میرے خیال میں جب آپ 'دی میٹرکس' جیسی کوئی جدید اور منفرد چیز بنا رہے ہوتے ہیں، تو سب کا 'نہیں' کہنے کا مطلب دراصل یہی ہوتا ہے کہ آپ بالکل درست راستے پر ہیں۔
I think when you're doing something cutting edge like 'The Matrix,' it might mean when everybody's saying 'no' that you're really on the right track.

مجھے 'انسمبل' (فنکاروں کی مشترکہ ٹیم) کی اصطلاح پسند نہیں۔ یہ مجھے بے جان سی لگتی ہے۔
I don't like the term 'ensemble.' It's bland to me.

فلموں میں، میں زیادہ سے زیادہ صرف ایک ہی چیز کی تلاش میں رہتی ہوں، اور وہ ہے صحیح سنجیدگی۔
What I keep searching for in movies, more and more, is the right gravity.

ہر ایک کا کوئی نہ کوئی پس منظر ہوتا ہے۔ ہر ایک کا ماضی ہوتا ہے۔ شروع سے آخر تک ہر انسان ایک جیسا نہیں ہوتا۔
Everybody has a background. Everybody has a past. Not everybody's the same person all the way through.

فلموں کو ایک خاص سمت میں لے جانے والی ایک اہم وجہ یہ ہے کہ ان کی آفٹر مارکیٹ ویلیو (نمائش کے بعد کی قدر) بہت تیزی سے گر رہی ہے، اور اس کے کئی شعبے متاثر ہو رہے ہیں، صرف ڈی وی ڈیز نہیں۔ پے ٹیلی ویژن بھی زوال کا شکار ہے۔
One of the things that's driving films in a particular direction is that the after market value of them is dropping really fast and in many segments of it, not just DVDs. Pay television is dropping.

بطور پروڈیوسر، میں زیادہ سے زیادہ اچھے لوگوں کو ساتھ لانے کی کوشش کرتی ہوں تاکہ یہ یقینی بنایا جا سکے کہ کوئی چیخ پکار نہ ہو، کوئی غصہ نہ ہو، کوئی بدمعاشی نہ ہو۔ جتنے زیادہ آپ ایسے اچھے لوگوں کو اکٹھا کریں گے، سیٹ پر ہر ایک کا تجربہ اتنا ہی بہتر ہوگا۔
As a producer, I try to bring as many nice people as I can to insure that there's no screaming, there's no shouting, there's no bullying. The more of those kind of people that you can bring together, the better the experience everyone has on set.

جو بات میری سمجھ میں نہیں آتی وہ یہ ہے کہ دراصل ہم آر-ریٹڈ (بزرگوں کے لیے مختص) فلمیں زیادہ کیوں نہیں بنا رہے ہیں۔
What I can't figure out is why we're not making more R-rated movies, actually.

میں یہ دیکھنے کے لیے بالکل نہیں دیکھتی کہ ناظرین کو یہ (پہلی اسکریننگ کے دوران فلم) پسند آئے گی یا نہیں۔ میں تو یہ سننا چاہتی ہوں کہ کوئی اس میں سوراخ کرنے (خامیاں نکالنے) کی کوشش کرے۔ میں یہ سننا چاہتی ہوں کہ انہوں نے اس کی منطق میں کہاں خرابی دیکھی یا وہ منظر کیوں ناقابل یقین لگا۔
I'm not looking for is the audience going to like it [the film during the first screening] or not. I want to hear somebody try to poke a hole in it. I want to hear why they saw the logic was flawed or why that scene was not believable.

پائریسی (غیر قانونی کاپی کرنے) کی شرح غیر معمولی ہے۔ لوگوں کو اندازہ ہی نہیں ہے کہ یہ مسئلہ کتنا سنگین ہے۔
The amount of piracy is extraordinary. People don't realize how big it is.

میرا تجربہ یہ کہتا ہے کہ آپ کے سامنے آنے والے کسی بھی طوفان کا آپ قطعی طور پر مقابلہ نہیں کر سکتے۔
My experience is that you can't possibly win against whatever the tidal wave is that's coming at you.

ایسا ڈائریکٹر ڈھونڈنا انتہائی مشکل ہے، جس کے پورے کام (کیریئر) کو دیکھ کر آپ کو اس کی ہر چیز پسند آئے۔
It's so hard to find a director who, when you look at their body of work, you like everything.

میرے خیال میں اسٹوڈیو چلانے سے مجھے مختلف قسم کی فلمیں بنانے کا شوق پیدا ہوا اور اس نے مجھے ایسا کرنے کا موقع بھی فراہم کیا۔
I think that running a studio gave me an appetite for making a lot of different kinds of movies and it's given me the opportunity to do that.

अगर स्टूडियो आपकी फ़िल्म को बेहतर बनाने के लिए पैसे खर्च करना चाहता है, तो उसे करने दीजिए।
If the studio wants to spend money on making your movie better, let them.

मेरा मतलब है, मैं किसी बात पर बिना वजह विरोध करने वाला इंसान नहीं हूँ।
I mean, I'm not a contrarian.

मैं आमतौर पर जिन एक्शन फ़िल्मों से जुड़ा रहा हूँ, उनमें जब किसी को घूँसा पड़ता है, तो उसका असर सचमुच महसूस होता है, और जब किसी को गोली लगती है, तो उसका दर्द वाकई महसूस होता है।
The action pictures I've been typically involved with, when somebody gets punched, you really feel the punching, and when somebody gets shot, you really feel the shot.

मेरे बैग में सात-आठ डीवीडी हैं, जिनमें से चार-पाँच पिछले तीन महीनों से वहीं पड़ी हैं और मैं उन्हें देखने के लिए बेताब हूँ।
My backpack has seven or eight DVDs in it and four or five of them have been there three months and I'm desperate to get to them.

पुराने दर्शकों और चुनिंदा ऐसे लोगों के साथ मेरे जो अनुभव हैं जिनसे मैं मिलता-जुलता हूँ, वे सब अर्नोल्ड [श्वॉज़नेगर] को धमाकेदार एक्शन करते देखना चाहते हैं।
My experiences with the older audience and, selectively, the people I hang out with or run into, they all want to see Arnold [Schwarzenegger] kick some ass.

मैं लगभग हर फ़िल्म में ख़ुद स्टंट किया करता था। जब मैं एक एग् काफ़ी ऊपर पहुँच गया, तो सारे बीमा वाले घबरा गए।
I used to do a stunt in almost every movie. When I became an executive, all the insurance guys freaked out.

अगर किसी किरदार की मौत हो, तो उसका असर महसूस होना चाहिए। अगर कोई किरदार कुछ हासिल करे, तो वह जीत महसूस होनी चाहिए। यही वह संतुलन है जिसे तलाशने की ज़रूरत होती है। इसे शब्दों में बयां करना मुश्किल है, यह तो बस काम के दौरान महसूस होता है। आपको बस इसे पहचानना होता है।
If a character dies, you should feel that. If a character accomplishes something, you should feel that. That's where you try to find that balance. It's impossible to articulate, as you go through it. You just have to recognize it.

लेकिन बुनियादी तौर पर, मैं इसे एलियन-आक्रमण वाली फ़िल्म नहीं मानता; आख़िर सब यहीं मौजूद हैं, है ना? इसलिए, अगर मुझे इसे कोई नाम देना ही हो, तो मैं इसे एक एक्शन-एडवेंचर फ़िल्म कहूँगा।
But fundamentally, I don't think of it as an alien-invasion movie; everybody's here, kind of, right? So, I think it's probably more of an action-adventure picture, if I actually had to qualify it.

मुझे लगता है कि ट्रांसफॉर्मर्स फ़िल्म बनाने का मज़ा यह है कि इसमें वह सब कुछ होता है। मुझे लगता है कि वैचारिक रूप से, यह फ़िल्म... चूंकि यह तीसरी फ़िल्म है, इसलिए इसमें आप ऐसे सवाल पूछ सकते हैं जो पिछली फ़िल्मों में नहीं पूछे जा सकते थे। जैसे मैंने इस बात का ज़िक्र किया था कि पिछली फ़िल्म में इंसानों ने उन्हें छोड़ दिया था; अब उनका नज़रिया बदल गया है, इसलिए हम अलग-अलग मुद्दों पर बात कर पाए हैं।
I think what's fun of making a Transformers movie is that it gets to be all of the above. I think, thematically, this movie is ... because of the third movie, you can ask questions in this movie you couldn't ask in the previous films. Like I was referring to the fact that they were abandoned by humans in the previous film; their attitude is different, so we've been able to tackle different themes.

हमारी दुनिया भयंकर आर्थिक अनिश्चितता का सामना कर रही है। महाशक्ति होने का मतलब अब बदल चुका है, और किसमें कितना दम है, इसकी परिभाषा भी बदल गई है।
Our world faces incredible economic uncertainty. The notion of what is a super power has evolved, and who actually can carry what muscle has changed.

मेरा हमेशा से यह मानना रहा है कि किसी भी तरह के हीरो के मामले में, आप यह यकीन करना चाहते हैं कि उसके फ़ैसले सही हैं। आख़िरकार, मैं उस व्यक्ति के सही और गलत के फ़ैसले पर भरोसा कर सकूँ। यहाँ तक कि किसी विजिलांटे (क़रार अपने हाथ में लेने वाले) फ़िल्म में भी, जहाँ आप परिभाषा के मुताबिक़ कानून के खिलाफ़ जा रहे होते हैं, तब भी दर्शक यही चाहते हैं कि वे आपके किरदार के कानून तोड़ने के फ़ैसले से सहमत हों।
I always believe, with any kind of hero, that you want to believe that their decision-making is right. That ultimately, I can trust what that guy's sense of right and wrong will be. Even in a vigilante movie, where you are going against the law by definition, you still want to agree with the fact that your character is breaking the law.

एक फ़िल्ममेकर के तौर पर आपको खुद से यह सवाल लगातार पूछते रहना चाहिए कि क्या हम वाकई दर्शकों को अपने 'वाओ' फैक्टर, बुद्धिमत्ता वाले फैक्टर या उस अप्रत्याशित मोड़ वाले फैक्टर से प्रभावित कर पा रहे हैं?
As a filmmaker you have to keep asking yourself the question are we really going to impress them [audience] either by the wow factor, the intelligence factor, the I didn't see that coming factor?

हमने कभी भी खिलौनों की रेंज से प्रेरणा नहीं ली। हमने हमेशा पौराणिक कथाओं से ही प्रेरणा ली है। अच्छी बात यह है कि हमारे पास ढेरों पौराणिक कथाएँ हैं, इसलिए प्रेरणा लेने के लिए हमेशा बहुत कुछ रहता है। यह कभी भी किसी फ़िल्म के लिए बिल्कुल सटीक नहीं बैठता; यह किसी किताब को ढालने या किसी अन्य चीज़ की तरह ही है, समझे ना? लेकिन आप नई चीज़ें गढ़ते हैं, अलग-अलग विचार लेकर आते हैं, और बुनियादी तौर पर विचार हमेशा पौराणिक कथाओं से ही शुरू होते हैं।
We've never pulled from the toy line. We've always pulled from the mythology. What's great is there's so much mythology, so there's always stuff to pull from that. It never lines up perfectly for a movie; it's just like adapting a book or anything else, you know? But you come up with things to create, you come up with different ideas, but fundamentally the ideas always start from the mythology.
