मुझे लगता है संगीत ही एकमात्र ऐसी चीज़ है जो हमेशा सचमुच मेरे पास रहेगी।
I think music is the only thing that I'll ever really have.

मैं पंद्रह साल की उम्र से ही एक कलाकार बनना चाहती थी, और लोग मुझ पर हँसा करते थे। यह नब्बे के दशक का उत्तरार्ध था, पॉप स्टार्स और नाभि दिखाने वाले नृत्यों का दौर था, जब लोग अपना पेट खुलकर दिखाते थे। मैं एक सच्ची गायिका बनना चाहती थी।
I wanted to be an artist, even at the age of 15, and people used to laugh at me. It was the late '90s, the time of pop stars and navel-dancing, where you were showing your midriff. I wanted to be a real singer.

जब एक ही बहुत बड़ी जगह पर सैकड़ों लोग इकट्ठा होते हैं, तो मज़ाक-मस्ती और टाँग खींचने का माहौल बनना लाजिमी है।
When you have a couple hundred people in one huge space, that's gonna lead to jokes and it's a breeding ground for practical jokes and teasing.

मैं प्यार पर गाने तो लिखती हूँ पर मैं सचमुच प्यार को उतनी अच्छी तरह नहीं जानती।
I do write songs about love but I don't really know love that well.

मेरी ज़िंदगी में एक ऐसा दौर आया जब मैंने ढेरों ऐसी चीज़ें कीं जिनका मुझे पछतावा हुआ। मैंने हर गलत फैसला लिया। मैं अपनी ज़िंदगी को ऐसे तमाम प्रोजेक्ट्स से भरना चाह रही थी, यह उम्मीद करते हुए कि उनमें से कोई एक तो सफल हो जाएगा। मैं एक धोखेबाज प्रेमिका जैसी थी। मैं एक साथ कई बैंड्स के साथ बेवफाई कर रही थी और सब कुछ संभालने की कोशिश कर रही थी।
I got to a point in my life when I'd done loads of things I regretted. I made all the wrong decisions. I was trying to fill my life with all these projects, hoping that one of them would succeed. I was like a cheating girlfriend. I was cheating on all the bands with other bands, and I was trying to manage everything.

जब भी मेरा परिवार इकट्ठा होता, मैं हमेशा उठकर सबका मनोरंजन करती, लेकिन वह सब बस हँसी-मज़ाक जैसा होता था। लोगों के सामने गाने की मेरी पहली सच्ची याद तब की है जब मैं ग्यारह या बारह साल की थी।
When my family all got together, I'd always get up and entertain everyone, but it was all a bit of a joke. My first real memory of singing for people was when I was about eleven or 12.

यह कभी भी कोई सोच-समझकर लिया गया फैसला नहीं था—मैं खुद को डफ़ी के रूप में पेश कर रही थी और मेरे दोस्त मुझे डफ़ी कहकर बुला रहे थे, इसलिए मैंने अपने नाम का पहला हिस्सा हटा दिया। मेरे लिए यह कोई बड़ी बात नहीं है, लेकिन बहुत से लोग यह खंगालना चाहते हैं कि मैंने अपना यह नाम क्यों रखा है। लोग मुझे इसी नाम से जानते हैं, बस इतनी सी बात है।
It was never a conscious decision - I was introducing myself as Duffy and my friends were calling me Duffy, so I just knocked off the first half of my name. For me it's no big deal, but a lot of people want to unearth why I've called myself this. It's just what I'm known as, you know.

मैं अपना रिकॉर्ड रिलीज़ करने को लेकर हमेशा से थोड़ी सहमी हुई रही हूँ क्योंकि यह मेरे दिल के बहुत करीब है। अब यह उतना डरावना नहीं लग रहा जितना मैंने सोचा था।
I've always been slightly afraid of coming out with my record because it's so personal to me. Now it doesn't feel as frightening as I thought it would.

मैं अभी-अभी यह सीख रही हूँ कि जब मुझे अपना माइक्रोफ़ोन कम करवाना हो तो किस भाषा का इस्तेमाल करना चाहिए, क्योंकि यह सब मेरे लिए बहुत नया है। जिन लोगों के साथ मैं काम करती हूँ, उनसे रोज़मर्रा की बातचीत करना कभी-कभी काफी मुश्किल हो सकता है, इसलिए मैं बस इस बात का इंतज़ार कर रही हूँ कि मुझे और ज़्यादा जानकारी हो जाए।
I'm only just learning what language to use when I want my microphone turned down, you know, because it's all so new to me. It can be quite difficult on a daily basis to communicate with the people I work with, so I'm just looking forward to knowing more.
