हर इंसान की एक आम ख्वाहिश होती है—प्यार करना और प्यार पाना। ज़िंदगी के आखिर में, इसी से हम अपनी ज़िंदगी का आकलन करते हैं।
One common desire that every human being has is to love and be loved. At the end of our lives, it's how we measure our lives.

फिल्म उद्योग बहुत निराशाजनक और पेचीदा हो सकता है; यहाँ सफलता का कोई सीधा रास्ता नहीं होता। इसके लिए आपके पास अथक प्रयास, समर्पण और जनून होना चाहिए। आपको उस चीज़ की बहुत शिद्दत से चाह होनी चाहिए और बहुत सारी अस्वीकारोक्ति (रिजेक्शन) का सामना करने के लिए तैयार रहना चाहिए।
The movie business can be very frustrating and very circuitous; theres no straight path. You have to have tremendous perseverance, dedication and passion. You have to want it very, very badly and you have to deal with a lot of rejection.

मैंने सोचा कि मुझे बैटमैन पसंद है, स्पाइडर-मैन पसंद है, मुझे ये सारे किरदार पसंद हैं, लेकिन कैटवुमन बाकी सभी से वाकई बहुत अलग है।
I thought, I loved Batman, I loved Spider-Man, I love all these characters, but Catwoman is really different from any other one.

यह अजीब बात है कि ज़िंदगी में चीज़ें कैसे-कैसे मोड़ लेती हैं। कभी-कभी, मौका मिलते ही आपको बस उसे अपना लेना होता है। ज़िंदगी वाकई हैरान करने वाली हो सकती है।
It's funny how things happen in life. Sometimes, you just take the opportunity when it comes. Life can be surprising.

अगर आप इतने खुशन नसीब हैं कि आपको प्यार का अनुभव हो, तो आप पाएंगे कि यह सबसे कठिन समय में भी आपको संभाले रखता है।
If you're lucky enough to experience love, what you find is that it can sustain you through the most difficult times.

सिनेमाघरों के खत्म होने की बातें लोग दशकों से करते आ रहे हैं, पर सच तो यह है कि आज भी भारी संख्या में लोग फिल्में देखने जाते हैं। इसमें थोड़ी कमी ज़रूर आई है, लेकिन उतनी नहीं जितनी सोची जाती थी। मुझे लगता है कि सबसे बड़ा बदलाव टेलीविजन पर केबल और स्ट्रीमिंग का आना है। इसका वाकई बहुत गहरा असर पड़ा है, और मेरे हिसाब से यह एक सकारात्मक बदलाव है। वहां वाकई बहुत अच्छा काम हो रहा है, और चूंकि अब फिल्में या तो बहुत बड़े बजट की ब्लॉकबस्टर होती हैं या फिर छोटी फिल्में, ऐसे में यह दौर चरित्र-प्रधान (कैरेक्टर-ड्रिवन) कहानियों के लिए एक नया मंच प्रदान करता है।
Everybody's been decrying the death of movie theaters for decades and, you know, people are still going to the movies in droves. It's gone down, but it hasn't gone down that much. I think the biggest change has been the emergence of cable and streaming on television. That has really had a dramatic effect, and I think it's a positive one. I think there's really good work going on there, and as movies stratify to being these gigantic tentpole movies, and small movies, I think it gives another outlet for character-driven material.

महिलाओं का नजरिया ऐसा है जिससे मैं खुद को जुड़ा हुआ महसूस करती हूँ और उसे अच्छे से समझती हूँ। मुझे यह बेहद दिलचस्प लगता है। मुझे महिलाओं को मुश्किल परिस्थितियों में देखना और यह देखना पसंद है कि वे उनका सामना कैसे करती हैं या कैसे नहीं कर पाती हैं।
The female perspective is what I relate to and I understand it. I find it fascinating. I like to see women in challenging situations and see how they deal with it or don't deal with it.

मुझसे पहले कुछ महिला निर्माता थीं, महिलाओं की एक ऐसी पीढ़ी थी जिसने मुझसे कुछ समय पहले शुरुआत की थी। शेरी लांसिंग, जो किसी स्टूडियो की पहली महिला अध्यक्ष थीं, उन्होंने मुझे वाकई बहुत प्रेरित किया। दूसरे क्षेत्रों की महिलाओं ने भी मुझे प्रेरणा दी; सत्तर के दशक में जब मैं किशोर थी, तब दूसरी लहर की नारीवाद (second wave feminism) का दौर था, जिससे मैं बहुत प्रेरित हुई और मुझे लगा कि, आख़िरकार ऐसा क्यों न हो, मैं यह सब क्यों नहीं कर सकती।
There were a few before me, there was a generation that started a little bit before me of women producers and Sherry Lansing, she was the first woman studio president, and she was really inspiring to me. I was inspired by other women in other fields, I was an adolescent in the 70s with the second wave feminism, and I got very inspired by that and felt like, you know what, there's no reason why I can't do this.

एक निर्देशक होने का मतलब खुद के भीतर गहराई तक उतरना भी है। मुझे लगता है कि मैं सामग्री, पटकथा, उसके मुख्य भाव और किरदारों को जितनी गहराई से समझ पाई, मेरा आत्मविश्वास उतना ही बढ़ा और मैं फिल्म में उतना ही अधिक योगदान दे पाई। मैं खुद को खुशनसमत मानती हूँ कि मुझे ऐसे कलाकार मिले जो इस गहराई में हर कदम पर मेरे साथ थे।
Being a director it's mean - digging deep in yourself as well. I think the deeper I understood the material and the script and the themes and the characters, I felt the more confident I was and the more I could bring to the movie. So I was lucky to have my actors because they were right there with me in the deep end.

आज टेलीविजन पर इतना बेहतरीन काम हो रहा है, और वहाँ कई ऐसी चीज़ें दिखाई जा रही हैं जो पहले या तो कोई फिल्म बनतीं या फिर अगर केबल और स्ट्रीमिंग न होतीं तो शायद कभी बनती ही नहीं। यह भविष्य का एक बेहद रोमांचक हिस्सा है और मैं वाकई इसका हिस्सा बनना चाहती हूँ।
There's so much good television now, and there's a lot of things on television that would have been a movie or maybe wouldn't have been made at all if it wasn't for cable and streaming. It's a really exciting part of the future and I really want to be a part of it.

मुझे लगता है कि आजकल कुछ लेखन, निर्देशन और सामग्री का स्तर कई बार फिल्मों से भी बेहतर होता है। कलाकारों—या यों कहें कि आम तौर पर सभी कलाकारों—चाहे वे अभिनेता हों, लेखक हों या निर्देशक हों—हम सभी के लिए सबसे मायने रखने वाली बात यह है कि काम अच्छा हो और हम कुछ ऐसा रच सकें जो सच में गहरा असर छोड़े और सार्थक हो।
I think that some of the writing, directing, and the content is better than a lot of movies sometimes. Actors, well artists in general - actors, writers, directors - what we all care about the most is good work and being able to create something that is really resonant and meaningful.
