अपने बूँस (बीस से उनतीस साल की उम्र) में, मैं बहुत बड़ा और सिरफिरा जोखिम उठाने वाला इंसान था।

In my twenties, I was a huge, insane risk-taker.

इसके बाद सच कहूँ तो, मैंने वसंत का अधिकांश समय अमेरिका भर के ढेरों क्षेत्रीय उत्सवों में घूमने में बिताया। देश के कोने-कोने में, मैं इस फिल्म को बीस फिल्म फेस्टिवल्स या उसके आसपास कहीं लेकर गया। अब तो गिनती भी भूल चुका हूँ। इस पड़ाव तक शायद 40-50 बार सवाल-जवाब (Q&A) के सत्र कर चुका हूँ। अपनी बनाई हुई किसी चीज़ को देखना हमेशा से मुश्किल होता है, लेकिन अब मुझमें थोड़ी ज़्यादा निष्पक्षता आ गई है और मैं फिल्म को सिर्फ अपने ही एक रूप के तौर पर नहीं देख पाता।

After that really, I spent the majority of the spring going to tons and tons of regional festivals throughout America. Every corner of the country, I took the movie to twenty film festivals or something to that extent. I've lost track. Probably done Q&As 40-50 times at this point. It's always hard to watch something I've made, but I've got a little more objectivity and kind of see the film as not just an extension of myself.

अभिनय कोई ऐसी चीज़ नहीं है जिसके बारे में मैं बहुत सोच-समझकर योजना बनाता हूँ, किसी तरह वह तरीका मेरे लिए काम नहीं करता। मैं बस अपने भीतर उसे महसूस करके उस भूमिका में ढल जाता हूँ।

Acting isn't something that I think about very consciously, somehow that just doesn't work for me. I just kind of feel my way into it.

भौतिक यादें आम तौर पर किसी तस्वीर के बारे में कही जाने वाली बातों का हिस्सा नहीं होतीं, और यह कला को समझने की एक कमी है क्योंकि हर पेंटिंग रंग के उस प्रतिरोध, ब्रश के ठेलने वाले अंदाज़ और बेजान चीज़ों के आगे उसकी रफ़्तार और जिद्द को अपने अंदर समेटे रहती है।

The material memories are not usually part of what is said about a picture, and that is a fault in interpretation because every painting captures a certain resistance of paint, a prodding gesture of the brush, a speed and insistence in the face of mindless matter.

मैं हमेशा उन कलाकारों से ईर्ष्या करता हूँ जिन्हें हर दिन काम पर जाने और वहाँ अपनी जड़ें गहरी करने का मौका मिलता है, हालांकि बहुत सारे अलग-अलग किरदार निभाना वाकई बहुत मजेदार है।

Im always envious of the actors who get to come to work every day and really grow deep roots there, but it is really fun playing lots of different characters.

नेटवर्क के साथ मेरा पहला शो 'जनरल हॉस्पिटल' था, जो एबीसी पर प्रसारित होता था। मुझे लगता है कि उनके साथ मेरा एक लंबा इतिहास रहा है, वे अपने शो का बहुत ख्याल रखते हैं और उनकी पसंद काफी परिपक्व और समझदारी भरी होती है।

My first job with a network was General Hospital, and that was ABC. I feel like I have so much history with them, that they treat their shows well and they have good, discerning taste.

मुझे याद है जब मैं मार्क [डुप्लास] के साथ ऑडिशन दे रहा था, तो मैं उन पर हावी नहीं हो पा रहा था। वह इतने समझदार, शांत और जमीन से जुड़े हुए हैं कि मैं इस स्थिति में किसी और के साथ जो आम तौर पर करता, वो उनके साथ नहीं कर पाया। मैं उस दृश्य में उन पर अपनी बढ़त नहीं बना सका। उनके साथ काम करने की संभावना ने मुझे वाकई बहुत प्रभावित और उत्साहित किया था।

I remember being in the audition with Mark [Duplass] and I remember not being able to dominate him. He's so smart and centered and grounded. I can't do what I'd normally do to someone in this situation. I can't get the upper hand in the scene. I was really impressed and excited about the possibility to work with him.

जब मैं पिछली सदियों के किरदार निभाता हूँ, तो यह बात मुझे हमेशा हैरान करती है कि वे अपने कारनामे करते समय कितने कम उम्र के थे। यही वह बात है जिसके साथ मुझे तालमेल बिठाना पड़ता है - जब मैंने 'वॉर एंड पीस' में रूसी कैवलरी (घुड़सवार सेना) के सिपाही की भूमिका निभाई थी, तो वह महज़ अपनी किशोरावस्था में था। जब मैं कोई पीरियड ड्रामा करता हूँ, तो यही बात मेरे लिए सबसे ज्यादा सिरदर्द होती है।

I'm always struck, when I play characters from previous centuries, how young they were when they did what they did. That's what I need to get used to - when I portrayed a Russian cavalry solider in 'War & Peace,' he was in his teens. When I do a period piece, that's the hardest thing for me to get my head around.

मेरा मानना है कि एक हवाई अड्डा भी किसी कलाकार के लिए प्रेरणादायक जगह हो सकता है। नोबेल पुरस्कार विजेता ने एक बार कुछ ऐसा कहा था, "जितना अधिक कोई यात्रा करता है, उतना ही वह समझदार बनता है," हालांकि, मुझे लगता है कि आप बहुत यात्रा करने के बाद भी संकुचित सोच वाले रह सकते हैं।

I believe that even an airport can be an inspiring place for an artist. A Nobel Prize laureate once said something along the lines of, "The more one travels, the more intelligent one becomes," however, I think that you can still travel a lot and remain sheltered.

प्रदर्शन के मामले में, कुछ अप्रत्याशित होना हमेशा से अच्छा होता है, और अगर वह अप्रत्याशित रूप से बेहतरीन हो तो सोने पर सुहागा। लेकिन अप्रत्याशित रूप से बुरा होने में भी अपने अनुभव और सीख होती है। कार्यक्रम के खत्म होने के बाद पीछे मुड़कर यह कहना हमेशा अच्छा लगता है, "अरे, वही तो वो रात थी जब ऐसा हुआ था," और कई बार बुरी यादें भी उन कार्यक्रमों से बेहतर होती हैं जिनकी कोई याद ही नहीं बचती। एक अच्छे रिहर्सल को बयां करना बहुत मुश्किल होता है। जिन रिहर्सल्स का अंत सबसे सुखद होता है, वे अक्सर वे होती हैं जहाँ कुछ बहुत बुरा हो रहा होता है, और आप किसी तरह उससे पार पाकर आगे बढ़ जाते हैं। बस उन चीज़ों से निपटना जो टाली नहीं जा सकतीं।

In terms of performance, something unexpected is always good, it's preferable if it's unexpectedly good. But unexpectedly bad has a lot to say for it as well. It's always nice to be able to look back on a show and say, "Oh, that's the night that this happened," and a lot of the worst memories are better than the shows with no memories. A good rehearsal is a lot harder to describe. A lot of rehearsals that end up feeling best are the ones where something really bad was happening, and you just kind of got past it and fought through it. Just dealing with things that are inevitable.

मेरा पहला पेशेवर ऑडिशन—भगवान जाने, मैंने यह बात कभी किसी को नहीं बताई—एक टेस्ट कमर्शियल के लिए था, शायद वह एक्सबॉक्स (Xbox) के लिए था। उसमें एक ऐसी दादी मुझे किडनैप कर लेती थीं जिन्हें एक्सबॉक्स खेलना पसंद था। वह बहुत अजीब अनुभव था और मुझे बिल्कुल अंदाज़े नहीं था कि मैं क्या कर रहा हूँ। मुझे सचमुच वह काम मिल गया। असल में वह कोई कमर्शियल नहीं था; वह निर्देशकों द्वारा किया जाने वाला एक डेमो था जिससे वे कंपनी को यह दिखाना चाहते थे कि वे किसी विज्ञापन को कैसे फिल्माएंगे।

My first professional audition - god, I've never told anybody about this - was for a test commercial, I think it was for Xbox. It involved me getting kidnapped by a granny who wanted to play the Xbox. It was very weird and I definitely had no idea what I was doing. I actually got the gig. It wasn't a commercial; it was what directors did when they wanted to show the company what they would do with a commercial.
