next week it can be some kind of murdery mystery. It's not like doing a procedural.

मैंने खाने के बारे में सबसे पहले फ्रांस में ही सीखा था। वहाँ मैंने जाना कि एक बेहतरीन नाशपाती, पका हुआ ब्री चीज़, सबसे ताज़ा मक्खन और उच्च गुणवत्ता वाली क्रीम को चुनना भी उतना ही महत्वपूर्ण है, जितना कि उस डिश को पकाना जिसे आप परोसा जाने वाला है।

It was in France that I first learned about food. And that even the selection of a perfect pear, a ripe piece of Brie, the freshest butter, the highest quality cream were as important as how the dish you were going to be served was actually cooked.

मुझे यह देखना बहुत पसंद था कि कैसे हर कोई खाने के बारे में ऐसे बात करता था मानो यह जिंदगी की सबसे अहम चीज़ों में से एक हो। और ज़ाहिर है, यह है भी। इसके बिना हम जीवित नहीं रह सकते। हम में से हर कोई साल भर में लगभग एक हज़ार बार खाना खाता है। मेरा मानना है कि हमें इनमें से ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा भोजन को सचमुच यादगार बनाने की कोशिश करनी चाहिए।

I used to love the way everyone talked about food as if it were one of the most important things in life. And, of course, it is. Without it we would die. Each of us eats about one thousand meals each year. It is my belief that we should try and make as many of these meals as we can truly memorable.

मैंने छह साल तक वृत्तचित्र और टीवी के लिए काम किया, लेकिन बतौर निर्देशक यह मेरी पहली फीचर फिल्म थी, इसलिए कई ऐसे पल आए जब मैं आसपास देखता और बहुत उत्साहित हो जाता... लेकिन ज़ाहिर है, रोज़मर्रा की ज़िंदगी में यह बहुत चुनौतीपूर्ण भी था। और अब जबकि यह रिलीज़ हो रही है, तो लोग ज़्यादातर कलाकारों से ही बात करना चाहते हैं।

I've done documentaries and TV for six years but this was my first feature as director, so there were moments when I'd look around and was excited... but, of course, it was also very challenging on a day-to-day basis. And, of course, now that it's coming out people want to talk mostly to the actors.

मुझे याद है कि मेरे हाथ यूएफसी (UFC) की कुछ डीवीडी लगी थीं, जिन्हें मैंने देखना शुरू किया और उसका फैन बन गया। बहुत ज्यादा खींचतान और पकड़-धकड़ की वजह से वह थोड़ा बोरिंग था और मैंने उसका काफी हिस्सा फॉरवर्ड कर दिया था, लेकिन फिर भी मैं देखता रहा क्योंकि मुझे मार्शल आर्ट्स पसंद है।

I remember coming across some DVDs of the UFC and so I started watching that and became a fan of it. It was a little boring because of all the grabbing and holding and I fast-forwarded through a lot of it, but I still watched because I like martial arts.

मैंने न तो थिएटर की पढ़ाई की थी और न ही अभिनय का कोई प्रशिक्षण लिया था, लेकिन मेरे पास गति, कंपोज़िशन और इस बात की समझ ज़रूर थी कि अंत में चीज़ें कैसी दिखेंगी। शुक्र है कि मेरे पास अच्छे अभिनेता दोस्त थे जो किरदारों को गढ़ने में मेरी मदद करते थे और खुद को उस मुकाम तक ले जाते थे जहाँ एक अच्छे निर्देशक को उन्हें पहुँचाना चाहिए।

I hadn't studied theatre and I hadn't studied actor training or anything, but I did have a sense of movement and composition, and what the final product would be like, but luckily I had friends who were good actors, who would help me get them, who would get themselves to the place where a good director should get them to build characters.

मैं बस चीज़ों में ज़्यादा सक्रिय रूप से जुड़ना चाहता था, और चूँकि इस काम की प्रकृति ही ऐसी थी जिसमें प्रोडक्शन से अलग केवल लेखन का मूल्यांकन करना होता था, इसलिए मुझे निर्देशक के काम की स्पष्ट समझ मिल गई। मुझे निर्देशन में दिलचस्पी पैदा हुई, और फिर मैंने अस्सी के दशक के आखिर में यह काम शुरू कर दिया।

I just started to want to be more hands on, and again, because of the nature of this job which was to evaluate the writing apart from the production, I got clear on what a director did and I became interested in directing, so I started to do that in the late 80s.
