आजकल के पॉप स्टार्स को देखकर ऐसा लगता है जैसे उन्हें किसी मार्केटिंग मीटिंग में गढ़ा गया हो और फिर उस सांचे में ढालने के लिए किसी को ढूंढ लिया गया हो।
When you look at sort of pop stardom now, some of these singers, it seems like the idea of them was created in a marketing meeting, and then they just found someone to sort of fulfill that role.

लेकिन जब आप किसी किरदार को इतनी गहराई से जान जाते हैं, तो आपके मन में ऐसे कई विचार और बातें आने लगती हैं जिन्हें आप अपने हिट शो की स्क्रिप्ट की सीमाओं के कारण पर्दे पर नहीं दिखा पाते।
But when you get to know a character so well, you start to have insights that you can't show because you're confined to your script of your hit show.

यह बड़ी अजीब बात है—फ्रैंकी वैली की कहानी और क्रिस्टोफर वॉकेन के किरदार ने उन्हें जो सलाह दी थी, वह रचनात्मक क्षेत्र से जुड़े किसी भी इंसान के लिए एकदम सच साबित होती है।
It's funny - Frankie Valli's story and that advice that he was just getting from, you know, Christopher Walken's character, is very true for someone who's in a creative field.

मुझे लगता है कि आप इस किरदार को नहीं निभा सकते थे या खुद फ्रैंकी वैली नहीं बन सकते थे, जब तक कि आपकी आवाज़ में स्वाभाविक तौर पर फालसेटो (स्त्री जैसी या पतली ऊँची आवाज़) न हो। मैंने बचपन या जवानी में ही एक इत्तेफ़ाक से इसे खोज लिया था, जब आपको एहसास होता है कि आपके पास कोई ऐसा हुनर है जिसका कोई खास इस्तेमाल तो नहीं है, और आप बस पार्टियों में, दोस्तों को हंसाने के लिए या अपनी गर्लफ्रेंड्स को चिढ़ाने के लिए उसका इस्तेमाल करते हैं।
I think you couldn't do this role or you couldn't be Frankie Valli himself unless you had a natural falsetto. And I had sort of discovered it by accident as a child or a young adult when you realize you have a special skill that you don't really have any use for you, and you just take it out at parties or to amuse your friends or to annoy your girlfriends.

मैंने अपने काम को सिर्फ मंच या पर्दे तक ही सीमित रखना सीख लिया है।
I've learned to keep my work on the stage or on the screen.

मुझे लगता है कि फ्रैंकी वैली ने सब कुछ सही किया। वह गाते रहे। और आपको यह भी याद रखना होगा कि वह एक खास माहौल में पले-बढ़े थे—यानी न्यू जर्सी के बेलेविल की गलियों के उन इतालवी लड़कों की दुनिया, जिनका कानून से दूर-दूर का वास्ता था। तो उन्होंने अपनी राह खुद ढूंढ ही ली।
I think Frankie Valli did everything right. He kept singing. And you also have to remember, he was confined to a certain society, which was this sort of like - the wrong side of the law kind of society of Italian guys from the streets of Belleville, New Jersey. So he found his way.

मंच पर लाइव दर्शकों के सामने परफॉर्म करना एक बेहतरीन अनुभव था।
It was great to play for a live audience on a stage.

यह मेरे लिए एक सुखद आश्चर्य और इत्तेफ़ाक था कि मेरे अंदर ऐसा हुनर (स्वाभाविक फालसेटो) छिपा हुआ था, जिसे मैं इस्तेमाल कर सकता था। और इतने बड़े शो में फ्रैंकी वैली का शानदार किरदार निभाने के लिए यही सबसे बड़ी कुंजी साबित हुई।
It was a surprise to me and a happy accident that it was such a skill [natural falsetto] - a latent skill and that there was a way to exploit it. And it was a key to playing great role Frankie Valli in such a huge show.

मुझे यह जानकर बहुत खुशी होती है कि आज कोई ऐसा बच्चा या किशोर होगा जिसे शायद कभी मेरा ब्रॉडवे पर किया गया परफॉर्मेंस देखने का मौका न मिला हो, लेकिन अब क्लिंट ईस्टवुड की इस फिल्म को देखकर उसे अंदाजा हो सकता है कि वह अनुभव कैसा रहा होगा।
I'm kind of happy to know there may be some kid or teenager now who might never have had the chance to see my Broadway performance, but gets a taste for what it might have been like now, because they can see Clint Eastwood's film."

मैं जर्सी के लहजे से वाकिफ नहीं हूँ। इसलिए जब मैंने गाने की तैयारी की, तो एक अभिनेता की तरह इसे एक बोली या लहजे के रूप में लिया, बिल्कुल एक गायक की तरह।
I don't have a Jersey dialect. So when I approached the singing, I approached it the same way as an actor I approach a dialect, just as a singer.

मैंने फ्रैंकी वैली की नकल करने की पूरी कोशिश की, लेकिन उनकी अंधी नकल नहीं की, क्योंकि मुझे लगता है कि सिर्फ नकल करना देखने में उतना दिलचस्प नहीं लगता।
I definitely worked really hard to evoke Frankie Valli, but not do a strict imitation, because I feel that a strict imitation is not as compelling to watch.

मैं जानता हूँ कि मेरी पीढ़ी के लिए—अगर वह फिल्म न बनी होती जिसमें रॉबर्ट प्रेस्टन ने काम किया था, तो हम कभी नहीं जान पाते कि 'द म्यूजिक Man' में उनका परफॉर्मेंस कैसा था। मैंने तो बस अपने समय से बहुत पहले ब्रॉडवे पर उनके शानदार काम के चर्चे सुने थे।
I know, for me, you know, my generation - I never would have known anything about Robert Preston's performance in 'The Music Man' if there hadn't been a film where he played the part. I just heard how great he was on Broadway way before my time.

मुझे लगता है कि इन युवा गायकों की शुरुआत इस तरह होती थी कि वे आखिरकार किसी न किसी क्लब में पहुँच जाते थे। उनमें से कई क्लबों पर माफिया का कब्ज़ा था। इसलिए वहाँ एक तरह का अघोषित माफिया संरक्षण भी होता था, जो उस दौर के संगीत इतिहास का एक बहुत ही दिलचस्प पहलू है।
I think one of the ways that these young singers got started is that they would end up in clubs. And a lot of them were mafia owned. And so there was almost an unspoken kind of mafia sponsorship, which is just a very interesting part of that area's music history.

बचपन में मुझे हॉलीवुड के म्यूजिकल बहुत पसंद थे और मैं जानता हूँ कि ब्रॉडवे पर मूल किरदार निभाने वाले कलाकार के लिए परदे पर भी वही भूमिका निभाना कितना दुर्लभ होता है।
I was a Hollywood musical fan as a kid, and I know how rare it is for someone who originates the Broadway role to get to then do it on screen.

मैं गानों की तैयारी करते समय अपने दिमाग में लहजे (डायलॉग) वाली बात रखता हूँ। फ्रैंकी वैली का वह अंदाज़ लाने के लिए मुझे कुछ खास जगहों पर बिल्कुल वैसे ही आवाज़ निकालनी पड़ती है।
I approach the singing kind of like with dialect thoughts in my mind. I have to sound like this on certain things to give that Frankie Valli flavor.
