मैंने न्यूयॉर्क में जोज़ पब में अपने पहले शो किए थे; मैंने चार शो किए, लेकिन सुबह-सुबह कोई 30 इंटरव्यू और कुछ रेडियो शो भी कर डाले, जिससे मेरी आवाज़ पूरी तरह बैठ गई। यह वाकई बहुत बुरा अनुभव था।

The first ones I played were in New York at Joe's Pub; I played four shows, but I did something like 30 interviews and a couple radio shows in the mornings and completely blew out my voice. It kind of sucked.

आप हमेशा कुछ नया और नई प्रेरणा तलाशने की कोशिश करते रहते हैं। यदि आप खुद को पूरी तरह नहीं झोंकते और कुछ ऐसा करने की कोशिश नहीं करते जो आपको रोमांचित करे, तो फिर उसे करने का कोई फायदा नहीं है।

जब आप पीछे मुड़कर अपनी पुरानी तस्वीरें देखते हैं या कोई पुराना गाना सुनते हैं, तो आपको पता चल जाता है कि वह कहाँ से आया था या आप उस पर क्यों काम कर रहे थे—लेकिन आप वही चीज़ दोबारा नहीं करना चाहते। ऐसा नहीं है कि आप उससे नफरत करते हैं, लेकिन अब आप एक बिल्कुल अलग इंसान बन चुके हैं, इसलिए उस लिहाज से आप वैसा दोबारा नहीं करना चाहते।

You look back and see pictures of yourself, or hear an old song, and you know where that came from or why you were working on that - but you don't want to do that again. You don't necessarily hate it, but you're a very different person now, so, in that way you do.

पहले मैं गानों के वोकल्स (बोल) को सबसे ऊपर रखता था और फिर उन्हें आपस में जोड़ता था। अब मैं वोकल्स से शुरुआत करता हूँ और स्ट्रिंग पार्ट्स खुद लिखता हूँ; ड्रम को मैं बाद में सोचता हूँ। और कौन जाने, शायद आगे चलकर यह तरीका मुझे बोरिंग लगने लगे, लेकिन फिलहाल यह मेरे लिए सबसे दिलचस्प तरीका है।

I used to put the vocals on top and piece it together. Now I start with the vocals and the string parts I write; the drums are kind of an afterthought. And who knows, maybe that will get boring, but right now that's the most interesting way for me.

मज़ेदार बात यह है कि हमने जिस स्टूडियो में रिकॉर्डिंग की, वह वही स्टूडियो था जहाँ फ्रैंक सिनात्रा, बिंग क्रॉस्बी और नैट किंग कोल सीबीएस रेडियो जाने से पहले सड़क के उस पार अपनी आवाज़ को गर्म (वार्म अप) किया करते थे। उसके मालिक ने उसे बिल्कुल वैसा ही संभाल कर रखा है जैसी वह 1925 में थी। यह कितना शानदार इत्तेफाक था कि हम उसी कमरे में बैठकर वैसी ही चीज़ों से प्रेरित संगीत बना रहे थे। यह वाकई अविश्वसनीय था।

The funny thing is that the studio that we recorded in was the same studio that Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole used to warm up their voices in before they went across the street to CBS Radio. The owner has preserved it exactly the way it was in 1925. It was such a perfect coincidence that we were doing music inspired by that stuff in that room. It was incredible.

जब हमने 'द वॉकमेन' का पिछला रिकॉर्ड 'हेवन' पूरा किया था, तब मैं गाने लिख रहा था, और हो सकता है कि इनमें से कुछ गानों पर काम 'हेवन' के पूरा होने से पहले ही शुरू हो गया हो। 'द वॉकमेन' के साथ हम सब बहुत कुछ अकेले ही लिखते थे, और फिर एक-दूसरे के साथ मिलकर उस पर काम शुरू करते थे।

I was writing music when we finished the last Walkmen record, Heaven, and a few of these songs may have even been started before Heaven was done. With The Walkmen we all wrote a lot of stuff alone, but then we'd start collaborating with each other.

मैं हमेशा संगीत लिखता रहता हूँ। मैं एक तरह से इसके प्रति जुनूनी हूँ, चाहे वह अच्छे के लिए हो या बुरे के लिए। यह अच्छी बात है कि यह मुझे आगे बढ़ाता रहता है, लेकिन यह बुरी भी है क्योंकि यह एक ऐसे जूनून की तरह है जहाँ आप चाहकर भी कभी-कभी रुक नहीं पाते, यह रात की आपकी नींद उड़ा देता है और आपके पूरे सप्ताहांत (वीकेंड) को खराब कर सकता है।

I'm always writing music. I sort of do it obsessively, for good or for bad. It's good that it keeps me going, but it's bad because it really is sort of like an obsession where you can't stop sometimes and it'll keep you up at night and ruin your weekend.

मैं अपने दोस्त के घर रुका था और उसने मुझे 'प्रेडनिसोन' नाम की दवा के बारे में बताया। इसे जानने में मुझे 14 साल लग गए। इन सालों में कई ऐसे मौके आए थे जब इस दवा ने मेरी बहुत मदद की होती। हालांकि मुझे विश्वास ही नहीं होता कि मैंने इसके बारे में कभी सुना तक नहीं था।
