मैं ऐसे माहौल में पला-बढ़ा जो मुझे बेहद मिला-जुला और समावेशी लगता था।
I grew up in a place that felt very integrated.

कभी-कभी मुझे लगता है कि 'फुटलूज़' जीवन का एक अहम पड़ाव या संस्कार जैसा है।
Sometimes I feel that 'Footloose' is the rite of passage.

मुझे यह लगने लगा था कि 'फुटलूज़' को एक बार फिर से कहने का सही समय आ गया है, क्योंकि अब का राजनीतिक और भावनात्मक माहौल ऐसा है जहाँ हम उस शहर की कहानी को बेहतर ढंग से टटोल सकते हैं जिसने किसी आघात और झटके को झेला हो और फिर ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा प्रतिक्रिया देने लगा हो।
I began to think that there was a place for 'Footloose' to get retold again, that there was actually a more conducive political climate, an emotional climate to explore a town that has experienced a trauma and a shock, and starts overreacting.

मैं थोड़ा गोलमटोल और झेंपू सा था, और लड़कियों से घुलने-मिलने का मेरे पास एकमात्र जरिया बच्चों के नाटक (चिल्ड्रन्स थिएटर) में शामिल होना था, तो मैंने वही किया।
I was chubby and awkward, and the only way I could really meet girls was to join children's theater, so that's what I did.

मुझे एक वॉकमैन मिला, मेरे पास 'फुटलूज़' का साउंडट्रैक था और मैं लगातार उस पर नाचता रहता था।
I got a Walkman, I had the 'Footloose' soundtrack and I danced to it constantly.

मुझे इस बात से हैरानी होती है कि कितने सारे लोगों ने 'फुटलूज़' नहीं देखी है।
I'm surprised by how many people have not seen 'Footloose.'

और तमाम फिल्मों में से, पता नहीं क्यों, मैं जब भी बैठता हूँ तो हमारी 'फुटलूज़' ज़रूर देखता हूँ। मैं रो पड़ता हूँ, उत्साहित हो जाता हूँ, तालियाँ बजाता हूँ, मेरा दिल जोर से धड़कने लगता है। मुझे यह वाकई बहुत पसंद है।
And out of all the movies, I don't know what it is, I'll always sit down and watch our 'Footloose'. I cry, I get excited, I cheer, my heart pounds. I really enjoy it.

मैं यह प्रोजेक्ट तभी हाथ में लेता जब मुझे कास्टिंग पर पूरी रचनात्मक छूट मिलती।
I wouldn't take on the project unless I could have complete creative control in casting.

मुझे लगता है कि बच्चों के थिएटर में जाने वाले और फिर आगे चलकर हाई स्कूल में थिएटर करने वाले लोगों का एक खास मिजाज होता है। थिएटर में जिन लड़कों को मैं जानता था, उनमें कुछ तो बात थी—हम सब बहुत संवेदनशील थे। देखकर पता चल जाता था कि जीवन में कभी न कभी हमारा भी मज़ाक उड़ाया गया था।
I think that there's a particular type of person who goes into children's theater, and then goes into theater in high school. There was something about the guys I knew in theater, we were all very vulnerable. You could tell that at some point we were made fun of.

मेरा पालन-पोषण एक सदर्न बैपटिस्ट परिवार में हुआ था, और मेरा पूरा परिवार ईसाई था। हालाँकि, मेरे पिताजी को विज्ञान और खगोल विज्ञान में बहुत दिलचस्पी थी, इसलिए मेरा बचपन काफी संतुलित माहौल में बीता। फिर भी मेरे मन में आस्था के प्रति सम्मान था।
I was raised a Southern Baptist, and my whole family were Christians. However, my Dad was really into science and astronomy, so I felt very balanced. I still had respect for faith.

किसी युवा दर्शक के लिए सिनेमा हॉल में बैठकर किसी नए कलाकार को पर्दे पर पहली बार देखना एक बेहद खास अनुभव होता है, और ऐसा आजकल बहुत कम देखने को मिलता है क्योंकि फिल्मों का ज्यादातर ताना-बाना पहले से ही स्थापित अभिनेता-अभिनेत्रियों के इर्द-गिर्द बुना जाता है।
There's something really special for a young person to sit in an audience and discover somebody, and it's rare to do because so much of a movie's economics are based on pre-existing actors or actresses.

मैंने ऐसी फिल्में भी की हैं जिनमें मुझे अभिनेताओं को रैप करना सिखाना पड़ा है और रैपर्स को अभिनय सिखाना पड़ा है।
I've done movies where I've had to cast actors and teach them to rap, and cast rappers and teach them to act.

वह फिल्म मेरी प्रेमिका थी। वही मेरी महबूबा थी।" मुझे पता था कि शुरुआत में लोगों का गुस्सा फूटेगा। बल्कि, जब मैं 'फुटलूज़' करने का फैसला कर रहा था, तो मुझे सबसे पहले इसी बात का अहसास करना था। सबसे पहले, मुझे इसके साथ अपना मानवीय जुड़ाव तलाशना था और साथ ही यह भी स्वीकार करना था कि इस चक्कर में मुझे थोड़ी बहुत आलोचना या मार तो पड़ेगी ही।
That movie was my girlfriend. That was my girl." I knew there was going to be initial anger. As a matter of fact, when I was deciding to do Footloose that was one of the first things that I had to realize. First of all, I had to figure out a human connection to it but then I also had to reconcile that I was going to get beat up a little bit on this a little bit.

आप कोई पटकथा लिखते हैं और फिर हर कोई उसमें अपनी टांग अड़ाना चाहता है और हमें उस स्थिति से निपटना पड़ता है। मैंने स्टूडियो के लिए तीन पटकथाएँ लिखी हैं और अभी तक उन पर फिल्में नहीं बनी हैं, इसलिए हमेशा कोई न कोई ऐसी अड़चन आ जाती है जो या तो काम रोक देती है या फिर स्क्रिप्ट में दोबारा बदलाव की मांग खड़ी कर देती है।
You write a screenplay and then everybody is going to want to get in on it and we have to figure that out. I've written three screenplays that are at studios and I still haven't been making them yet so there is always something that is either going to trip something up or maybe get another pass.
