और जो लोग हर समस्या के समाधान के रूप में ड्रोन का प्रचार करते हैं, उनके लिए युद्ध की बदसूरत और भयावह सच्चाई से दूर होने का खतरा बना रहता है।
And for the people who promote drones as the answer to everything, there is a danger from being distanced from the reality of the ugly mess of war.

जब मैं ऐसी बड़ी फिल्में देखता हूँ जिनमें सिर्फ अच्छाई और बुराई का संघर्ष दिखाया जाता है और अंत में नायक जीत जाता है, तो मुझे यही लगता है कि हमारी दुनिया इससे कहीं ज्यादा जटिल है। सच कहूँ तो, दुनिया को इस तरह 'सही' और 'गलत' के चश्मे से देखना खतरनाक है।
When I see big movies that are only about good versus evil, and the good guy wins, I only can think we're in a far more complicated world than that. I frankly think that this binary philosophy is actually a dangerous way to look at the world.

सवाल यह उठता है कि क्या किसी इलाके पर बम गिराना इसलिए आसान हो जाता है क्योंकि हम वहां से बहुत दूर बैठे हैं? यह एक महत्वपूर्ण सवाल है और सेना भी इस पर विचार कर रही है।
The question becomes, because we're remotely far away from the territory we're about to bomb, does it make it easier to do it? That it is an important question, and the military is asking those questions.

खुद सेना में रह चुका हूँ, इसलिए जानता हूँ कि संघर्ष के दौरान एक ऐसा भयानक पल आता है जब सब कुछ ठहर सा जाता है।
Having been in the military myself, there is an awful moment when you're in this moment of conflict.

हानी अबू-असद मेरे बगल में बैठे थे और उनकी फिल्म 'पैराडाइज नाउ' ने गोल्डन ग्लोब जीता था। उन्होंने मुझसे ग्लोब्स के दौरान कहा, 'पैराडाइज नाउ, टॉक टू यू लेटर।' [हंसते हुए] मैंने उन्हें इसके लिए गले लगा लिया।
Hany Abu-Assad was sitting next to me, and his film 'Paradise Now' had won the Golden Globe. He said to me at the Globes, 'Paradise now, talk to you later.' [laughs] I gave him a big hug for that.

इंसान बहुत सी पटकथाएं पढ़ता है, कुछ अच्छी होती हैं तो कुछ नहीं, लेकिन कभी-कभी कोई कहानी आपको गहराई से छू लेती है। आप उसे चाहकर भी हाथ से नहीं रख पाते।
One reads many scripts, and some of them are good and some of them are not, but every now and then, one really grabs you. You simply can't put it down.

अगर आप इस कहानी को 'बुरे का अच्छा बन जाना' मानकर पढ़ते हैं, तो यह घिसी-पिटी बात है। लेकिन मेरा अनुभव, जो मैंने एचआईवी/एड्स के मुद्दों पर काम करते हुए बिताया है, यह कहता है कि लोग न तो पूरी तरह अच्छे होते हैं और न ही बुरे। वे दोनों का मिश्रण होते हैं। सिर्फ इसलिए कि कोई कार छीनने वाला है, इसका मतलब यह नहीं कि वह एक बेरहम और ठंडा खून वाला कातिल है।
I think if you read the story as bad guy turns good guy, then clearly it is a cliché. But my experience, when I spent three years working with young people in the townships on issues principally around HIV/AIDS, is that people are usually neither entirely good or bad. They are usually variations of both. Just because someone is a carjacker doesn't mean they are a ruthless cold-blooded murderer.

मैं एक कहानीकार हूँ और अपनी कला का उपयोग करता हूँ। मेरा काम अपनी कला का इस्तेमाल करना है—जो मेरी जाति से बिल्कुल अलग चीज है—और एक कहानी को बखूबी सुनाना है।
I am a story-teller working with a craft. My job is to use my craft - which is a different thing to my race - and tell a story well.

आपको कलात्मक क्षमता को जातीय मूल से अलग करना होगा। मैं सिर्फ अश्वेत ही नहीं, बल्कि महिला भी नहीं हूँ, तो क्या मैं महिलाओं को निर्देशित नहीं कर सकता? मैं अभी सिर्फ 42 साल का हूँ, तो क्या मैं 60 साल के किसी व्यक्ति को निर्देशित नहीं कर सकता? आप देख रहे हैं कि यह तर्क कहाँ जाकर खत्म होता है? अगर आप इसे तार्किक निष्कर्ष तक ले जाएं, तो मुझे बस अपने ऊपर कैमरा लेकर घूमना पड़ेगा। और भला इसमें किसी को क्या दिलचस्पी होगी?
You have to separate artistic ability from ethnic origin. Not only am I not black, I am also not a woman, therefore how can I direct women? I am also only 42, therefore how can I direct someone who's 60? So you see where the argument ends up? If you take it to its logical conclusion, I would have to walk around and point a video camera at myself. And who the hell is interested in that?
