मैंने अभी पढ़ा है कि 81 प्रतिशत अमेरिकी एक महिला को वोट देने के लिए तैयार हैं। तो ऐसा लगता है कि अमेरिका इसके लिए तैयार है।
I just read that 81 percent of Americans are ready to vote for a woman. So it sounds like America is ready.

~कई बार ऐसा महसूस होता है कि कॉलेज, डेटिंग, ड्राइविंग और इन सब चीज़ों के साथ मेरे आगे अभी एक बहुत लंबा सफ़र तय करना बाकी है। लेकिन फिर मुझे एहसास होता है कि इसका मतलब यह है कि मेरे पास अपने बच्चों के साथ आनंद लेने के लिए अभी बहुत सारा समय बचा है। और सचमुच, यह समय इतनी तेज़ी से बीत जाता है कि पता ही नहीं चलता।~
~There are moments when I feel like I have a looong road ahead of me, with college and dating and driving and all of that. But then I realize it just means that I have so much time left to enjoy my kids. And it really does go by so quickly.~

अगर यह सफल नहीं भी होता, तो भी यह तलाक का आधार नहीं बनेगा।

तीरंदाज़ी एक ऐसा खेल है जिसे मैंने बाद में अपनाया और मुझे खुद नहीं पता था कि इसमें मेरा प्राकृतिक रुझान है।
Archery is something that I took up later and didn't know I had a natural aptitude for.

तमाम दूसरे देशों में महिला नेता रही हैं, बल्कि सरकारी पदों पर महिलाओं के प्रतिनिधित्व के मामले में अमेरिका 61वें स्थान पर है और मुझे लगता है कि यह चौंकाने वाला है और इस बात का संकेत है कि बदलाव की ज़रूरत है।
So many other countries have had female leaders, in fact the U.S. ranks 61st in female representation in government and I think it is startling and sign of a change that needs to be made.

वह सजीला सा छोटा चूहा जो इतने प्यारे कपड़े पहनता था और कितनी दिलचस्प बातें करता था, हाँ। मुझे लगा कि अपने परिवार में ऐसा चूहा होना एक बहुत बढ़िया विचार होगा, तो अब मुझे यह देखने को मिलता है कि वह अनुभव कैसा होता था।

मैं यह सब इसलिए कर रहा हूँ ताकि सभी बच्चों, चाहे वे लड़के हों या लड़कियाँ, को यह दिखा सकूँ कि इस दुनिया में आधी जगह महिलाओं की है, दुनिया के आधे दिलचस्प काम वे करती हैं, और आधे सपने तथा महत्त्वाकांक्षाएँ उन्हीं की होती हैं। हमारा नारा है, "वे जो देखती हैं, वही बन सकती हैं।"
The whole point of why I'm doing this is to show all kids, boys and girls, that women take up half the space and do half of the interesting things in the world and have half of the dreams and ambitions. Our slogan is, "If they see it, they can be it."

पूरा हॉलीवुड महж एक ही सोच पर चल रहा है: कि महिलाएँ पुरुषों पर बनी कहानियाँ तो देखेंगी, लेकिन पुरुष महिलाओं पर बनी कहानियाँ नहीं देखेंगे। यह हमारे समाज पर एक भयानक लांछन है अगर हम यह मान लें कि हमारी आधी आबादी को बाकी आधी आबादी में कोई दिलचस्पी ही नहीं है।
All of Hollywood is run on one assumption: That women will watch stories about men, but men won't watch stories about women. It is a horrible indictment of our society of we assume that one half of our population is just not interested in the other half.

बच्चों को ऐसा मनोरंजन देखने की ज़रूरत है जहाँ महिलाओं को पुरुषों के जितना ही सम्मान और महत्व दिया जाए।

इकक्कीसवीं सदी में यह बात किसी भी तरह गले नहीं उतरती कि हम लड़कियों को ऐसी चीज़ें न दिखाएं जिनसे उन्हें कुछ बनने की प्रेरणा मिल सके, और साथ ही, लड़कों के सामने औरतों की भूमिकाओं का इतना संकुचित नज़रिया पेश करें कि वे बस उन्हें एक ही रूप में देखें।
I don't know how in the twenty-first century we can possibly justify not showing girls things that they can aspire to, and at the same time, how can we possibly be showing boys this narrow vision of what women are and what they can be.

काश मुझे याद होता कि यह किसने कहा था, पर मेरा सबसे पसंदीदा कथन है, "अगर कोई इंसान यह कर सकता है, तो मैं भी कर सकता हूँ।"

कोई लड़की टीवी पर जितने ज़्यादा घंटे बिताती है, ज़िंदगी में उसे अपने उतने ही कम विकल्प नज़र आने लगते हैं।
The more hours of television a girl watches, the fewer options she thinks she has in life.

मुझे हमेशा से चुनौतियों की तलाश रहती है। मेरा पूरा करियर ऐसे महिला किरदारों से बचने की कोशिश में बीता है जिन्हें करने के लिए कुछ ख़ास न मिले, और ऐसे किरदारों से बचना सचमुच बहुत मुश्किल है।
I always want a challenge. My whole career has been based on trying to avoid female characters that don't get to do anything. And it's really hard to avoid those.

सबसे ज़रूरी बात यह है कि शुरुआत से ही बच्चों की सोच को बदला जाए, ताकि हमें आगे चलकर कोई समस्या सुधारनी ही न पड़े।
The most important thing is to change what children see from the beginning. To not create a problem we have to fix later.

लड़कों के लिए यह देखना बहुत ज़रूरी है कि लड़कियाँ इस दुनिया का आधा हिस्सा हैं—जो कि वास्तव में हैं भी।

मैं एक बार आइसलैंड की पूर्व राष्ट्रपति [जोहाना सिगुर्डार्डोट्टिर] से मिली थी। शायद वह लगभग 16 साल तक राष्ट्रपति रही थीं। उन्होंने बताया था कि उन्हें छोटे-छोटे लड़कों के खत आते थे जिनमें लिखा होता था, "मैडम प्रेसिडेंट, क्या आपको लगता है कि कभी ऐसा मुमकिन हो पाएगा कि कोई लड़का राष्ट्रपति बन सके?" जैसे हम यह मान लेते हैं कि लड़कियाँ राजनेता नहीं बन सकतीं, वैसे ही वे यह सोचते थे कि लड़के नहीं बन सकते। वे यही सोचते थे। यह कितनी अजीब बात है।
I met the former president of Iceland [Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir] once. I think she was president for, like, 16 years or something. She said she used to get letters from little boys saying, "Madam President, do you think it will ever be possible for a boy to be president?" Just like we assume that girls can't be politicians, they were assuming boys can't. That's what they thought. It's so crazy.

मैं कहूँगी कि हर उस फिल्म को नारीवादी (फेमिनिस्ट) कहा जा सकता है जिसके महिला किरदार अपनी ज़िंदगी के खुद मालिक हों, जो अपने भाग्य का फैसला खुद करती हों, अहम काम करती हों या दुनिया में अपनी पूरी जगह बनाती हों। मैं किसी भी फिल्म को फेमिनिस्ट मानूँगी, भले ही वह किसी भी विषय पर हो, बशर्ते उसमें स्त्री-पुरुष संतुलन हो, जहाँ बॉस या सबसे अच्छा दोस्त या कोई भी किरदार स्त्री होने की संभावना उतनी ही रखता हो। बात बस इतनी सी है कि औरतों को अपनी किस्मत खुद तय करते हुए दिखाया जाए और महिला किरदारों को उनकी आवाज़ दी जाए।
I would say any film can be called feminist that has female characters who have agency in their life, that are in charge of their fate or do important things or take up half the space. I would consider a film feminist, I don't care what it's about, but if the cast was gender balanced, where it would be just as likely that the boss or the best friend or whoever was female. It's really as simple as showing women being in charge of their destiny and giving female characters a voice.

यह बात बड़ी मज़ेदार है, लेकिन हमने टीवी पर आने वाले महिला किरदारों के पेशों पर एक अध्ययन किया था, और सी.एस.आई. (CSI), 'बोन्स' और ऐसे ही तमाम शोज़ की वजह से टीवी पर फॉरेंसिक साइंटिस्ट (अपराध विज्ञान विशेषज्ञ) के रूप में इतनी सारी महिलाएँ हैं कि मुझे किसी के आगे हाथ नहीं जोड़ना पड़ता कि वे महिलाओं को आदर्श रूप में दिखाने के लिए और महिला फॉरेंसिक वैज्ञानिकों को शामिल करें। वे पहले से ही बहुत हैं। असल ज़िंदगी में भी, अब इस क्षेत्र में आने वाले लोगों में लगभग दो-तिहाई महिलाएँ होती हैं।
This is really funny, but we did a study of the occupations of female characters on TV, and there are so many female forensic scientists on TV because of all the CSI shows and Bones and whatever. I don't have to lobby anybody to add more female forensic scientists as role models. There's plenty.In real life, the people going into that field now are something like two-thirds women.

मेरी ज़िंदगी का एक ऐसा पल जिसने मेरी आँखें खोल दीं और मेरे लिए बहुत निर्णायक साबित हुआ, वह था जब मैं ['थेलमा एंड लुईस' की शूटिंग से पहले] पहली बार सुसान सारंडन से मिली थी। हम महज़ स्क्रिप्ट पर चर्चा करने और यह देखने मिलने वाले थे कि क्या हमारे पास कोई विचार या सुझाव हैं, जिसमें सिर्फ़ रिडले [स्कॉट], सुसान और मैं शामिल थे। मैं स्क्रिप्ट पढ़ रही थी, और पूरी तरह से एक झिझकती हुई लड़की की तरह—यानी अगर कोई ऐसा डायलॉग होता जिसे बदला जा सकता था या जिसे मैं किसी अलग तरीके से देखना चाहती थी—तो मैं हर एक बात पर यही सोचती थी, "चलो, इस बात को सेट पर ही उठाएंगे, क्योंकि मैं यहाँ बहुत सारे मुद्दे नहीं उठाना चाहती।"
An eye-opening moment in my life, a very defining moment, was the first time I met Susan Sarandon [before shooting Thelma & Louise]. We were going to meet, just Ridley [Scott] and Susan and I, to go through the script and see if we had any thoughts or ideas. I was reading the script, and in the most girly way possible, meaning that if it was a line that could change or something different I'd like to see, I would think about each one and say, "Well, this one can wait till the set because I don't want to bring up too many things."

मैं [सुसान सारंडन] को पागल कर देती हूँ। मैं हमेशा यही कहती रहती हूँ कि वह मेरी आदर्श हैं। मुझे यकीन है कि वह इससे तंग आ चुकी होंगी।

यह फिल्म फेस्टिवल अर्कांसस के एक छोटे से शहर में होता है, जो अमेरिकी संस्कृति में रसा बसा एक छोटा सा कस्बा है जहाँ एक प्यारा सा टाउन स्क्वायर है। इसका मक़सद सभी माध्यमों यानी टीवी, फिल्मों और आने वाले समय में डिजिटल या किसी भी अन्य क्षेत्र में महिलाओं और विविधता को बढ़ावा देना है। यही इसका लक्ष्य है। हम मेरे संस्थान वाले ही तौर-तरीके अपना रहे हैं, जो शोध पर आधारित है और सीधे तौर पर फिल्म निर्माताओं और सामग्री निर्माताओं के साथ मिलकर काम करने और बड़ा बदलाव लाने की कोशिश करता है। यह दुनिया का इकलौता ऐसा फिल्म फेस्टिवल है जहाँ पुरस्कार जीतने पर फिल्म की रिलीज़ (डिस्ट्रिब्यूशन) की गारंटी मिलती है।
The film festival is in a town in Arkansas, a quintessentially American town with a little town square. It's to champion women and diversity in all media, so TV, movies, eventually, digital, whatever you get into. That's the goal. We're using the same philosophy as my institute, which is to make it research-based and really try to work directly with filmmakers and content creators and move the needle. It's the only film festival in the world where the prizes are guaranteed distribution.

मैंने जब मैं तीन साल की थी, अपने माता-पिता से कह दिया था कि मुझे फिल्मों में जाना है। मुझे नहीं पता कि मैंने तीन साल की उम्र में ऐसा क्या देखा था जिससे मैंने यह तय कर लिया कि यह एक नौकरी है और मुझे यही नौकरी चाहिए। लेकिन मैं अपने इस फैसले को लेकर बहुत आश्वस्त थी, मुझे पूरा यकीन था कि मैं यही करना चाहती हूँ। मैंने इसके लिए कुछ किया नहीं, न ही खुद को कुछ साबित करके दिखाया, बस मुझे अंदर से पता था।
I told my parents when I was three that I wanted to be in movies. I don't know what I saw at three years old that would make me decide that's a job and I want to have that job. But I was very confident, very sure that's what I wanted to do. I didn't do anything about it. I didn't prove it to myself or anything. I just knew.

मैं यह कहना चाहूँगी कि यह कितना जरूरी है कि हम बच्चों को शुरुआत से ही यह सिखाना बंद करें कि लड़के लड़कियों से ज्यादा अहम होते हैं। यह इक्कीसवीं सदी है, थोड़ा आगे बढ़िए। हमें बच्चों को यह दिखाना होगा कि लड़के और लड़कियां रेत के मैदान (सैंडबॉक्स) में बराबरी से खेलते हैं और एक जैसे दिलचस्प काम करते हैं। हम बच्चों को ऐसी बातें सिखा रहे हैं जिन्हें हमें आगे चलकर उनसे मिटाने की कोशिश करनी पड़ती है। क्यों न हम उनके मन में अनजाने में बैठने वाले लैंगिक भेदभाव को भरना अभी से बंद कर दें?
I would say how important it is that we stop teaching kids, from the beginning, that boys are more important than girls. It's the 21st century, you know, let's go here. We have to show kids that boys and girls share the sandbox equally and do equally interesting things. We're teaching kids something that we have to try to get rid of later on. Why not just stop filling them with unconscious gender bias?

हमारे दिमाग में यह बात बैठी हुई है कि महिलाओं को बस एक सीमित दायरा मिलना चाहिए और फिर मान लेते हैं कि हमने उनके साथ न्याय कर दिया है। हर पेशे में यही हाल है। हमें कुछेक महिला प्रोफेसर्स मिल जाती हैं, बोर्ड में कुछ महिला सदस्य दिख जाती हैं—तो यह सब सामान्य लगने लगता है।
We have it in our heads that women only need to take up a certain amount of space and then we've done right by them. It's the same in every profession. We get a handful of women professors, a few female board members - that looks normal.

मेरा आत्मसम्मान बहुत, बहुत कम था—मुझे लगता था कि मैं एक धोखेबाज हूँ, सबको सच पता चल जाएगा, कि मैं सफलता की हकदार नहीं हूँ, और अपने रूप-रंग को लेकर मेरा आत्मविश्वास सचमुच बेहद कम था।

हमें और महिला निर्देशकों की जरूरत है, साथ ही पुरुषों को भी आगे आना होगा और महिला पात्रों तथा महिलाओं की कहानियों से खुद को जोड़ना होगा। हम ऐसा कोई अलग कोना नहीं बनाना चाहते जहाँ महिलाओं को सिर्फ महिलाओं पर आधारित फिल्में ही बनानी पड़ें। यह मान लेना जरूरी नहीं है कि महिलाओं की कहानियां कोई महिला ही कहे, ठीक वैसे ही जैसे पुरुषों की कहानियों के लिए पुरुष निर्देशक होना लाजिमी नहीं है।
We need more female directors, we also need men to step up and identify with female characters and stories about women. We don't want to create a ghetto where women have to do movies about women. To assume stories about women need to be told by a woman isn't necessarily true, just as stories about men don't need a male director.

इसकी एक वजह यह भी है कि हमारी संस्कृति महिलाओं को जरूरत से ज्यादा कामोत्कुक रूप में दिखाती है, इसलिए अगर आप उस पैमाने पर खरी नहीं उतरतीं जिसे हमारे ऊपर थोप दिया गया है, तो आप खुद को कमतर महसूस करने लगती हैं।
It's partly because our culture so hyper-sexualizes females that if you don't measure up to whatever we're forced to think is the standard, then you feel inadequate.

बहुत सारे महिला किरदार सिर्फ उस शख्स की प्रेमिका बनकर रह जाते हैं जो असल में रोमांचक सफर पर है। मैं खुद बेसबॉल खेलना चाहती हूँ, मैं उस खिलाड़ी की गर्लफ्रेंड नहीं बनना चाहती।

शांत रहना और वर्तमान में जीना, खुद के साथ एक डरावनी और खूबसूरत जंग है। मेरे कोच ने कहा था, "यहीं रहो, निशाने के बारे में मत सोचो। वहां नीचे मत भटको।" इसीलिए इसे जेन (Zen) कला कहा जाता है।
It's a horrible and wonderful battle with yourself, to stay calm, stay in the moment. My coach said, "Stay here, not at the target. Don't be down there." It's why they call it the Zen art.

मैंने स्कूल और कॉलेज में सिर्फ नाटक ही किए थे। गर्मियों की छुट्टियों में मैंने दो-एक बार समर स्टॉक थियेटर किया और कॉलेज के नाटकों में हिस्सा लिया। लेकिन मैं जानती थी कि मुझे फिल्मों में ही जाना है।

अगर हम काल्पनिक किरदारों को शानदार और बेहतरीन काम करते हुए दिखाएंगे, तो लड़कियां असल जिंदगी में वैसी बनना चाहेंगी।

मेरे माता-पिता दोनों वरमोंट से हैं, बिल्कुल पुराने खयालों वाले न्यू इंग्लैंड के रहने वाले। हम अपने घर को उस लकड़ी से गर्म रखते थे जिसे मेरे पिता काट कर लाते थे। मेरी माँ हमारा सारा खाना खुद उगाती थीं। बाहर की दुनिया से हमारा ज्यादा वास्ता नहीं था।

हाई स्कूल में मैं इतनी लंबी थी कि मुझे पक्का यकीन हो गया था कि मुझमें फुर्ती नहीं है और मैं एथलीट नहीं बन सकती। मुझे कोई भी खेल खेलने में बहुत डर लगता था, भले ही कक्षा की सबसे लंबी लड़की होने के नाते उन्होंने मुझे लड़कियों की बास्केटबॉल टीम में शामिल करने के लिए कितनी भी कोशिश क्यों न की हो।
I was so tall in high school that I was convinced that I was uncoordinated and not athletic. I was terrified to play any sport at all, no matter how hard they tried to convince me to be on the girls' basketball team as the tallest kid in class.

मेरा फिल्मों में जाने का एक पक्का प्लान था जिसके लिए पहले मॉडल बनना था, इसलिए मैं न्यूयॉर्क गई और वहाँ दुकानों की खिड़कियों में पुतला बनकर खड़े होने की नौकरी करने लगी।

मेरी हर चीज़ को देखने की थ्योरी यह है कि हम बचपन से ही बच्चों के मन में लड़कियों के प्रति लैंगिक भेदभाव भर देते हैं, और फिर बड़े होने पर हमें वह बात अजीब नहीं लगती क्योंकि वह हमारे लिए सामान्य बन जाती है।
My theory of everything is that we are training kids to have gender bias against girls, therefore when you are an adult, you don't see it. We think it's normal.

मैं बहुत किस्मत वाली थी कि मुझे एक ऐसी चाची मिलीं जिनसे मुझे बहुत प्रेरणा मिली। वह परिवार में दोनों तरफ के किसी भी इंसान से बिल्कुल अलग थीं।

बच्चों के लिए बनाई जाने वाली काल्पनिक दुनिया में महिलाओं की मौजूदगी लगभग न के बराबर होती है। यह शुरुआत से ही एक बहुत साफ संदेश देता है कि महिलाओं और लड़कियों के हिस्से में आधे रोमांचक अनुभव नहीं आते, और वे उतनी अहम नहीं हैं। हम बच्चों को यही सिखा रहे हैं कि लड़कियां और महिलाएं दुनिया में आधी जगह की हकदार नहीं हैं।
The fictitious worlds created for kids are nearly bereft of female presence. It's sending a very clear message from the beginning that women and girls do not have half of the adventures, that they're not as important. We're teaching kids that girls and women don't take up half the space in the world.

जब कॉलेज जाने का वक्त आया, तो मैंने अपने माता-पिता से कहा कि मैं एक्टिंग में ग्रेजुएशन करूंगी। उनका शोबिज की दुनिया से दूर-दूर तक कोई वास्ता नहीं था—मेरे पापा ने हमारा घर खुद बनाया था और मेरी मम्मी हमारे खाने के लिए सब्ज़ियां-फसल उगाती थीं।
When it came time for college, I told my parents I was going to major in acting. And they were so removed from anything to do with show business - my dad built our house and my mom grew our food.

मेरी एक वेबसाइट है जिसका इस्तेमाल माता-पिता और लड़कियां 'टाइटल IX' के बारे में जानने के लिए कर सकती हैं, और अगर उनके स्कूल नियमों का पालन नहीं कर रहे हैं तो वे कदम उठा सकती हैं। 'टाइटल IX' लागू होने के तीस साल बाद भी 80 प्रतिशत स्कूल नियमों का पालन नहीं कर रहे हैं।
I have a Web site that parents and girls can use to learn about Title IX and take action if they find their school is not in compliance. Thirty years after Title IX passed, 80 percent of schools are not in compliance.

बचपन में जब मैं और मेरे दोस्त फिल्मों की नकल करते हुए एक्टिंग करते थे, तो हम हमेशा लड़कों के किरदार चुनते थे क्योंकि उनके करने के लिए सबसे दिलचस्प चीज़ें होती थीं। दशकों बाद, मुझे इस बात पर यकीन ही नहीं होता कि आज की फिल्मों में मेरे बेटे और बेटी भी वही सीमित विकल्प देख रहे हैं।
When my friends and I would act out movies as kids, we'd play the guys' roles, since they had the most interesting things to do. Decades later, I can hardly believe my sons and daughter are seeing many of the same limited choices in current films.

महिला पात्रों को छोड़ देने वाले रचनाकार मुझे क्यों नहीं मिले, इसके पीछे मेरी पूरी थ्योरी यह है कि वे सब भी उसी अनुपात (रेशियो) को देखकर बड़े हुए हैं। अभी कुछ दिन पहले मैंने किसी को फिल्मों के बारे में बात करते सुना, जहाँ या तो किसी फिल्म में एकमात्र महिला किरदार होने को 'स्मर्फिंग' कहा जाता है, या फिर किसी भी महिला किरदार के न होने को 'मिनियनिंग' कहा जाता है।
My whole theory about why I couldn’t find any creators who realized they were leaving out female characters is because they were raised on the same ratio. I just heard someone the other day call it either ‘smurfing’ a movie, which is when there’s one female character, or ‘minioning’ a movie, which is when there’s no female characters.

इक्कीसवीं सदी में हम ऐसा क्यों कर रहे हैं? भला हम बच्चों को यह क्यों सिखाएंगे कि लड़कियां लड़कों से कम अहम हैं? मेरी समझ में यह बात बिल्कुल नहीं आती।
What are we doing that for in the 21st century? Why on earth would we teach kids that girls are less important than boys? It just made no sense to me.

मुझे अच्छी तरह याद है कि मैं इतनी लंबी थी कि मेरे नाप की आस्तीन वाली ड्रेस नहीं मिलती थीं, इसलिए आखिरकार मुझे लॉन्जरी और स्विमसूट की मॉडलिंग करनी पड़ी, यानी ऐसी चीज़ें जिनमें बाजू नहीं होती थीं। मेरा शरीर मॉडलिंग के हिसाब से सही नहीं था, लेकिन मुझे पता था कि कमियों को छिपाने के लिए खड़े कैसे होना है या पोज़ कैसे देना है।
I remember very distinctly being so tall I didn't fit sleeves, so I ended up modeling lingerie and bathing suits, sleeveless stuff, basically. I didn't have a good body, but I believed I knew how to stand or pose to mask it.

तीरंदाजी की सबसे बड़ी बात यह है कि यह खुद से ही एक जंग है। आप ज़रा सी चूक से सब कुछ बिगाड़ सकते हैं। एक बार तकनीक सीख जाने के बाद, असल बात यह है कि आप बार-बार उसी परफेक्ट तकनीक को दोहरा सकें।
The main thing about archery is a battle with yourself. You can ruin it all. Once you have learned the technique, the point is to recreate the perfect technique over and over and over.

मुझे फिल्मों की हर छोटी-बड़ी बात से प्यार है, और हर चीज़ में शामिल होना मजेदार लगता है। मुझे यह बहुत पसंद है। किसी चीज़ पर मुझसे सलाह ली जाए, तो यह सोने पर सुहागा जैसा है।
I just love all the details about movies, and it's fun to be involved in everything. I just love it. It's just a little added fun thing to be consulted about stuff.

उन्होंने फोन किया और कहा, "मुझे पता है कि हमें आपको बताना नहीं चाहिए था, लेकिन आपको राष्ट्रपति का रोल ऑफर हुआ है।" और मैंने कहा, "ठीक है, हाँ कह दो।" और वे बोले, "क्या आप शायद स्क्रिप्ट पढ़ना चाहेंगी?" तो मैंने कहा, "नहीं, मुझे बस राष्ट्रपति बनना है।"
They called and said, "I know we're not supposed to even tell you, but you've been offered to play the President." And I said, "OK. Say yes." And they were like, "Do you want to read it maybe?" And I was like, "No, I just want to be the president."

जब मैंने शुरुआत की थी—शायद इसलिए क्योंकि मैंने शुरुआत में ही 'थेलमा एंड लुईस' की थी—तो लोग हमेशा पूछते थे, "क्या अब औरतों के हालात बेहतर हैं?" मैं कहती थी, "हाँ, मुझे लगता है। ऐसा तो लगता है।" फिर कुछ साल बीते, तो मैं कहने लगी, "मुझे लगता है। मुझे कई अच्छे रोल मिल रहे हैं, पर पक्का नहीं कह सकती।" और फिर आखिरकार मैंने कह दिया, "इसे गूगल कर लो। मुझे नहीं पता, पर हालात कुछ खास अच्छे नहीं लगते।"
When I started out, maybe because I did Thelma & Louise early on - but people were always asking, "Are things better for women now?" I would say, "Yeah, I think so. It seems like it." Then a few years in, I started saying, "I think so. I'm getting a lot of good parts, but I don't know." Then eventually, I was like, "Google it. I don't know, but it doesn't seem great."

यही वह बात है जो सबसे ज्यादा झुंझलाहट पैदा करती है, लेकिन साथ ही इसे सुधारा भी जा सकता है। मेरी थ्योरी के मुताबिक कोई इस बात पर ध्यान इसलिए नहीं देता क्योंकि वे बचपन से ही महिलाओं के इसी घिसे-पिटे अनुपात (रेशियो) को देखते आ रहे हैं। चीजें हमेशा से ऐसी ही रही हैं, इसलिए उन्हें इसमें कुछ भी गलत नजर नहीं आता।
That's the really frustrating thing, but also the fixable thing. My theory why no one notices is that that's the [women's roles] ratio thing they grew up with. It's just been that way forever, so they don't see it.

जब मैंने 'ब्रेकिंग बैड' देखना शुरू किया, तो मैं उसे लगातार देखता ही चला गया। मुझे वह इतना शानदार लगा कि मेरी आँखें भर आईं। यह मेरे जीवन का वह इकलौता मौका था जब मुझे किसी से पूरी तरह जलन महसूस हुई, बस वही एक बार। मेरी हालत ऐसी थी जैसे [रोने की नकल करते हुए] "मैं भी वो सब करना चाहता हूँ जो ब्रायन क्रैंस्टन कर रहे हैं। मुझे भी वैसा ही किरदार चाहिए।" [दोनों हंसते हैं] है ना कितनी दयनीय बात?
When I started watching Breaking Bad, I binge-watched it. I thought it was so good that I started to cry. It's the only time in my life I've been completely jealous, the only time. I was like, [imitates crying] "I want to do what Bryan Cranston gets to do. I want a part like that." [both laugh] Isn't that pathetic?

मेरे जीवन में अगर सबसे ज्यादा धड़कनें बढ़ाने वाला कोई पल था, तो वह ओलंपिक ट्रायल्स के दौरान था, क्योंकि तीरंदाजी दर्शकों के लिहाज से बेहद उबाऊ खेल है। तीरंदाजी का मुकाबला देखने कोई नहीं जाता। वजह यह है कि निशाने फुटबॉल के मैदान से तीन-चौथाई दूरी पर होते हैं। कौन जीत रहा है, यह कोई कैसे समझ सकता है? आप जहाँ खड़े होते हैं, वहाँ से अपना निशाना भी ठीक से नहीं दिखाई देता।
The only time I got the absolute most insanely nervous in my life was at the Olympic trials, because archery is a horrible spectator sport. Nobody goes and watches an archery tournament. Because the targets are three-quarters of a football field away. Who can tell who's winning? You can't even see your own target from where you are.

1946 से लेकर अब तक फिल्मों में महिला और पुरुष किरदारों का अनुपात बिल्कुल एक जैसा बना हुआ है। इसलिए अगर आपसे कभी कोई यह कहे कि, "अब हालात बेहतर हो गए हैं, सब कुछ बदल चुका है, काफी फर्क आ गया है," तो जान लीजिए कि कुछ नहीं बदला, स्थिति वैसी की वैसी ही है। कम से कम अभी तक तो नहीं।
The ratio of male to female characters in movies has been exactly the same since 1946. So if you've ever had people say, you know, "It's better now, it's all changed, it's all different," it's not, it hasn't. Not yet.

हकीकत में हम शुरुआत से ही बच्चों के मन में यह बात बिठा रहे हैं कि वे महिलाओं और लड़कियों को दुनिया में आधी हिस्सेदारी रखते हुए न देखें।
We are in effect enculturating kids from the very beginning to see women and girls as not taking up half of the space.

जब मैं गर्भवती हुई, तो मैंने [सुसान सारंडन] को बताया। उन्होंने कहा, "ठीक है। मैं तुम्हें बताती हूँ कि बच्चे को जन्म देते समय क्या करना है: ऐसे जोर लगाना जैसे तुम कोई इनाम जीतना चाहती हो, जैसे तुम उस डॉक्टर की सबसे अच्छी मरीज बनना चाहती हो। वह तुम्हें इस जीत के लिए एक इनाम देगा।" और मैंने बिल्कुल वैसा ही किया। [डॉक्टर] ने मुझसे कहा, "मरीज के तौर पर जोर लगाने के मामले में शायद आप मेरी अब तक की सबसे बेहतरीन मरीज हैं।"
When I got pregnant, I told [Susan Sarandon ]. She said, "All right. I'm gonna tell you the thing to do when you're giving birth: Push like you're trying to win a prize, like you want to be the best patient he's ever had. He's going to give you a prize for winning that." So I did. [The doctor] said, "You are probably the best pusher I've had as a patient."

पुलिस, वकीलों और फॉरेंसिक पर आधारित इतने सारे शोज़ को देखिए... मुझे लगता है कि एक ही राजनीतिक पद को पूरी तरह से अलग नजरिए से दिखाने वाले दो अलग-अलग शोज़ के लिए भी यहाँ गुंजाइश हो सकती है।

जी-रेटेड (बच्चों के देखने लायक) फिल्मों में महिलाओं के लिए सबसे आम पेशा शाही परिवार से होना होता है - जो कि अगर किस्मत से मिल जाए तो एक बहुत बढ़िया काम है।

मैंने अपने एजेंटों से साफ कह दिया था कि मैं कभी एक घंटे का टीवी शो नहीं करना चाहती। मैंने कहा था, "मैं इतनी बेवकूफ नहीं हूँ।" क्योंकि हॉलीवुड में यह सबसे थकाऊ और खराब जीवनशैली है।
I had told my agents that I never wanted to do an hour-long TV show. I said, "I'm not that stupid." Because it's the worst lifestyle in Hollywood.

आप कोई भी फिल्म देख लीजिए, चाहे Tom Cruise की कोई एक्शन फिल्म हो या 'द अवेंजर्स', उसमें एक धांसू महिला किरदार जरूर होगी। आमतौर पर सिर्फ एक। इसके लिए एक खास शब्द भी है, पर मुझे याद नहीं आ रहा। किसी ने एक ऐसा शब्द गढ़ा है जिसका मतलब होता है कि कहानी में एक ऐसी अकेली महिला किरदार होगी जो बेहद मजबूत और ताकतवर है, बाकी मर्दों की तरह हर काम में माहिर है, आमतौर पर काले रंग के चुस्त कपड़े पहने रहती है, जिसका अपना कोई व्यक्तित्व नहीं होता और जो बिल्कुल भी मजाकिया नहीं होती।
Any movie you see, if Tom Cruise is in an action movie or whatever it is, The Avengers, there's going to be a kick-ass female character. Usually one. And there's a term for this, but I don't know what it is. But someone's coined a term where there's one female character who's incredibly tough and strong and just as good as the guys at whatever it is they’re doing, and usually wearing black, skin-tight clothes, and [she] has no personality whatsoever, and is not funny.

मुझे नहीं लगता कि पुरुषों के किरदार महिलाओं के किरदारों जितने सपाट या एक-आयाम वाले होते हैं।

एक बहुत उलझा हुआ जीवन जीना, ढेरों समस्याओं या बहुत सारी कमियों से घिरे होना—ऐसे किरदारों को पर्दे पर निभाना हमेशा से बहुत मजेदार होता है।

हम सब जानते हैं कि मनोरंजन जगत में महिलाओं को दरकिनार करने की कितनी बड़ी समस्या है। खासकर एक अभिनेता के तौर पर हम अच्छी तरह जानते हैं कि महिलाओं के लिए शानदार भूमिकाएँ बहुत कम हैं।
We all know the huge problem there is with entertainment in general leaving out women. Especially as actors, we know there are fewer great parts for women.

मेरी बेटी तब बहुत छोटी थी। मुझे अंदाजा ही नहीं था कि बच्चों के लिए बनने वाली मीडिया में कोई कमी या खराबी हो सकती है। जब मैंने उसके साथ छोटे बच्चों के शो या जी-रेटेड वीडियो देखने शुरू किए, तो मैं जो देख रही थी उस पर मुझे यकीन ही नहीं हुआ। छोटे बच्चों के लिए बनने वाली कहानियों में पुरुष किरदारों की संख्या महिला किरदारों के मुकाबले कहीं ज्यादा थी। यह मेरे लिए एक बहुत बड़ा झटका था।
My daughter was a toddler. I had no idea there was anything wrong with kids' media.I started watching little preschool shows with her or G-rated videos or whatever; I couldn't believe what I was seeing, that there seemed to be far more male characters than female characters in what we make for little kids. It was just a shock.

मेरा मतलब यह था कि दुनिया में महिला किरदारों की कमी है। अक्सर एक महिला किरदार होता है, शायद कोई बेहतरीन किरदार, या कोई अहम किरदार भी। लेकिन बाकी सब कहाँ हैं?
My point was the world is missing female characters. A lot of times there is one female character, maybe even a cool one, maybe even an important one. But where are all the rest?

मैं कभी किसी की सरेआम आलोचना नहीं करती। निर्माताओं पर सीधे असर डालना ज़्यादा असरदार होता है। तो हम यही करते हैं और इसका बहुत अच्छा असर हुआ है।
I don't really bust anybody publicly. It's much more efficient if I can impact the creators. So that's what we do. It's had a great impact.

मेरी एक मौसी थीं जो नौकरी करती थीं और खूब घूमती थीं। वह अक्सर कहतीं, "जब तुम कॉलेज जाओगी, तो मुझे लगता है कि गर्मियों में हमें स्कूबा डाइविंग के लिए चलना चाहिए। पुर्तगाल की स्कूबा डाइविंग कमाल की है।" और मैं कहती, "पुर्तगाल! हे भगवान!"
I had this aunt who had a career and traveled. She'd say things like, "When you go to college, I think we should go scuba diving in the summer. The scuba diving in Portugal is fabulous." And I'd be like, "Portugal! Holy cats!".

जब मैं सुसान [सारंडन] से मिली, तो वह गज़ब की थीं। हम [थेल्मा एंड लुईस] की स्क्रिप्ट पढ़ने बैठे। मैं सच कहूँगी, शायद पहला ही पन्ना रहा होगा—वह बोलीं, "तो मेरा जो पहला संवाद है, मुझे लगता है कि उसकी ज़रूरत नहीं है। या फिर हम उसे दूसरे पन्ने पर रख सकते हैं। इसे हटा दो..." और मेरा मुँह खुला का खुला रह गया।
I meet Susan [Saradon], and she was amazing. We sit down to go through the script [Thelma & Louise]. I swear, I think it was page one - she says, "So my first line, I don't think we need that line. Or we could put it on page two. Cut this ..." And I was just like ... My jaw was to the ground.

मैं दो बेटियों की माँ हूँ, जिनमें से एक पर भूत का साया मंडराने वाला है। यह अनुभव बहुत डरावना और शानदार है। मैं अभी इसकी शूटिंग कर रही हूँ। इसीलिए मैं शिकागो में हूँ। मैं आपको बताना चाहती हूँ कि महिला किरदारों को ज़्यादा जगह दिलाने की इस मुहिम ने क्या नया मोड़ लिया है, वो यह कि पिछले साल मैंने अपना खुद का फिल्म फेस्टिवल शुरू किया है।
I'm the mother of two daughters, one of whom is going to get possessed. It's really spooky and great. I'm shooting it right now. That's why I'm in Chicago. I wanted to tell you about the other direction that this trying-to-get-more-female-characters thing has taken, which is that I launched my own film festival last year.

क्या आपके पसंदीदा उत्पादों के विज्ञापनों में महिलाओं को कमतर दिखाया जाता है या उनका वस्तुकरण किया जाता है? यह सब बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है। मैं अपनी बच्चों की किताबों में बदलाव करती, यहाँ तक कि बेबीसिटर्स के लिए छोड़ी जाने वाली चिट्ठियों में भी यह बात लिखती!
In advertisements for your favorite products, are women denigrated or objectified in some way? All of that is important. I would rewrite my kids' books, I would write it in the books for the babysitter!

मैंने हाल ही में एक स्क्रिप्ट यह कहकर ठुकरा दी, क्योंकि मैंने सोचा, "मैंने अभी तक घर पर रहने वाली उस औरत का किरदार नहीं निभाया है, जो कहती है, 'गुड लक, डार्लिंग,' या ऐसा ही कुछ।" तो मैं इसी तरह के किरदारों की तलाश में रहती हूँ। इसलिए, इस कमी को पूरा करने के लिए, मैं हमेशा ऐसे रोल ढूँढती हूँ जो कुछ चुनौती दें।
I just passed on some a script that I was sent, because I said, "I haven't yet played the person staying home, the one that says, 'Good luck, honey,' or whatever." And so that's what I look for. Therefore, by virtue of that exclusion, I'm always trying to find roles that are challenging.

मेरे लिए कुछ भी शूट खत्म करते ही, मुझे लगता है कि अगर हम ठीक उसी वक्त से शुरुआत करते, तो मैं इसे और बेहतर कर सकती थी।
The second I finish shooting something, I know I could have done it better if we started right then.

फिल्म में आप दोबारा नहीं कर सकते। और आपको एक तय समय पर शूटिंग रोकनी ही पड़ती है।
On film, you can't do it over again. And you do have to stop shooting at a certain point.

मज़ेदार बात यह है कि—किस्मत से—मेरा पहला काम डस्टिन हॉफमैन के साथ था। 'टूटसी' नाम की इस फिल्म में मेरी एक छोटी सी भूमिका थी। और उन्होंने मुझे सिखाया कि डेलीज़ (शूट हुए फुटेज) कैसे देखे जाते हैं। उन्होंने बताया कि यह कितना ज़रूरी है।
Ridiculously - fortunately - my first job was with Dustin Hoffman. I had a little part in this movie called Tootsie. And he taught me how to watch dailies. That it was very important.

मैं बहुत इत्मीनान से अपनी सभी फिल्में देख सकती हूँ। बहुत से लोगों को अपना काम देखना पसंद नहीं है। मैं सब कुछ देखती हूँ। हर समय।

कुछ रिहर्सल और कुछ टेक के बाद, सिडनी पोलॉक मुझसे कहते हैं, "इधर आओ। तुम घबराई हुई क्यों नहीं हो?" और मैं [कहती हूँ], "क्या आपको लगता है कि अगर मैं घबराई होती तो ज़्यादा अच्छा होता?" और वह कहते हैं, "नहीं, बात बस इतनी है कि मेरी समझ में नहीं आता—सेट पर यह तुम्हारा पहला दिन है, तुम एक्टिंग कर रही हो, और जब वह अपना डायलॉग भूल जाते हैं तो तुम तुरंत नया डायलॉग बना देती हो। यह बहुत दिलचस्प है।" ऐसा नहीं है कि मैं खुद को महान समझती हूँ; बस यही वह काम था जो मैं करना चाहती थी।
After a couple of rehearsals and a couple of takes, Sydney Pollack says, "Come here. Why are you not nervous?" And I [say], "Do you think it would be better if I was nervous?" And he says, "No, it's just I can't understand it - how you would be first time on a set, you're acting, when he flubs his line you make up a new line. It's very interesting." It's not that I think I'm great; that's what I knew I wanted to do.

मेरी स्क्रिप्ट्स हमेशा नोट्स से भरी रहती हैं। मुझे पूरी तस्वीर, यानी फिल्म के नज़िए से हर चीज़ का विश्लेषण करना पसंद है।
My scripts are always filled with notes. I like to just analyze everything from the point of view of the whole picture, of the movie, my whole picture.

ज़ाहिर है, फिल्में लगभग कभी भी क्रम से शूट नहीं होतीं।

17 साल की उम्र तक मैंने जितनी भी फिल्में देखीं, वे सब डिज़नी की थीं। मेरे माता-पिता का एक नियम था। डिज़नी के बारे में उनका सोचना था कि, जैसे—"फोर्ड एक अच्छी गाड़ी है। डिज़नी ऐसी अच्छी फिल्में बनाता है जो बच्चों के लिए सुरक्षित और बढ़िया हैं।"
The only movies I saw till I was 17 were made by Disney. My parents had this thing. Disney was like, you know, "Ford is a good car. Disney makes good movies that are good for kids and safe."

मैंने बहुत सारे टीवी शो देखे। मैंने टीवी पर ज़्यादा फिल्में नहीं देखीं। लेकिन मैंने 'गिलिगन्स आइलैंड', 'स्टार ट्रेक' और इस तरह की तमाम चीज़ें खूब देखीं।
I watched a lot of series. I didn't watch a lot of movies on TV. But I watched Gilligan's Island and Star Trek and all that stuff.

मुझे थिएटर से बहुत प्यार है। बस, इसने कभी मुझे उस तरह आकर्षित नहीं किया।
I love theater. Just, it never spoke to me.

किसी ने कभी यह नहीं कहा कि, "अच्छा, अगर तुम्हें फिल्मों में काम करना है, तो तुम्हें एल.ए. जाना चाहिए।" बाकी सब न्यूयार्क जा रहे थे। इसलिए मैं भी उनके साथ न्यूयार्क चली गई। और फिर मैं सोचने लगी, "मुझे फिल्म कैसे मिलेगी?"
Nobody ever said, "Well if you want to be in movies, you should go to L.A." Everybody else was going to New York. So I went to New York with them. And then I was like, "How am I supposed to get a movie?"

मुझे लगता है कि मुझमें हमेशा से जीने की भरपूर इच्छा (जोए डी विव्र) रही है। लेकिन बड़े होने के दौरान और अपनी वयस्क ज़िंदगी के एक बड़े हिस्से में मेरा आत्मविश्वास काफ़ी कमज़ोर रहा था।
I think I always had joie de vivre. But I had pretty bad self-esteem growing up and much of my adult life.

मैंने एक बार एक इंटरव्यू में मिशेल पफिफर का एक कथन पढ़ा था, जिसमें उनका कहना था कि लोग शायद इसलिए अभिनय के क्षेत्र में आते हैं ताकि यदि आप लाखों लोगों को यह मनवाने में कामयाब हो जाएं कि वे आपको पसंद करते हैं, तो शायद आप अंततः खुद को पसंद करने लगेंगे, खुद को स्वीकार कर लेंगे। मुझे नहीं पता कि शायद इसका कुछ हिस्सा मेरे साथ भी रहा हो।
I once read a quote that I think was Michelle Pfeiffer in an article, who said that she thought people went into acting because maybe if you could convince millions of people to like you, you will finally like yourself, approve of yourself. I don't know if that may have been a part of it.

जब मैं कुछ समय के लिए मॉडलिंग कर रही थी, तब मेरी एक सहेली जिसके साथ मैंने बहुत काम किया, उसका भी आत्मविश्वास बहुत कमज़ोर था। हमने तय किया कि जिस पल हमें सच में यह लगने लगेगा कि हम आकर्षक हैं, हम उस अहसास को खो बैठेंगे। यानी हम उसे महसूस ही नहीं कर पाएंगे।
When I was a model, actually, for a little while, my friend that I worked with a lot, she had horrible self-esteem too. We decided that the exact moment when we actually thought we were attractive, we wouldn't be anymore. We would just, like, miss it.

साल 2016 में भी संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका में महिलाओं को कई मायनों में दोयम दर्जे का नागरिक माना जाता है, जिसकी वजह लोकप्रिय संस्कृति में उनकी दिखाई जाने वाली छवि है।
Women are in many ways second-class citizens in the United States in 2016, because of the way that we're portrayed in popular culture.

मैं इतनी भाग्यशाली थी कि मुझे कुछ ऐसी फिल्मों में काम करने का मौका मिला जिनमें मेरे किरदार दमदार थे या फिर मुझे कुछ समय के लिए टीवी पर राष्ट्रपति बनने का अवसर मिला। हालाँकि वह कार्यकाल बहुत छोटा था।
I was lucky enough to be in some movies where I had powerful characters or I got to be the president on TV for a little while. Very short administration.

पिछले गर्मियों में मेरे बेटों ने अपने सर्फिंग कैंप से एक ट्रॉफी जीती और घर लौटते ही वे सीधे शेल्फ के पास गए और उसे मेरे ऑस्कर के ठीक बगल में रख दिया। हम अपनी ट्रॉफियां वहीं रखते हैं।
My sons last summer, they won a trophy from their surfing camp and they came home and went right over to the shelf and put it up next to my Oscar. That's where we put our trophies.

मुझे लगता है कि अगर आप नाटक कर रहे हैं, तो आप इतनी रिहर्सल करते हैं कि एक ऐसे मुकाम पर पहुँच जाते हैं जहाँ वह दोबारा सहज लगने लगता है। लेकिन फिल्म में, अगर आप ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा रिहर्सल कर लें, तो आपने हर किसी को पहले ही दिखा दिया है कि आप क्या करने वाले हैं। और फिर उसमें से कोई भी सरप्राइज या सहजता का तत्व बाकी नहीं रहता।
I think if you're doing a play, you're rehearsing enough that you get to a point where it's freeing again. But in a movie, if you rehearse too much, now you've just shown everybody what you're going to do. And any element of surprise or impulsiveness is taken away.

मैं ऐसी इंसान नहीं हूँ जो शूटिंग की कोई बात अपने साथ घर ले जाए, या किसी सीन को शूट करने के बाद कई दिनों तक उस पर मेरा व्यक्तिगत असर बना रहे। मेरा मतलब है कि इसका असर तो पड़ता ही है, लेकिन यह मेरे मन की किसी बहुत गहरी परत तक नहीं उतरता। जब मैं उस काम में होती हूँ, तो पूरी तरह वहीं होती हूँ।
I'm not somebody who takes stuff home with them, that if I shoot a scene and I'm personally impacted for days or something. I mean it certainly is affecting and everything, but it doesn't penetrate to some deeper layer. I'm in it when I'm in it.

निर्देशकों के बारे में मैंने जो सबसे अहम बात समझी और सीखी है, वह यह है कि जब वे खुद को लेकर पूरी तरह आश्वस्त होते हैं, तो वे दूसरे लोगों के रचनात्मक विचारों के लिए खुले रहते हैं। लेकिन अगर वे डरे हुए या घबराए हुए होते हैं, तो वे खुद को बंद कर लेते हैं और फिर किसी के भी विचारों की कोई कीमत नहीं रहती।
The thing I noticed, have learned the most about directors, is: when they're very confident in themselves, they're open to creativity from other people. If they're scared or nervous, then they shut off and nobody's ideas [count].

मुझे चीज़ों को बनाने की प्रक्रिया वाकई पसंद है। अपने करियर के बाद के दौर में, जैसे जब मेरा अपना टीवी शो था, तब मैं एक प्रोड्यूसर थी और मैंने कुछ अन्य प्रोजेक्ट्स में भी यह भूमिका निभाई है।
I do like the process of producing. Later in my career, like when I had the TV show, I was a producer and I've been on a few things.

चूँकि मेरे कुछ किरदारों को महिलाओं से बहुत प्यार मिला, इसलिए मैंने तुरंत इस बात पर गौर किया कि 21वीं सदी में हम छोटे बच्चों को जो दिखा रहे हैं, उसमें पुरुष किरदारों के मुकाबले महिला किरदार बहुत कम हैं, जो मेरे लिए बहुत हैरान करने वाला था। लेकिन मुझे ऐसा कोई दूसरा इंसान नहीं मिला जिसने इस बात पर ध्यान दिया हो।
Because I had some roles that resonated with women, I immediately noticed that there were far more male characters than female characters in what we're showing little kids in the 21st century, which was stunning to me. But I couldn't find anybody else who noticed.

सच कहूँ तो, मैं बहुत कम टीवी देखती हूँ। ऐसे कई शोज़ हैं जिन्हें मैं देखना चाहती हूँ, पर फिर मुझे पता है कि मुझे उनकी ऐसी लत लग जाएगी कि मुझे पूरा शो एक ही बार में देखना पड़ेगा।
I watch very little television, actually. There's so many shows I want to watch and then I know I'll get hooked and I have to binge-watch the entire thing.

युद्ध के दौरान अनगिनत महिलाओं ने हर संभव क्षेत्र में काम किया था। उनसे कहा गया, "अब आप यहाँ से जाएं ताकि पुरुष आ सकें," और फिर महिलाओं को बहुत ज़्यादा कमज़ोर, घरेलू और दबी-कुचली दिखाने का दौर शुरू हुआ: आपको बहुत ज़्यादा संकोची, आज्ञाकारी और जाने क्या-क्या बनना होगा।
There were so many women who had worked throughout the war in every possible job. They were told, "Now leave, so the men can come in" and there was this whole feminizing of women: You have to be very, very retiring and submissive and whatever.

मैंने बस अपने दोस्तों से पूछना शुरू किया कि क्या उन्होंने कभी इस बात पर ध्यान दिया है। उनमें से किसी ने भी—चाहे वे नारीवादी हों, माँएँ हों या बेटियाँ—तब तक ध्यान नहीं दिया था जब तक मैंने उन्हें इस बात का अहसास नहीं कराया। फिर मैंने इस मुद्दे को फिल्म उद्योग के भीतर उठाने का फैसला किया। मैं बहुत से लोगों को जानती थी, इसलिए जब भी मेरी किसी निर्देशक, निर्माता या किसी अन्य से मुलाक़ात होती, तो मैं पूछती, "क्या आपने कभी इस पर ध्यान दिया है कि बच्चों की फिल्मों में महिला किरदार इतने कम क्यों होते हैं?" और वे कहते, "अरे, पर अब ऐसा नहीं है।"
I just started asking my friends if they had noticed. None of them - feminists, mothers, daughters - noticed until I pointed it out. Then I decided to bring it up within the industry. I knew a lot of people, so I'd say, "Have you ever noticed how few female characters there are in kids movies?" when I met a director, a producer, whatever. And they said, "Oh, but that's not true anymore."

मुझे यह एहसास हुआ कि समाज के जिन भी क्षेत्रों में लिंग के आधार पर इतना बड़ा अंतर है, उनमें से एकमात्र जगह जिसे रातों-रात सुधारा जा सकता है, वह है पर्दे की दुनिया। ज़रा सोचिए, संसद में आधी आबादी या देश की कमान किसी महिला के हाथ में आना... हम चाहे कितनी भी मेहनत क्यों न कर लें, इसमें कुछ समय तो लगेगा ही। लेकिन आने वाले समय में कोई भी नई फिल्म बने, तो उसके बोर्ड के आधे सदस्य और आधे सीईओ महिलाएँ हो सकती हैं; यह संख्या बिल्कुल आधी हो सकती है।
I realized that in all the sectors of society where there's a huge gender disparity, the one place that can be fixed overnight is onscreen. You think about getting half of Congress, or the presidency ... It's going to take a while no matter how hard we work on it. But half of the board members and half of the CEOs can be women in the next movie somebody makes; it can be absolutely half.

[मेरी मौसी] मुझे मेरे पहले नाटक में भी ले गई थीं, जो एक डिनर थिएटर था। मुझे नहीं पता कि इंग्लैंड में ऐसा होता है या नहीं, लेकिन उसमें नाटक देखते हुए खाना खाया जाता है। और उन्होंने वाइन का एक ग्लास ऑर्डर किया। मैंने सोचा, "हे भगवान! यह तो सबसे ज़्यादा कूल और शानदार चीज़ है जो मैंने आज तक की है।"
[My aunt] took me to my first play, too, which was dinner theater. I don't know if they have that in England, but you eat a dinner while you watch a play. And she ordered a glass of wine. I was like, "Oh my God. This is, like, the most sophisticated thing I have ever done."

तब मैं करीब 16 साल की रही होंगी। [मेरी मौसी] ने महिलाओं के बारे में मेरी समझ का दायरा बढ़ाया कि वे क्या कुछ बन सकती हैं और क्या कर सकती हैं, और यह भी कि बाहर की दुनिया कितनी बड़ी है। इसलिए उनका मुझ पर बहुत गहरा प्रभाव पड़ा।
I was 16 or something. [My aunt] broadened my understanding of what women could be like and do and that there's a big world out there. So she had a huge impact on me.

एक बात बिल्कुल साफ़ और सीधी है। मेरी कोई बहुत इच्छा नहीं है कि मैं निर्देशन करूँ। मैं सचमुच चाहती हूँ कि मुझे कुछ अच्छे किरदार निभाने को मिलें।
One thing is a fairly simple and straightforward thing. I don't long to direct. I really want to get some good parts.

बच्चों के लिए मीडिया बनाने वाले क्रिएटर्स को इस बात का कोई अंदाज़ा नहीं था कि वे इतने सारे महिला किरदारों को छोड़ रहे हैं। वे इस बात से पूरी तरह सन्न थे कि वे जो दुनिया गढ़ रहे हैं, उसमें महिलाओं की मौजूदगी इतनी न के बराबर है।
The creators of kids' media had no idea they were leaving out that many female characters. They were in utter shock that the worlds they were creating were so bereft of female presences.

कैमरे के पीछे एक अलग ही समस्या है, जो मेरे ख्याल से अनजाने में होने वाला लैंगिक पक्षपात नहीं है। इसे शायद जानबूझकर किया जाने वाला लैंगिक पक्षपात कहा जाना चाहिए। क्योंकि हर कोई दशकों से इन आँकड़ों से वाकिफ़ है। यह सुनने पर कि महिला निर्देशक बहुत कम हैं—महज़ 4 या 7 प्रतिशत—कोई भी हैरान नहीं होता। हर कोई यह बात जानता है, लेकिन इससे कुछ भी नहीं बदलता। इससे लोगों के मुँह से यह नहीं निकलता, "अरे वाह! हमें इसे बदलना चाहिए।" कुछ नहीं होता। यह सब पूरी तरह से ठहरा हुआ है।
Behind the cameras, there's a different problem, which I think is not unconscious gender bias. It's probably categorized more as conscious gender bias. Because everybody's known the numbers for decades. Nobody's stunned to hear there are very few female directors, only 4 or 7 percent. Everybody knows, but it doesn't change anything. It doesn't make people say, "Wow! We should change that." Nothing happens. It's utterly stagnant.

मैंने तुरंत इस बात पर गौर किया कि कार्यक्रमों में, यहाँ तक कि आज 21वीं सदी में भी, महिला किरदारों के मुकाबले पुरुष किरदार कहीं अधिक हैं।
I immediately noticed there were far more male characters than female characters in the programs, even now, in the 21st century.

लंबे समय तक मेरा अपने बारे में नज़रिया काफ़ी कमज़ोर रहा। मैंने न्यूयॉर्क में एक मॉडल के रूप में अभिनय की दुनिया में कदम रखा था। मैं कभी "सुपरमॉडल" जैसी तो नहीं थी, लेकिन कुछ सालों तक मैंने इससे अपनी आजीविका ज़रूर चलाई। बात यह थी कि मैं इस बात को लेकर पूरी तरह आश्वस्त थी कि मैं हर किसी को यह झांसा दे रही हूँ कि मैं आकर्षक दिखती हूँ।
I had a pretty poor self-image for a long time. I broke into acting as a model in New York. I was never anything like a "supermodel," but I made a living at it for a couple years. The thing was, I was convinced that I was tricking everyone into thinking I was attractive.

मैं पहले बिल्कुल भी एथलेटिक नहीं थी। मैं हमेशा बहुत दुबली-पतली थी और अपनी लंबाई को लेकर काफ़ी असहज महसूस करती थी। मैंने खुद को यह यकीन दिला लिया था कि मुझमें शारीरिक संतुलन (कोऑर्डिनेशन) की कमी है। और इसी वजह से, मैं कुछ भी नया करने की कोशिश ही नहीं करना चाहती थी।
I used to be very unathletic. I was always so gangly and self-conscious about my height. I had convinced myself I was uncoordinated. And as a result, I didn't want to try stuff.

हाई स्कूल में मेरा मुख्य आकर्षण क्लास में सबसे लंबा बच्चा होना था। हमेशा। मैं हमेशा क्लास में सबसे लंबी बच्ची होती थी।
My thing in high school was being the tallest kid in class. Always. I was always the tallest kid in class.

मेरे हाथ-पैर बहुत लंबे थे और मुझे पूरा यकीन था कि मेरा अपने शरीर पर नियंत्रण नहीं होगा, इसलिए मैं कोई भी खेल खेलने से कतराती थी। और लड़कियों की बास्केटबॉल टीम मुझसे लगातार कहती थी, "प्लीज़, बस एक बार आकर खेलो।"
I was all limbs and I was very convinced that I must be uncoordinated, so I didn't want to try any sports. And the girls' basketball team was constantly like, "Please, please just come play."

मुझे एक ऐसी बेसबॉल खिलाड़ी की भूमिका के लिए चुना गया जो अब तक की सबसे बेहतरीन खिलाड़ी है। मुझे बेसबॉल तो दूर, किसी भी खेल को खेलना नहीं आता, लेकिन मैंने बहुत कड़ी ट्रेनिंग ली। वहाँ बहुत अच्छे कोच थे, और उन्होंने कहना शुरू किया, "वाह, तुम्हारे अंदर कुछ ऐसा एथलेटिक हुनर है जिसे अभी तक तलाशा नहीं गया है।"
I got cast playing the best baseball player anybody's ever seen. I don't know how to play any sport, including baseball, but I trained really hard. They had these great coaches, and they started saying, "Wow, you have some like really untapped athletic ability."

मैं किसी खेल को पेशेवर तरीके से अपनाना चाहती थी और यह देखना चाहती थी कि क्या सचमुच मुझमें कोई एथलेटिक हुनर है। और फिर संयोग से मैंने देखा कि वह अटलांटा ओलंपिक का समय था। उस दौरान तीरंदाज़ी की बहुत कवरेज हो रही थी क्योंकि अमेरिकी पुरुषों की टीम ने सारे मेडल जीत लिए थे। और मैंने सोचा, "वाह, यह कितना खूबसूरत है। और यह कितना नाटकीय और एक बेहतरीन खेल है। क्या मैं इसमें अच्छी साबित होऊँगी?"
I wanted to take up a sport the real way and see if I actually had athletic ability. And then I happened to see it was during the Atlanta Olympics. And there was a lot of coverage of archery because the U.S. men's team won all the medals. And I thought, "Wow, that's beautiful. And it's so dramatic, a beautiful sport. And I wonder if I would be good at it?"

अगर किसी बेहतरीन प्रोजेक्ट को सामने आने में दो-तीन साल लग जाते हैं, तो कोई बात नहीं, लेकिन मैं किसी शानदार चीज़ के लिए दस साल तक इंतज़ार नहीं करना चाहती।
It's okay if it takes two or three years for something really good to come along, but I don't want to wait ten years for something great to come along.

मेरी एक कोहनी उल्टी दिशा में मुड़ जाती है, और मैं कभी-कभी अजीब हरकतें करती थी जैसे लिफ्ट में खड़ी होना और जब दरवाज़े बंद होने लगते, तो मैं ऐसा नाटक करती कि मेरा हाथ उसमें फँस गया है, और फिर चिल्लाती, 'आह, आह, इसे वापस खोलो!'
I have an elbow that bends the wrong way, and I'd do things like stand in an elevator and the doors would close, and I'd pretend that my arm had got caught in it, and then I'd scream, 'Ow, ow, put it back!'
