मुझे यह समझ आया कि मैं कभी भी अपने मेहमानों के जीवन की सच्ची कहानी पूरी तरह नहीं जान सकता; मुझे इस बात से ही संतुष्ट रहना पड़ता है कि जब मैं किसी का इंटरव्यू ले रहा होता हूँ, तो मुझे तथ्य, सच्चाई, खुद की गढ़ी गई कहानियों, आत्म-छल, चुनिंदा यादों और गलत यादों का एक मिला-जुला रूप मिल रहा होता है।
I learned that I never really know the true story of my guests' lives, that I have to content myself with knowing that when I'm interviewing somebody, I'm getting a combination of fact and truth and self-mythology and self-delusion and selective memory and faulty memory.

मैं हमेशा से चीज़ों को लेकर बेहद उत्सुक और दुनिया को लेकर थोड़ा उलझन में रहा हूँ, और मुझे लगता है कि जो व्यक्ति ऐसा महसूस करता है, वह सवाल पूछने की स्थिति में सबसे बेहतर होता है।
I've always been really curious about things and slightly confused by the world, and I think someone who feels that way is in a good position to be the one asking questions.

कहने का मतलब है कि पिताजी का — जानते हैं न — पिताजी का सबसे दोस्ताना लहजा भी किसी चीख की तरह होता था।

मैं जितने भी ऐसे लोगों को जानता हूँ जिनके लिए उनका काम बेहद मायने रखता है, उन्हें इसके लिए हर वक्त काम करते रहने की कीमत चुकानी पड़ती है।
Most people I know that have work that is very meaningful to them pay the price of having to work all the time.

यदि आपको विचारों में रुचि है, तो रेडियो टेलीविज़न की तुलना में कहीं अधिक शुद्ध माध्यम है। यहाँ आप किसी की नाक, बाल या बैठने के ढंग से विचलित नहीं होते। आप वास्तव में यह देख पाते हैं कि कोई कैसे सोचता है और उस व्यक्ति के मूल सार तक पहुँच सकते हैं।
If you are interested in ideas, radio is way more pure than television. You're not distracted by somebody's nose or hair or posture. You can really see how someone thinks and penetrate to the essence of who that person is.

जो भी व्यक्ति इंटरव्यू के लिए सहमत होता है, उसे यह तय करना होता है कि सार्वजनिक और निजी जीवन के बीच की रेखा कहाँ खींची जाए। लेकिन यह रेखा सवाल पूछने वाले के आधार पर बदल सकती है। कोई व्यक्ति जिस चीज़ से असहज महसूस करता है, वह जरूरी नहीं कि 'पकड़े जाने' का डर हो। कभी-कभी यह सिर्फ गलत समझे जाने का डर होता है।
Anyone who agrees to be interviewed must decide where to draw the line between what is public and what is private. But the line can shift, depending on who is asking the questions. What puts someone on guard isn't necessarily the fear of being 'found out.' It sometimes is just the fear of being misunderstood.

मुझे तब बहुत बुरा लगता है जब लोग किसी वेब प्रकाशन के लिए लिखते हैं और उन्हें इसके बदले में न के बराबर या कुछ नहीं मिलता, या फिर वे दुनिया के बेहतरीन अखबारों को पढ़ना तो चाहते हैं लेकिन उसके लिए एक पैसा भी नहीं चुकाना चाहते। उन अखबारों को चलाने के लिए पैसों की जरूरत होती है।
It bothers me when people, say, you know, write for, you know, a web publication and get paid little or nothing or, you know, expecting to, like, read the best newspapers in the world and not pay a cent for it. Those newspapers need money in order to operate.

मेरे लिए रोमांच उस प्रसिद्ध व्यक्ति का इंटरव्यू लेने में नहीं है जिसे पाना मुश्किल हो, बल्कि उस व्यक्ति से है जिसे आप अभी-अभी तलाशने वाले हैं। जैसे कि शायद वे चरित्र अभिनेता जो अभी अपनी पहचान बना रहे हैं और आपको एहसास होता है कि वे कितने शानदार हैं।
The excitement for me lies not so much in interviewing the hard-to-get famous person, but the person whom you are about to discover. You know, like maybe the character actors who are just coming into their own and you're realizing how great they are.

मैं सचमुच जिंदगी से छोटा हूँ। मैं एक साधारण दिखने वाला इंसान हूँ। मैंने लोगों को मुझसे मिलने पर अपनी निराशा को छिपाने की कोशिश करते देखा है, और फिर मुझे यह देखना होता है कि वे इस बात से कैसे उबरते हैं।
I am literally smaller than life. I am an unextraordinary-looking person. I've seen people trying to hide their disappointment when they meet me, and I have to watch them get over it.

मुझे लगता है कि रेडियो पर इंटरव्यू का प्रारूप सबसे अच्छे तरीके से काम करता है। किसी व्यक्ति की आवाज में, उनकी बात कहने के ritmo (लय) में या उनकी आवाज के आत्मविश्वास में उनके व्यक्तित्व के कई गुण झलकतें हैं।
I think the interview form works best on the radio. There are a lot of personality traits conveyed in a person's voice, the rhythm of their speech or how confident they sound.

मेरे माता-पिता कई चीज़ों को लेकर काफी खुले विचारों वाले थे, खासकर मेरी माँ। मैं जिस भी तरह की छोटी-मोटी अजीब चीज़ों में दिलचस्पी लेता था, वह हमेशा मेरा पूरा समर्थन करती थीं। चाहे वह बीएमएक्स बाइक रेसिंग हो, स्काउट्स में शामिल होना हो, सर्फिंग करना हो या कुछ और, वह हमेशा हर चीज़ में मेरा साथ देती थीं। और मुझे लगता है कि ऐसा इसलिए था क्योंकि वह एक अप्रवासी थीं और उनके लिए यह बात बहुत मायने रखती थी कि उनके बच्चों को उनके सपनों को जीने की आज़ादी मिले और वे जिस भी राह पर चलना चाहें, उसे पूरा कर सकें।
My parents were pretty open about a lot of things, especially my mom. And any kind of little crazy thing I was into, she was very supportive of. You know, whether it was BMX bike racing or being in the Boy Scouts or surfing or anything else, she always seemed to sort of support it. And I think it's because she was an immigrant and that idea of sort of having her kids be able to have access to their dreams and whatever they wanted to follow was very important to her.

अस्सी के दशक के उत्तरार्ध से नब्बे के दशक का वह दौर वाकई ऐसा था जब संगीत बेहद नया, ताज़ा, ऊर्जावान, और साथ ही रचनात्मक था। तब तक इसका पूरी तरह से व्यापारीकरण (कॉर्पोरेटाइजेशन) नहीं हुआ था।
That era in the late '80s through the '90s was really when the music was so new, fresh, energetic, but still creative. It hadn't quite gotten corporatized yet.

जब हम बच्चे थे, तो हमारे पिता बड़े विनम्र तरीके से खुद को 'द ग्रेट सैंटिनी' कहकर बुलाते थे। और मुझे बाद में पता चला कि जब वे लड़के थे, तो उन्होंने एक हवा में करतब दिखाने वाले कलाकार (एरियलइस्ट) को देखा था, और वे अपने हवाई जहाज में कलाबाजी कर रहे थे, और जब वे एक बार नीचे उतरे - जब वे एक युवा लेफ्टिनेंट थे - तो उन्होंने कहा था, आज मैंने 'द ग्रेट सैंटिनी' से भी बेहतर प्रदर्शन किया। और दूसरे पायलटों ने यह सुन लिया, और वह उपनाम हमेशा के लिए उनके साथ जुड़ गया।
My father modestly referred to himself as the Great Santini when we were growing up. And he took it - I later learned he had seen a high-wire aerialist when he was a boy, and he was up doing acrobatics in his airplane, and when he came down one time - when was a young lieutenant - he said, I was better than the Great Santini today. And some of the other pilots heard it, and the nickname stuck.

कई कलाकार इंसान होने का मतलब क्या है, यह टटोलने के लिए अपने ही जीवन को एक तरह के केस स्टडी के रूप में इस्तेमाल करते हैं।
Many artists use their own lives as a kind of case study to examine what it's like to be human.

मतलब, पापा ऐसे इंसानों में से थे जो हारना बिल्कुल बर्दाश्त नहीं कर सकते थे, समझे? कोई बच्चा भी उन्हें हरा दे तो वो बौखला जाते थे। जब भी कोई बच्चा उस मोड़ पर पहुँचता—यानी वो पल जो आना ही है—तो उनका दिमाग़ ख़राब हो जाता था। मतलब, पापा 'ओल्ड मेड्स' का खेल भी ऐसे खेलते थे जैसे कोई फ़ुटबॉल का मैच हो। उन्हें बस हर हाल में, हर बार, हर चीज़ में जीतना ही होता था।
I mean, Dad was one of these people who simply could not lose, you know? He could not stand it when a kid was beating him. He would go crazy when the child came to that moment, which, you know, you have to come to - I mean, Dad played Old Maids like he played football. He just simply had to win every single thing every single time.

इस बात ने मेरी ज़िंदगी बदल दी क्योंकि मैंने सोचा कि कोई बेचारी महिला, जिससे मैं कभी मिला भी नहीं हूँ, अमरीका या इस दुनिया में कहीं घूम रही होगी और उसे ये तक नहीं पता होगा कि उसे मुझ जैसे इंसान से थप्पड़ खाने पड़ेंगे। और आने वाली नस्लें, जो अभी पैदा भी नहीं हुईं, उन्हें ये तक नहीं पता होगा कि वे एक ऐसे शख़्स के परिवार में जन्म लेने जा रही हैं जो बच्चों को पीटता है, और ये सब सिर्फ़ इसलिए क्योंकि मैं ऐसा था। तो इस बात का मुझ पर बहुत गहरा असर पड़ा।
The line changed my life 'cause I thought of some poor woman I hadn't even met walking around the United States or the world not knowing she's going to be beaten up by me and these kids, unborn, not knowing they were going to be born into the family of a child-beater just because I was. So it really did have a great effect on me.

जीन वाइल्डर ने "बनी एंड क्लाइड" से फ़िल्मों में अपनी शुरुआत की, मेल ब्रूक्स की फ़िल्मों "द प्रोड्यूसर्स", "यंग फ्रेंकस्टीन" और "ब्लेजिंग सैडल्स" में मुख्य भूमिकाएँ निभाईं, "सिल्वर स्ट्रीक" और "स्टिर क्रेज़ी" में रिचर्ड प्रायर के साथ काम किया, और "विली वोंका एंड द चॉकलेट फ़ैक्टरी" में चॉकलेट बनाने वाले का किरदार निभाया।
Gene Wilder made his movie debut in "Bonnie And Clyde," starred in the Mel Brooks films "The Producers," "Young Frankenstein" and "Blazing Saddles," played opposite Richard Pryor in "Silver Streak" and "Stir Crazy" and portrayed the candy-maker in "Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory."

तो 'द ग्रेट सैंटिनी' वह नाम था जिससे वह अपने बच्चों द्वारा पुकारा जाना पसंद करते थे। वह अपने सातों बच्चों को लाइन में खड़ा करते थे, और हमारा एक नियम था जिसका हम पालन करते थे। वह पूछते, "सबसे महान कौन है?" और हम सातों जवाब देते, "आप हैं, ओ महामहिम सैंटिनी।" फिर वह पूछते, "कौन सब कुछ जानता है, सब कुछ सुनता है और सब कुछ देखता है?" "आप, ओ महामहिम सैंटिनी।" तो इस अजीबोगरीब तरीक़े से मेरा पालन-पोषण हुआ था।
So the Great Santini was how he liked being referred to by his children. He would line up his seven children, and there was this ritual we'd go through. And he would say, who's the greatest of them all? And we - the seven - would say, you are, oh, Great Santini. And he would say, who knows all, hears all and sees all? You do, oh, Great Santini. So this was the ridiculous way I was raised.

तो जब वह किताब आई, तो मेरी माँ ने मेरे पिता को छोड़कर हम सबको हैरान कर दिया। किताब आने के शायद तीन महीने पहले, उन्होंने मेरे पिता को उस दिन छोड़ दिया जिस दिन वह मरीन कॉर्प्स से रिटायर हुए थे। वहाँ एक परेड और मार्च हुआ था, और वह घर आईं और उन्हें छोड़कर चली गईं।
So when the book came out, my mother stunned us all by leaving my father. I think three months before the book came out, she left my father the day he retired from the Marine Corps. They had a parade and march, and she came home and left.

हम एक ऐसे परिवार में पले-बढ़े जो हर बात से इनकार करने की प्रवृत्ति रखता था। जो लोग सालों से हमें जानते थे, वे 'द ग्रेट सैंटिनी' के आने पर हैरान रह गए क्योंकि हमारी छवि एक ऐसे बड़े, हँसमुख और खुशहाल परिवार की थी जो हमेशा मुस्कुराता रहता था। हमें मुस्कुराना और हर हाल में अपनी बेहतरीन छवि बनाए रखना सिखाया गया था। और इसलिए जब किताब छप कर आई—जिसमें पापा द्वारा हमें कमरे में यहाँ-वहाँ पीटने का ज़िक्र था—तो किसी ने मेरी बात पर विश्वास नहीं किया।
We grew up as this family of deniers. And people who knew us for years were stunned when "The Great Santini" came out because we had this appearance of being this happy, large, smiling family. We were taught to smile, put the best face forward. And so when the book ended up - Dad swatting us around the room, no one believed me.

डोनाल्ड ट्रंप ने हिलेरी [क्लिंटन] की आलोचना जिन बातों को लेकर की है, उनमें से एक यह है कि उन्होंने उन महिलाओं को झूठा साबित किया जिन्होंने यह कहा था कि उनके पति के साथ उनके अफ़ेयर रहे हैं या उनके पति ने उनका यौन उत्पीड़न किया था।
One of the things Donald Trump has criticized Hillary [Clinton] for is discrediting women who said they'd had affairs or been sexually harassed by her husband.

अफ़्रीकी-अमरीकी हास्य और यहूदी हास्य के बीच एक दिलचस्प फ़र्क़ यह है कि अगर इसके सबसे बुनियादी या सीधे रूप को देखें, तो अफ़्रीकी-अमरीकी हास्य का एक हिस्सा 'प्लेइंग द डोज़ेंस' से आता है जिसमें आप दूसरे व्यक्ति या उसकी माँ का मज़ाक़ उड़ाते हैं, जबकि इसके विपरीत यहूदी हास्य काफ़ी हद तक ऐसा होता है जहाँ आप ख़ुद का मज़ाक़ उड़ाते हैं। यह पूरी तरह से ख़ुद पर हँसने या अपनी खिल्ली उड़ाने वाला होता है।
An interesting difference between African-American humor and Jewish humor, in it's kind of basic or maybe most austere type form is, African-American humor, some of it comes out of playing the dozens in which you insult the other person or insult the other person's mother, and so much of Jewish humor is like, you're insulting yourself. It's totally self-deprecating.

जब हमारी बात हुई, तो जीन वाइल्डर ने हाल ही में "किस मी लाइक ए स्ट्रेंजर" नाम से अपनी आत्मकथा लिखी थी। यह शीर्षक उनकी दिवंगत पत्नी गिल्डा रैडनर ने 1989 में अपनी मौत से तीन हफ़्ते पहले सुझाया था।
When we spoke, Gene Wilder had just written a memoir called "Kiss Me Like A Stranger." The title was suggested by his late wife Gilda Radner three weeks before she died in 1989.

मुझे लगता है कि ख़ास तौर पर छोटे बच्चों के मामले में, जिनके आस-पास ज़्यादा सकारात्मक माहौल नहीं होता, पॉप संस्कृति उनकी अपनी पहचान तलाशने और ख़ुद को परिभाषित करने का एक बहुत बड़ा हिस्सा बन जाती है।
I think in particularly with young kids who don't have a lot of positive influences, pop culture almost becomes a larger part of that self-discovery and how you define yourself.

पापा ने न जाने क्यों—मेरी समझ से परे है—अपनी फ़ैमिली को मरीन प्लाटून (सैनिक टुकड़ी) समझ लिया था। मतलब, वह स्क्वाड्रन, बटालियन या प्लाटून को अनुशासित करने के लिए जिस तरीक़े का इस्तेमाल करते थे, बिल्कुल वही तरीक़ा उन्होंने अपने बच्चों को अनुशासित करने में भी अपनाया। वह घर ऐसे चलाते थे—हम बच्चों के लिए शनिवार की सुबह परेड होती थी, हमारे लिए व्हाइट-ग्लव (सफेद दस्ताने पहनकर) इंस्पेक्शन होता था।
Dad mistook - for some reason unbeknownst to me - he mistook his family for a platoon of Marines. I mean, he - the exact same thing he brought to the disciplining of a squadron, a battalion, a platoon, he brought to the disciplining of his children. He ran the house - he had Saturday morning inspections for us, he had white-glove inspections for us as kids.

मैं जानता हूँ कि जो लोग भी रेडियो सुनते हैं, वे आपके बारे में एक ऐसी मानसिक छवि बना लेते हैं जो वे चाहते हैं कि आपकी हो। वो जैसी भी हो, मैंने सोचा, उन्हें वैसी ही छवि बनाने दो। जो श्रोता चाहते हैं, मुझे वही बनने दो और अपनी असली तस्वीर सामने लाकर उस छवि को खंडित न होने दो, जिससे उन्हें निराशा का जोखिम उठाना पड़े।
I know that everyone who listens to radio creates you in a visual image that they need you to have. Whatever that is, I thought, let them have it. Let me be who the listener needs me to be and let me not contradict that with the reality of my photograph and risk disappointing them.

मैंने कभी भी रेडियो को कोई छोटा-मोटा मंच या लोअर लीग नहीं माना, जहाँ मैं बस उस असली शो में जाने की तैयारी कर रहा हूँ जो असल में मायने रखता है, यानी टेलीविज़न। अक्सर लोग ऐसा ही सोचते हैं, लेकिन मैंने कभी ऐसा महसूस नहीं किया।
I've never seen radio as the minor leagues, where I'm just really preparing to be in the show that really counts, namely, television, which is, I think, what people often assume. I've never felt that way.

मैं सोच रहा हूँ कि क्या रोजर एल्स का कांड, जिसमें 20 से ज़्यादा महिलाओं ने सामने आकर उन पर यौन उत्पीड़न का आरोप लगाया है, उस दुष्प्रचार को प्रभावित करेगा जो हिलेरी [क्लिंटन] और उनके पति के अवैध संबंधों को लेकर उनके ख़िलाफ़ चलाया जा रहा है।
I'm wondering if the Roger Ailes scandal in which more than 20 women have come forward accusing him of sexual harassment is going to affect that narrative that's directed against Hillary [Clinton] and her husband pertaining to his infidelities.

कभी-कभी जब मैं इंटरनेट पर होता हूँ, तो मेरे सामने ऐसा विकल्प आता है जैसे—आप इन विज्ञापनों में से किसे देखना पसंद करेंगे? और मेरे पास गाड़ी, किसी दवा या फिर कपड़ों के विकल्प होते हैं। और मैं सोचता हूँ, मुझे इनमें से कुछ भी नहीं चाहिए। क्या मुझे फिर भी इनमें से चुनना ही होगा?
Sometimes when I'm on the internet, I'll get this, like, which of these ad experiences would you prefer? And I'll have a choice of, like, a car, a pharmaceutical item or, you know, clothing. And I'm thinking, like, I don't want any of these. Do I have to choose?

मैं इस बात में काफ़ी दिलचस्पी रखता हूँ कि मेहमानों को किसने तय किया है, लीना डनहम को बुलाने का फ़ैसला किसने लिया है और उन माओं को बुलाने का फ़ैसला किसने लिया जिनके बेटों—पुलिस द्वारा गोली मारे गए बेटों और बेटियों—को गोली मारी गई थी, और इसके अलावा अन्य कलाकारों, पॉल साइमन और एलिसिया कीज़ को किसने चुना है।
I'm really interested in, who's booked the guests, who's decided to have Lena Dunham and to have the mothers of sons who were shot - sons and daughters who were shot by the police and, you know, the other performers, Paul Simon and Alicia Keys.

जितने प्रतिनिधि (डेलिगेट्स) उन्हें मिले थे, उसके आधार पर 'द न्यूयॉर्क टाइम्स' ने यह ख़बर छापी कि हिलेरी [क्लिंटन] ने प्राइमरी चुनाव में लगभग जीत पक्की कर ली है, क्योंकि आपने अपने पहले से जीते गए डेलिगेट्स में सुपरडेलिगेट्स को भी जोड़ लिया था। लेकिन यह सब कैलिफ़ोर्निया और न्यू जर्सी के प्राइमरी चुनावों की पूर्व संध्या पर हुआ था।
Based on the number that they found, The New York Times reported that Hillary [Clinton] had basically clinched the primary 'cause you added the superdelegates to the number of delegates you'd already gotten. But this was on the eve of the California and New Jersey primary.

बर्नार्ड [सैंडर्स] के प्रचार अभियान का कहना था कि ऐसा करके आप वोटिंग को कमज़ोर कर रहे हैं क्योंकि उन राज्यों के लोग यह सोचकर घर बैठ सकते हैं कि उनके वोट की कोई अहमियत नहीं है।
The [Bernie] Sanders campaign said you might be suppressing the vote by doing this 'cause people in those states might decide to stay home, that their vote doesn't count.

और नियम इतने साफ़ थे कि आप उनसे ज़रा भी इधर-उधर नहीं हो सकते थे। और मुझे लगता है कि इसने ख़ास तौर पर मेरी बहनों को सबसे ज़्यादा नुक्सान पहुँचाया क्योंकि वे अपने पिता का ध्यान आकर्षित करने या उनकी शाबाशी पाने के लिए कुछ भी नहीं कर सकती थीं। वे खेल नहीं खेल सकती थीं। वे ये दूसरी चीज़ें नहीं कर सकती थीं। वे सख़्त या दबंग नहीं बन सकती थीं। और इसलिए मुझे लगता है कि वे और कुछ नहीं तो महज़ उपेक्षा और नज़रअंदाज़ी का ही शिकार हुईं।
And the rules were so clear, you could not deviate from that all. And I think it especially damaged my sisters because there was nothing they could do to get my father's attention, to win his approval. They could not play sports. They could not do these other things. They could not be tough. They could not be macho. And so I think they suffered just from sheer neglect if nothing else.

ऐसी ख़बरें आई हैं—यहाँ तक कि 'द न्यूयॉर्क टाइम्स' ने भी यह रिपोर्ट दी है कि ख़ुफ़िया एजेंसियों ने व्हाइट हाउस को बताया है कि अब उन्हें इस बात पर, उद्धरण चिह्न में कहें तो, "पूरी तरह से भरोसा" है कि इस हैक के पीछे रूसी सरकार का हाथ था।
It's been reported - in fact, The New York Times has reported that intelligence agencies have told the White House that they now have, quote, "high confidence" that the Russian government was behind the hack.

तो अगर हिलेरी [क्लिंटन] राष्ट्रपति चुनी जाती हैं, तो यह दो मायनों में इतिहास रचेगा। वह देश की पहली महिला राष्ट्रपति होंगी। और बिल क्लिंटन, वह व्हाइट हाउस में जीवनसाथी (पति) की हैसियत से लौटने वाले पहले पुरुष और पहले पूर्व राष्ट्रपति होंगे।
So if Hillary [Clinton] is elected president, it will make history in two ways. She'll be the first woman president. And Bill Clinton, he'll be the first man and the first former president to return to the White House in the capacity of spouse.

मुझे नहीं लगता कि मेरे पिता ने कभी ध्यान भी दिया कि उनकी बेटियाँ भी हैं। मेरा मतलब है, बचपन के दौरान हुए मानसिक आघात का एक हिस्सा यह भी है कि मुझे बिल्कुल नहीं लगता कि उन्हें कभी इंसान के रूप में भी स्वीकार किया गया था। या फिर—यही वजह है कि बाद में ज़िंदगी में जब मैंने खाना बनाना सीखा, तो उसकी एक वजह यह भी थी कि मुझे एक अंडा तक उबालने की इजाजत नहीं थी।
I don't think my father noticed that he had daughters. I think, you know, part of the damage of the childhood was, I simply don't think they were acknowledged as human beings at all. Or - you know, one of the reasons I became a cook later on in my life was, I was not allowed to cook an egg.

[हिलेरी क्लिंटन] ने इस बात का थोड़ा सा संकेत दिया है कि बिल [क्लिंटन] की भूमिका क्या हो सकती है, लेकिन बस बहुत थोड़ा सा।

हिलेरी [क्लिंटन] सचमुच राष्ट्रपति बनना चाहती हैं। वे '08 में भी राष्ट्रपति बनना चाहती थीं। वे शायद ही कभी सुर्खियों से दूर रही हैं।
[Hillary Clinton] really wants to be president. She wanted to be president in '08. She's hardly left the spotlight.

मुझे तब बहुत दिलचस्प लगा जब [बिल क्लिंटन] ने कहा, मैंने अपनी सबसे अच्छी दोस्त से शादी की है, क्योंकि लोग हमेशा पूछते रहते हैं कि उनके रिश्ते की असलियत क्या है।
I thought it was interesting when [Bill Clinton] said, I married my best friend, because people are always asking, what is the nature of their marriage.

मैं सिटाडेल में किशोरावस्था के मनोविज्ञान की एक क्लास में था, जब उस शख्स ने कहा कि अगर आपकी माँ को मारा-पीटा गया हो, तो इस बात की पूरी संभावना है कि आप अपनी पत्नी को पीटेंगे। और अगर बचपन में आपको मारा गया हो, तो इस बात की बहुत संभावना है कि आप भी बच्चों को पीटने वाले बनेंगे।
I was in an adolescent psychology class at Citadel when the guy said, if you had a mother who was beaten, there's a great chance you'll beat your wife. And if you were beaten as a child, there's a terrific chance you're going to be a child-beater.

और एक बार जब आप यह स्वीकार कर लेते हैं कि यह सच है, तो आप उस उस बला या डर का नाम लेना शुरू कर देते हैं जो आपको चोट पहुँचा रहा है - इसलिए मैंने ऐसा करना शुरू किया। और भी सच सामने आने लगे।
And once you say this is true, you start naming the beast that hurts you - so I started doing this. Other truths come out.

आप जानते हैं, मैं अपना जीवन कैसे जी रहा हूँ? मैं किन बातों से इनकार कर रहा हूँ? चूंकि मैं अपने वयस्क जीवन में चीजों से इनकार करने की भारी प्रवृत्ति साथ लेकर आया हूँ, इसलिए एक पति के रूप में मैं क्या नहीं कर रहा हूँ? एक पिता के रूप में मैं क्या नहीं कर रहा हूँ? मेरे अंदर यह पूरा ताना-बाना तब उखड़ने लगा कि जब तक मैं बातों को अपने तक सीमित रखता था, मैं सब कुछ दबाए रख सकता था, लेकिन एक बार जब मैंने उन्हें बाहर निकालना शुरू किया, तो सब कुछ बाहर आने लगा।
You know, how am I leading my own life? What am I denying? Since I brought such great powers of denial into my adult life, what am I not doing as a husband? What am I not doing as a father? The whole thing started unraveling with me that once I kept it up close to the chest, I could hold it all in, but once I started letting it out, it all started coming out.

यौन इच्छा इंसानी प्रवृत्तियों में से एक सबसे बुनियादी प्रेरणा है, और इतिहास गवाह है कि ऐसे कानून बनते रहे हैं जो यह तय करते हैं कि कौन सा यौन व्यवहार स्वीकार्य है और कौन सा नहीं। पिछली एक सदी में, बदलते सामाजिक और नैतिक मानदंडों के साथ तालमेल बिठाने में कानून को काफी मशक्कत करनी पड़ी है।
The sex drive is one of the most fundamental human urges, and throughout history, there have been laws regulating what is considered acceptable sexual behavior. In the past century, the law has had trouble keeping up with changing social and moral standards.

जब मैं किसी राजनेता को अपने जीवन के बारे में बात करते सुनता हूँ, तो मुझे कभी समझ नहीं आता कि उसका कितना हिस्सा उस चुनावी कथा का हिस्सा है जिसे बहुत सावधानी से गढ़ा गया है।

ऐसा लगता है कि कल रात बिल क्लिंटन ने बिल्कुल इसी बात को आगे बढ़ाया, क्योंकि उन्होंने एक लंबा किस्सा सुनाया कि कैसे वे दोनों [हिलेरी क्लिंटन के साथ] मिले, कैसे उन्होंने हिलेरी को रिझाया, कैसे उन्होंने उन्हें शादी के लिए मनाने के लिए एक घर खरीदा, शायद तीसरी बार प्रपोज करने के बाद। और उन्होंने हिलेरी की सक्रियता (एक्टिविज्म), उनकी प्रतिबद्धता और हर चीज़ के बारे में बात की। और ऐसा लग रहा था कि वे उस कहानी को उस अंदाज़ में बयान कर सकते थे जैसे हिलेरी खुद नहीं कर सकती थीं।
It seems that's where Bill Clinton came in last night because he told this long story about how they met [with Hillary Clinton], how he courted her, how he bought a house to convince her, I think after the third proposal, to actually marry him. And he talked about her activism and her commitment and everything. And it was as if he could tell the narrative in a way that she couldn't.

मुझे विज्ञापनों से दो-दो हाथ करने पड़ते हैं। जैसे, ऐसे पॉप-अप आते हैं जो इधर-उधर हिलते रहते हैं और आपको उनका पीछा ऐसे करना पड़ता है मानो कोई वीडियो गेम खेल रहे हों। और फिर ऐसे विज्ञापन होते हैं जिनमें विज्ञापन की स्क्रीन को बंद करने वाला 'X' का निशान इतना छोटा होता है कि आपको दिखाई ही नहीं देता और उसे ढूंढने के लिए आपको बाकायदा मशक्कत करनी पड़ती है। इसलिए अपनी यह ऊर्जा - इस बात पर ध्यान लगाने के बजाय कि विज्ञापनदाता मुझे क्या बताना चाहता है - मैं इस बात में लगा देता हूँ कि इस विज्ञापन से कैसे पीछा छुड़ाऊँ।
I have to match wits with the ads. Like, there's pop-ups that, like, move around and you have to chase them like it was a video game or something. And then there's ads where, like, you know, the X to, like, close the ad screen is so kind of small that you can't find it and you have to actually go looking for it. And so I spend all my energy - instead of, like, absorbing what the advertiser wants to communicate to me, I spend my energy trying to figure out how to defeat the ad.

मैं कॉमेडी के बारे में सोच रहा था और यह कि कैसे कॉमेडी कई मायनों में हमारे लिए नए विचारों के द्वार खोलती है; और सचमुच रिचर्ड प्रायर से बहुत प्रभावित था और इस बात से कि वे किस तरह बड़े सामाजिक मुद्दों पर बात करने के लिए कॉमेडी का इस्तेमाल करते थे।
I was thinking about comedy and how comedy in many ways opens us up to ideas and really being influenced by Richard Pryor and sort of the way he would use comedy to really speak about larger social issues.

मुझे लगता है कि जब आप पहली पीढ़ी के प्रवासी होते हैं, खासकर नाइजीरियाई मूल के, तो हमेशा एक उम्मीद होती है कि आप डॉक्टर, वकील या इंजीनियर बनेंगे। इसलिए, कला के क्षेत्र में मेरे शुरुआती कदम और यह फैसला कि मैं फिल्मों को अपना करियर बनाऊँगा, इससे वे असमंजस में तो नहीं पड़े, लेकिन यह निश्चित रूप से ऐसी बात थी जिससे वे डर गए थे।
I think there's always an expectation when you're a first generation, especially a first-generation Nigerian, of sort of being a doctor or a lawyer or an engineer. And so, you know, sort of my initial pursuits into the arts and that I was going to pursue film as a career didn't confuse them, but it was definitely something that they were scared about.

मेरे सभी भाई-बहनों के पास डैड से जुड़े ऐसे किस्से हैं। मुझे याद है, जब मेरी बहन चेकर्स के खेल में पहली बार डैड को हराने वाली थी, तो उन्होंने बोर्ड ही उलट दिया था।

जब आप अखबार पढ़ रहे होते हैं और पन्ने पर विज्ञापन देखते हैं, तो वे इतने दखलअंदाजी भरे नहीं लगते। जैसे, वे लेख के बगल वाले पन्ने पर होते हैं। आप चाहें तो उन्हें देखें या न देखें। जब आपका मन हो, आप पन्ना पलट सकते हैं। लेकिन इंटरनेट पर विज्ञापन - उनमें से कई विज्ञापन - इतने हावी रहते हैं। वे इस बात पर अड़े रहते हैं कि आप उन्हें देखें ही देखें।
When you're reading a newspaper and you're seeing ads on the page, it's not kind of invasive. Like, it's on the page next to the article. You can look at it or not. You can turn the page when you're ready. On the internet, the ads - many of the ads - just are so controlling. They insist that you see them.

मैं अमेरिका में पहली पीढ़ी का नागरिक हूँ, और मेरे दोनों माता-पिता नाइजीरिया से हैं। इसलिए मैं हमेशा कहता हूँ कि मैं शाब्दिक अर्थों में एक अफ्रीकी अमेरिकी हूँ। इसलिए मेरा उपनाम फमुइयुवा है, जो थोड़ा अलग है। तो यह मेरे अनुभव का एक हिस्सा रहा है—लोगों का इसे ठीक से न बोल पाना और चूंकि मेरे माता-पिता अफ्रीका से थे, इसलिए बहुत सारे ऐसे बच्चे जिनके साथ मैं बड़ा हुआ, उनके साथ मेरा कोई साझा इतिहास नहीं था।
I'm first generation American, and my parents were both from Nigeria. And so I always say that I'm literally an African American. So my last name is Famuyiwa, it's different. And so that was a part of my experience from people not being able to pronounce it to not sort of having sort of a shared, common history with a lot of the kids that I was growing up with because my parents were from Africa.
