हमें ज़िंदगी के इस सफ़र में एक-दूसरे के साथ समय बिताने के लिए शुक्रिया अदा करना चाहिए, ज़िंदगी भर के लिए।

We should just thank each other for our time. For the rest of our lives.

मुझे वाकई लगता है कि इतिहास का यह दौर बेहद दिलचस्प है क्योंकि आधुनिक तकनीक के विकास और अंतरिक्ष से ली गई सैटेलाइट तस्वीरों ने पृथ्वी को एक नए रूप में हमारे सामने ला खड़ा किया है। इससे हमें ऐसा महसूस होता है कि हमारी यह दुनिया, हमारी कल्पना से कहीं ज़्यादा छोटी है।

I think, actually, that it's a really fascinating time in history because the development of modern technology and the photographs the satellites were taking from space were mapping the earth in a new way, making us feel like the globe we inhabit is much smaller than previously conceived of, in the human mind.

कुछ महान अभिनेताओं ने सुपरहीरो के किरदारों को बेहद संजीदा बना दिया है: 'बैटमैन' में माइकल कीटन और जैक निकोलस; 'एक्स-मेन' में इयान मैकेलन और पैट्रिक स्टीवर्ट, जो इस परंपरा के शुरुआती स्तंभ रहे हैं और अब उन्होंने यह कमान माइकल फ़ासबेंडर और जेम्स मैकावॉय को सौंप दी है।

Some of the greatest actors have turned superheroes into a serious business: Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson in Batman; Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, the first venerable knights of the X-Men, who have now passed the baton to Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy.

क्रिसमस के मौके पर परिवार के नाटक में हर किसी की एक तय भूमिका होती है—आप या तो मज़ियाकिया स्वभाव वाले होते हैं या फिर बहुत संवेदनशील; या तो आप खाना बनाते हैं या बर्तन धोते हैं। और इन भूमिकाओं को बदलना आसान नहीं होता।

At Christmas, individuals are apportioned their roles in the family script - you're either the funny one or the sensitive one; or you either do the cooking or the washing up. And those roles aren't easy to change.

अभिनय के लिए एक-दूसरे पर भरोसा और आपसी सम्मान होना बहुत ज़रूरी है।

Acting takes a degree of mutual trust and respect.

जब आप एक अभिनेता के रूप में शुरुआत करते हैं, तो लोग आपके बारे में जानने के लिए बहुत उत्सुक होते हैं क्योंकि वे यह तय करना चाहते हैं कि आपको किस खाने में फिट किया जाए। और अक्सर ऐसा होता है—हम सब अपनी ज़िंदगी में ऐसा करते हैं—कि हम किसी के रूप-रंग, बोलचाल और कपड़ों को देखकर बहुत जल्दी राय बना लेते हैं और उन्हें किसी एक श्रेणी में रख लेते हैं और सोचते हैं: "ओह हाँ, हम समझ गए कि तुम कौन हो।"

When you're starting out as an actor people are very interested in who you are because they want to know where they can put you. And quite often, and we're all guilty of this is our lives, we judge very quickly and we pigeon-hole people very quickly based on how they look and how they talk and how they dress and we think: "Oh yeah, we know who you are."

'द नाइट मैनेजर' शीत युद्ध के दौर की कहानी नहीं है, बल्कि यह मौजूदा दौर की दुनिया से ज़्यादा मेल खाती है, ऐसा मुझे लगता है। इसमें एक्शन ज़्यादा है। इसमें बुरे लोगों का कोई राजनीतिक या राष्ट्र-राजनीतिक एजेंडा नहीं होता।

The Night Manager doesn't exist in the post-Cold war universe, it exists much more in the modern world, I think. There is more action. The bad guys don't have particularly political or national-political affiliations.

खुद को, कला को और सिनेमा को देखने के मामले में अमेरिका और यूरोप की सोच बिल्कुल अलग है।

America and Europe are so different in the way they conceive of themselves and art and cinema.

एक अभिनेता के तौर पर किसी ऐसे किरदार को दोबारा जीने का मौक़ा मिलना बहुत दुर्लभ होता है जिसे आपने पहले गढ़ा हो, जिसके साथ वक़्त बिताया हो और जिसे गहराई से समझा हो। उस किरदार को एक नए स्तर तक ले जाना अपने आप में बहुत बड़े सौभाग्य की बात है।

It is so rare as an actor to be allowed the chance to revisit a role and to go back to a character that you already built, and lived inside, and understood. To take it further to another stage is a huge privilege.

|हर कोई सोचता है कि आप अफ़्रीका जाकर कोई स्कूल बना दें, अंग्रेज़ी पढ़ा दें, या कोई अस्पताल बनवा दें। लेकिन असल में आपको करना यह होता है कि बच्चों के साथ छह महीने तक सिर्फ़ फुटबॉल खेलें; जब वे आप पर भरोसा करने लगें, तब उन्हें एड्स की सच्चाई के बारे में बताएं और समझाएँ कि उनकी दादी की मौत जादू-टोने से नहीं, बल्कि एड्स की वजह से हुई थी। और यही वह सबसे बड़ा बदलाव है जो आप ला सकते हैं।

Everybody thinks that you go to Africa and you build a school, or you teach English, or you build a hospital. But actually all you need to do is play football with kids for six months and then after they've trusted you, you tell them about the truth of Aids, and that their grandmother didn't die from witchcraft, she died from Aids. And that's the biggest difference you can make.

डिजिटल संवाद की भाषा एक ऐसी भाषा है जिसे हम पूरी तरह समझ नहीं पाए हैं। लोग कहते हैं कि इंटरनेट वाइल्ड वेस्ट (जंगली पश्चिम) जैसा है जहाँ कोई कानून नहीं है और हमें अभी तक यह समझ नहीं आया कि इसे कैसे व्यवस्थित या नैतिक बनाया जाए।

The language of digital communication is a language we don't understand in a way. People say the internet is like the Wild West in that it's lawless and we haven't worked out how to make it structured or moral.

यह किताब ['नाइट मैनेजर'] अद्भुत है। किसी भी किताब के रूपांतरण पर आधारित फ़िल्म में काम करना एक शानदार अनुभव होता है, क्योंकि किताब आपको ढेरों ऐसे रहस्य और बारीकियाँ देती है जो ज़रूरी नहीं कि फ़िल्मी परदे पर आ ही पाएँ। वे हर चीज़ के पीछे एक मज़बूत आधार का काम करती हैं। किरदार की बारीकियाँ, लहजे की बारीकियाँ—सब कुछ स्पष्ट हो जाता है।

The book [Night manager] is amazing. It is amazing to act in any book adaptation, because a book gives you so many secrets and details that don't necessarily get shot in an adaptation. They give you a cushion underneath everything. The detail in the character, the detail in the tone.

किसी को भी, कभी भी, यह तय न करने दें कि आप क्या कर सकते हैं और क्या नहीं। आलोचकों को गलत साबित करके दिखाएँ। उन पर दया करें क्योंकि उनकी कोई कल्पना शक्ति नहीं होती। आसमान ही आपकी सीमा है। आपका अपना आसमान। आपकी अपनी सीमा। अब, चलिए झूमते हैं।

Never, ever, let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. Prove the cynics wrong. Pity them for they have no imagination. The sky's the limit. Your sky. Your limit. Now. Let's dance.

जो हमारा अतीत है, वही आज हमारा निर्माण करता है। जो हमारा भविष्य होगा, वही कल हमें गढ़ेगा। बस, इस पल में जियो। इसी पल में।

इस पीढ़ी ने रोमांस का असली मतलब ही भुला दिया है। आज ऐसे कितने ही गाने हैं जो महिलाओं का अनादर करते हैं। जिस औरत से आप प्यार करते हैं, उसे कोई भोग-विलास की वस्तु नहीं समझा जा सकता। आपको अपने प्यार को किसी राजकुमारी की तरह संभालना चाहिए। उसे प्रेम के गीत दें, कुछ ऐसा जिसका कोई वास्तविक अर्थ हो। हो सकता है कि मैं पुराने खयालों का हूँ, लेकिन जिस औरत से आप प्यार करते हैं, उसका सम्मान करना आपकी सबसे बड़ी प्राथमिकता होनी चाहिए।

This generation has lost the true meaning of romance. There are so many songs that disrespect women. You can’t treat the woman you love as a piece of meat. You should treat your love like a princess. Give her love songs, something with real meaning. Maybe I’m old fashioned but to respect the woman you love should be a priority.

हर चीज़ एक चुनाव है। कोई भी पैदाइश अच्छा नहीं होता। कोई भी पैदाइश बुरा नहीं होता। यह हमेशा हमारा अपना चुनाव होता है।

Everythings a choice. Nobody's born good. Nobody's born evil. It's always a choice.

कभी मत रुकिए। कभी संघर्ष करना मत छोड़िए। कभी सपने देखना मत छोड़िए। और अपने दिल की बात खुलकर कहने से कभी मत डरिए—उन फिल्मों के बारे में खुलकर बोलिए जिन्हें आप पसंद करते हैं, जो फिल्में आप बनाना चाहते हैं, जो ज़िंदगी आपने जी है, और जिन जिंदगियों को आप सिनेमा के ज़रिए पर्दे पर उतारना चाहते हैं। खुद मेरे लिए, एक लंबे समय तक... शायद मुझे लगता था कि मैं सच्चा नहीं हूँ या ऐसा ही कुछ, मुझे लगता था कि मेरी आवाज़ सुनने लायक नहीं है, और मुझे लगता है कि हर एक की आवाज़ सुनने लायक होती है। इसलिए अगर आपके पास कहने के लिए कुछ है, तो उसे पूरी दुनिया के सामने खुलकर कहिए।

Never stop. Never stop fighting. Never stop dreaming. And don’t be afraid of wearing your heart on your sleeve - in declaring the films that you love, the films that you want to make, the life that you’ve had, and the lives you can help reflect in cinema. For myself, for a long time… maybe I felt inauthentic or something, I felt like my voice wasn’t worth hearing, and I think everyone’s voice is worth hearing. So if you’ve got something to say, say it from the rooftops.

लोगों को इस आधार पर मत परखिए कि वे अतीत में कैसे थे। उन्हें वह इंसान बनने दीजिए जो वे आज हैं।

असली मज़ा तो खुद को लगातार हैरान करते रहने में है, इस बात की परवाह किए बिना कि दर्शक क्या सोच रहे हैं।

The dream is to keep surprising yourself, never mind the audience.

जिन लोगों से आप प्यार करते हैं, उन्हें यह ज़रूर बताइए कि आप उनसे कितना प्यार करते हैं। पूरी शिद्दत से और बार-बार बताइए। आप कभी नहीं जानते कि कब बहुत देर हो जाए।

Make sure you tell the people you love that you love them. Loudly and often. You never know when it might be too late.

मैं एक आशावादी इंसान हूँ... और मैंने जानबूझकर यह नज़रिया चुना है। हमारी इस दुनिया में बहुत अंधेरा है, बहुत दर्द है और यह आपके ऊपर है कि आप उस दर्द को देखना चुनते हैं या उस खुशी को। अगर आप दुनिया के प्रति सकारात्मक रवैया अपनाएंगे, तो आप अपना समय ज़्यादा बेहतर तरीके से बिता पाएंगे।

I am an optimist... I choose to be. There is a lot of darkness in our world, there is a lot of pain and you can choose to see that or you can choose to see the joy. If you try to respond positively to the world, you will spend your time better.

हमेशा कुछ नया सीखने के लिए भूखे रहिए, हमेशा युवा बने रहिए, थोड़े बेफिक्र रहिए, हर चीज़ जानने के लिए उत्सुक रहिए, और इन सब से बढ़कर, हमेशा विनम्र रहिए क्योंकि ठीक उसी पल जब आपको यह लगने लगेगा कि आपके पास दुनिया के हर सवाल का जवाब है, ब्रह्मांड का कोई कड़वा मोड़ आपको यह याद दिला देगा कि आपको असल में कुछ नहीं पता।

Stay hungry, stay young, stay foolish, stay curious, and above all, stay humble because just when you think you got all the answers, is the moment when some bitter twist of fate in the universe will remind you that you very much don't.

जीवित होने की सबसे दिलचस्प बात यह है कि यहाँ कुछ भी पूरी तरह सफेद या काला नहीं होता; इसके बीच के कई रंग यानी ग्रे शेड्स होते हैं।

खैर, मुझे लगता है कि इस दुनिया में कोई खलनायक नहीं होता। बस ऐसे नायक होते हैं जिन्हें लोग समझ नहीं पाए।

Well, I think there are no villains in this world. There are just misunderstood heroes.

अपने भीतर के आत्मविश्वास को सींचिए और उसे वास्तविक बनाइए; जो आप नहीं हैं, उसका दिखावा मत कीजिए।

Nurture your own confidence and make it real; don't pretend to be someone you're not.

उत्पीड़कों (बुली करने वालों) के खिलाफ सबसे अच्छा बदला यही है कि आप पक्के तौर पर और दृढ़ संकल्प के साथ कभी भी उन्हें यह न बदलने दें कि आप असल में कौन हैं। यह बात हमेशा याद रखिए कि वे जो कुछ भी कहते या करते हैं—वह उनकी अपनी कमज़ोरी से आता है, आपकी कमज़ोरी से नहीं।

The best revenge against bullies is absolutely, resolutely, never to let them change who you are. Know that whatever bullies say or do - it comes from their weakness, not yours.

हर खलनायक अपनी नज़र में एक हीरो होता है।

काश मैंने इतनी कड़ी मेहनत न की होती; काश मुझमें दूसरों की उम्मीदों पर जीने के बजाय अपनी खुद की शर्तों पर ज़िंदगी जीने की हिम्मत होती; काश मैं अपनी भावनाएँ खुलकर व्यक्त कर पाता; काश मैं अपने दोस्तों के संपर्क में रहता; और काश मैंने खुद को थोड़ा और खुश रहने दिया होता। यह इस बात की एक अद्भुत सूची है कि कैसे हम खुद ही अपनी ज़िंदगी में रुकावटें पैदा करते हैं, है न?

I wish I hadn't worked so hard; I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me; I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings; I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends; and I wish I had let myself be happier. It's an extraordinary list of getting in your own way, isn't it?

It's an extraordinary list of getting in your own way, isn't it?

मैंने खुद को परवाह करने की छूट दी, क्योंकि इस दुनिया में बहुत से लोग परवाह करने से डरते हैं, या यह दिखाने से डरते हैं कि वे परवाह करते हैं क्योंकि उन्हें यह अनकूल (बेकार) लगता है। जोश या जूनून रखना आज के समय में अनकूल माना जाता है। जब आप सबको यह दिखा देते हैं कि आपको इस बात से कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि आप जीतेंगे या हारेंगे, तो हारना बहुत आसान लगने लगता है। लेकिन जब आप यह दिखाते हैं कि आपको परवाह है और तब आप हार जाते हैं, तो उसे स्वीकार करना बहुत कठिन होता है; पर आप तब तक कभी नहीं जीत सकते, जब तक आप हारने का जोखिम उठाने को तैयार न हों। अपने भीतर के जूनून से कभी मत डरिए।

I gave myself permission to care, because there are a lot of people in this world who are afraid of caring, or afraid of showing that they care because it's uncool. It's uncool to have passion. It's so much easier to lose when you've shown everyone how much you don't care if you win or lose. It's much harder to lose when you show that you care, but, you'll never win, unless you also stand to lose. Don't be afraid of your passion.

मैं उन लोगों का शुक्रगुजार हूँ जिन्होंने मुझ पर तब भरोसा किया जब शायद बाकी लोगों ने नहीं किया होगा।

I'm grateful for people who have believed in me when others might not have.

सच्चा प्यार अजीब और पल-पल बदलने वाला होता है... पर साथ ही किसी तरह हमेशा एक जैसा भी रहता है।

Real love is strange and changeable… but also somehow constant.

Real love is strange and changeable… but also somehow constant.

हम सबकी एक बहुत बड़ी कमज़ोरी यह है कि हमें लगता है कि बाकी सब हमसे ज़्यादा कूल हैं, ज़्यादा आकर्षक हैं; और बाकी सबके पास ज़िंदगी के हर सवाल का जवाब है। यही हाल मेरा भी था।

One of the great flaws that we all share is that we think everyone else is cooler, everyone else is sexier; everyone else has all the answers. That was me too.

पूरी ईमानदारी से कहूँ तो, मुझे उम्मीद है कि मैं ऐसी ही हूँ। भगवान जाने, मुझे नहीं पता। मुझे उम्मीद है कि मैं मज़ेदार हूँ, मेरे साथ समय अच्छे से बीतता है। सहज, हैरान करने वाली, स्नेह से भरपूर? उम्मीद है कि मैं दयालु हूँ। नाचती हुई—बहुत सारा नाचती हुई। मैं नाचने पर ज़िद करती हूँ। कहीं भी। कभी भी। जितना ज़्यादा नाचना हो, उतना ही अच्छा।

Very honest, I hope. God, I don't know. I hope I'm fun, I hope I am a good time. Spontaneous, surprising, affectionate? I hope, kind. Dancing a lot of dancing. I insist upon dancing. Anywhere. Anytime. The more dancing, the better

कभी-कभी प्यार सचमुच इतना ही सरल होता है।

मेरे घर में एक छोटा सा ऑफिस है और वह बिल्कुल कबाड़खाने जैसा लगता है, लेकिन मुझे यह अच्छी तरह पता है कि कौन सी चीज़ कहाँ रखी है। दीवारों पर छोटी-छोटी पर्चियाँ चिपकी हैं, इन-ट्रे में कागज़ हैं, कंप्यूटर में सहेजी गई फाइलें हैं और iTunes पर बनाई गई प्लेलिस्ट्स हैं—ऐसी चीज़ें जो मुझे एक ऐसी मनोदशा में ले जाती हैं जिसे मैं सही समझता हूँ।

I have a little office in my house and it is an absolute pigsty but I know exactly where everything is and there are little things stuck all over the walls, and papers in in-trays and files I have saved on my computer and playlists I have made on my iTunes - things that take me to a place that I think is appropriate.

मुझे लगता है कि अगर आप पारंपरिक तरीके से रोमांटिक होना चाहते हैं, तो आपको पूरी शिद्दत से होना चाहिए: किसी खूबसूरत जगह पर शानदार डिनर, ढेर सारे फूल, चॉकलेट और शैंपेन। लेकिन इसके साथ ही यह भी कितना प्यारा हो सकता है कि आप खुद को अच्छे से गर्म कपड़ों में लपेटकर अपनी प्रेमिका के साथ किसी छत पर बैठ जाएँ, हाथ में गरम सूप का कप हो, लंदन के ऊपर से उतरते जहाजों को देखें और रात की खामोशी को सुनें।

I THINK IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE CONVENTIONALLY ROMANTIC YOU'VE GOT TO GO ALL THE WAY: A BEAUTIFUL DINNER SOMEWHERE LOVELY, WITH BOAT-LOADS OF FLOWERS, CHOCOLATES AND CHAMPAGNE. BUT IT MIGHT ALSO BE NICE TO WRAP UP WARM AND SIT ON A ROOF SOMEWHERE, WITH A CUP OF HOT SOUP AND YOUR GIRL, WATCH THE PLANES COME IN OVER LONDON AND LISTEN TO THE NIGHT.

मुझे लगता है कि हर किसी को अपने सपनों का पीछा करना चाहिए। चाहे आप फुटबॉल खेलना चाहते हों, अभिनय करना चाहते हों, गाना चाहते हों, लेखक बनना चाहते हों या जो भी आग आपके अंदर बड़े होने के साथ सुलग रही है, आपको उसका पीछा ज़रूर करना चाहिए।

I think everyone should pursue their dreams. Whether you want to play football, act, sing, become a writer or whatever you have burning inside you as you’re growing up, you should pursue it.

सच्चਾ प्यार किसी दूसरे इंसान को वह जैसे हैं, वैसे ही स्वीकार करना है।

True love is an acceptance of someone else for who they are.

True love is an acceptance of someone else for who they are.

हम सब किसी न किसी कमी के साथ जीने वाले नायक हैं। ज़िम्मेदारी ही असली ताक़त है। अपने कर्मों के परिणामों की ज़िम्मेदारी खुद लीजिए, और फिर पूरी दुनिया आपकी है। हर चीज़ एक चुनाव है।

We're all flawed heroes. Responsibility is power. Take responsibility for the consequences of your actions, and the world is yours. Everything is a choice.

इन समुदायों के छोटे बच्चों को यह दिखाना कि उनकी भावनाओं को ज़ाहिर करने के रास्ते मौजूद हैं, कि उस जगह पर उनकी कहानियों को सुनाए जाने की गुंजाइश है, और यह कि उनकी सराहना की जाएगी—और यह बात अहंकार की नहीं, बल्कि जुड़ाव की है: कि उनका दर्द हर किसी का दर्द है।

Showing young children in these communities, that there are outlets for their feelings, that there is room in a space for their stories to be told, and that they will be applauded - and it's not about ego, it's about connection: that their pain is everybody else's pain.

अभिनय महज़ कल्पना का एक खेल है। आप बस अपने मन में काल्पनिक परिस्थितियाँ रचते हैं और पूरी सच्चाई के साथ उन पर अपनी प्रतिक्रिया देते हैं।

All acting is an act of imagination. You are simply conjuring up imaginary circumstances in your mind and responding truthfully to them.

काश हम एक-दूसरे के प्रति थोड़े बेहतर हो पाते।

मुझे लगता है क्रूरता और कुछ नहीं बस कड़वाहट के रूप में छिपा हुआ अकेलापन है।

I think cruelty is just loneliness disguised as bitterness.

I think cruelty is just loneliness disguised as bitterness.

गंभीर अभिनय के बारे में अजीब बात यह है कि मैंने जीवन भर लोगों की नकल की है, और मैंने 'बैलून डिबेट' नाम की एक प्रतियोगिता में हिस्सा लिया था। इसका विचार यह है कि अटलांटिक के ऊपर उड़ता हुआ एक गर्म हवा का गुब्बारा नीचे गिर रहा है और आपको एक भाषण देना है कि आप उस गुब्बारे में क्यों बने रहने चाहिए। छह लोगों को बाहर फेंका जाना है और आप अंदर रहना चाहते हैं।

The weird thing about serious acting is I've always done impressions of people, all my life, and I did the thing called a balloon debate. The idea is there's a hot air balloon traveling across the Atlantic and it's going down and you have to give a speech as to why you should stay in the balloon. Six people are going to be chucked out and you want to stay.

ले कैरे जिस खूबी के लिए जाने जाते हैं, वह है अंग्रेजीयत की किसी बहुत खास बात को गहराई से समझना। मुझे लगता है कि शायद इसीलिए उन्होंने यह उपन्यास लिखा। आप ले कैरे के उस गुस्से को महसूस कर सकते हैं कि जिसे अंग्रेजी शिक्षा और परवरिश के सभी फायदे मिले हैं, वह व्यक्ति उस विशेषाधिकार का इस्तेमाल मूल रूप से उन सबसे बुरे कामों को करने के लिए कर रहा है जिसकी कोई कल्पना भी कर सकता है। इस किताब में इसे लेकर एक गुस्सा झलकता है।

What le Carré is so good at is unpicking something very specific about Englishness. That is almost part of why I think he wrote the novel. You can feel le Carré's anger that someone who has had the benefits of an English education and an English upbringing is using that privilege to basically do the worst things imaginable. There is an anger in the book about that.

मुझे हर तरह के किरदार निभाना पसंद है। उम्मीद है यह ज़्यादा बड़ी बात नहीं लगेगी, लेकिन मुझे हमेशा लगता है कि इंसानी स्वभाव एक पियानो की तरह है, जिसमें 88 चाबियाँ हैं—कुछ सफेद और कुछ काली, और हर किरदार पियानो पर एक अलग राग की तरह है। मूल रूप से, मैं उम्मीद करता हूँ कि अपने जीवन के दौरान, मैं इन सभी 88 चाबियों को बजा चुका हूँगा। यानी मैंने नायक, खलनायक, राजकुमार, राजा, योद्धा, भिखारी, चोर, प्रेमी, पिता, जादूगर और ऐसी तमाम भूमिकाएँ निभाई होंगी। इसीलिए मैं एक अभिनेता हूँ... मुझे लोगों को समझना पसंद है।

I love playing all kinds of roles. I hope it doesn’t sound too pretentious, but I always feel human nature is like a piano, and there are 88 keys, and there are some white keys and some black keys, and each character is a different chord on the piano. Basically, I hope that in the course of my life, I will have played all 88 keys. So, I’ll have played heroes and villains and princes and kings and warriors and beggars and thieves and lovers and fathers and wizards and all of those things. That is why I’m an actor… I love studying people.

मैं कोई उद्धारकर्ता नहीं हूँ। ज़मीनी स्तर पर मदद करने के मामले में मैं इस धरती पर सबसे आखिरी इंसान हूँ। मुझे नहीं पता कि अलग-अलग तरह के चिकित्सीय दूध कैसे तैयार किए जाते हैं। मैं कोई केमिस्ट नहीं हूँ। मैं डॉक्टर नहीं हूँ। मैं इंजीनियर नहीं हूँ। मैं पोलियो के टीके नहीं बना सकता और न ही सारामोस्सायह या बिसिसिरिमा के स्वास्थ्य केंद्रों तक उनके परिवहन की व्यवस्था कर सकता हूँ। मैं स्कूल नहीं बना सकता, या जल निकासी प्रणालियों की रूपरेखा तैयार नहीं कर सकता। मैं मन्दियाना की महिलाओं और बच्चों को पानी नहीं दे सकता। अब मैं बस इतना कर सकता हूँ कि लोगों को इस बात से अवगत कराऊँ कि क्या हो रहा है, वे क्या कर रहे हैं। बस यही एक काम है जो मैं कर सकता हूँ। फिलहाल के लिए।

I am no saviour. I’m absolutely the last person on the planet who can practically help. I don’t know how to make the different types of therapeutic feeding milk. I’m no chemist. I’m no doctor. I’m no engineer. I can’t manufacture polio vaccines or organise their transportation to the health centres in Saramoussayah or Bissikirima. I can’t build schools, or design drainage systems. I can’t provide the women and children of Mandiana with water.All I can do now is help make people aware of what is happening, of what they are doing. That is all that I can do. For now.

आपको कुछ न कुछ तो करना ही होगा, भले ही वह दिन की शुरुआत करने के लिए ही क्यों न हो। मैं इसके लिए संगीत और दौड़ने का सहारा लेता हूँ।

You've got to do something, even if it's just to kick-start the day. I use music. And running.

मेरा एक न्यू ईयर रेजोल्यूशन यह था कि मैं लोगों से ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा मिलूँ-जुलूँ। यह बात थोड़ी तकनीकी लग सकती है, लेकिन इसका मतलब है आमने-सामने मिलना। फेसटाइम (FaceTime) पर नहीं, क्योंकि वह तो आज की बात है, बल्कि किसी के साथ एक ही कमरे में होना। अपना फोन बंद करना। बैठकर खाना खाना और बस किसी के साथ वहाँ मौजूद रहना।

One of my New Year's resolutions was to interact more with people. That sounds quite technical, but literally face time. Not FaceTime, because that's a thing now, but to be in the room with someone. To turn your phone off. To sit and have dinner and just be there with somebody.

जो चीज़ आपको ज़मीन से जोड़े रखती है, वह है अपनी पसंद का काम करना।

The thing that keeps you grounded is doing the thing you love.

अपने जीवन से प्यार करें। क्योंकि जो कुछ भी देने के लिए आपके पास है, वह आपका जीवन ही है।

Love your life. Because your life is what you have to give.

मेरा कमज़ोर पहलू (पसंदीदा शौक) क्या है? बात यह है कि मुझे अपनी पसंद की चीज़ों के लिए कभी अपराधबोध महसूस नहीं होता।

What's my guilty pleasure? The thing is, I never feel guilty about pleasures.

मेरी पसंदीदा मिठाई चीज़केक—असली, न्यू यॉर्क चीज़केक—और एप्पल क्रम्बल और कस्टर्ड के बीच कोई भी हो सकती है। कस्टर्ड बहुत ज़रूरी है, या फिर डार्क चॉकलेट मूस। चाय: शायद अर्ल ग्रे, थोड़ा सा दूध मिलाकर।

My favourite pudding is a toss-up between cheesecake - proper, New York cheesecake - and apple crumble and custard. Custard is very important, or dark chocolate mousse. Tea: probably Earl Grey, splash of milk.

कभी मत रुको। कभी संघर्ष करना मत छोड़ो। कभी सपने देखना मत छोड़ो।

मैं महिलाओं की ताकत, बुद्धिमत्ता और संवेदनशीलता में विश्वास रखता हूँ। मेरी माँ, मेरी बहनें [वे सब] मजबूत हैं। मेरी माँ एक मजबूत महिला हैं और मैं इसके लिए उनसे बहुत प्यार करता हूँ।

I believe in the strength and intelligence and sensitivity of women. My mother, my sisters [they] are strong. My mum is a strong woman and I love her for it.

मैं किसी का नाम नहीं लेना चाहता क्योंकि मैं बहुत ज़्यादा सीधे तौर पर तुलना नहीं करना चाहता, लेकिन फासीवाद का इतिहास ऐसे लोगों से भरा पड़ा है जिन्हें दूसरे लोगों को दबाने और अपने दर्जे तथा ताकत को सर्वोच्च स्तर तक ले जाने की ज़रूरत होती है। आमतौर पर, ऐसे लोगों के किसी भी मनोवैज्ञानिक अध्ययन से एक ऐसे खोए हुए, आहत बच्चे का पता चलता है जो किसी तरह से दिल से टूटा हुआ होता है और जिसमें आत्म-सम्मान की कमी होती है।

I don't want to name names because I don't want to draw too many direct comparisons but the history of Fascism is populated by people who need to subjugate other people and elevate their status and power to a level which is supreme. Usually, any psychological study of those people will reveal a sort of lost, damaged child, who is somehow heartbroken and doesn't have any self-worth.

मुझे नहीं लगता कि जब तक किसी की आत्मा उसका शरीर नहीं छोड़ देती, तब तक कोई भी इंसान ऐसी स्थिति में पहुँचता है जहाँ से वापसी मुमकिन न हो।

I don't think anyone, until their soul leaves their body, is past the point of no return.

मुझे लगता है कि जब दुनिया आपको यह महसूस कराती है कि आप ठुकराए गए हैं, तो आप पलटवार करते हैं।

यह हमेशा किसी न किसी तरह से अपने भीतर एक ऐसे हिस्से को ढूँढने के बारे में होता है जो प्रासंगिक हो, और फिर उस खास हिस्से की आवाज़ को तेज़ कर देना होता है। इसलिए, मैं वे सभी किरदार हूँ जो मैंने कभी निभाए हैं, और साथ ही मैं उनमें से कोई भी नहीं हूँ।

It’s always about, somehow, finding a part of myself that is relevant, and then turning the volume up on that particular part. So, I am all of the characters I've ever played, and I am none of them at the same time.

द डार्क नाइट में हीथ लेजर का अभिनय ने वाकई खेल ही बदल दिया था। उन्होंने न सिर्फ सुपरहीरो फिल्मों के अभिनेताओं के लिए, बल्कि हर जगह के युवा अभिनेताओं के लिए—मेरे लिए—मानक को और ऊँचा कर दिया था। उनका अभिनयDARK, अराजक, चकरा देने वाला, बेखौफ, पूरी तरह से रोमांचक और खतरनाक था।

Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight quite simply changed the game. He raised the bar not just for actors in superhero films, but young actors everywhere; for me. His performance was dark, anarchic, dizzying, free, and totally, thrillingly, dangerous.

अगर 'थॉर' फिल्म में लोकी की स्थिति एक आध्यात्मिक उलझन के बारे में थी—'मैं कौन हूँ? इस दुनिया में मेरा क्या स्थान है?'—तो 'अवेंजर्स' में लोकी का रुख यह है, 'मैं अच्छी तरह जानता हूँ कि मैं कौन हूँ, और मैं इस दुनिया को अपना बनाने जा रहा हूँ।'

If the Loki in 'Thor' was about a spiritual confusion - 'Who am I? How do I belong in this world?' - the Loki in 'Avengers' is, 'I know exactly who I am, and I'm going to make this world belong to me.'

मैं योजनाएँ न बनाने की कोशिश करता हूँ। भगवान हमेशा आपकी योजनाओं पर हँसते हैं। मैं दरवाज़ा खुला रखूँगा, पन्ने को कोरा रखूँगा, और देखूँगा कि उस पर क्या उकेरा जाता है।

I try not to make plans. God always laughs at your plans. I’m going to keep the door open, and keep the page blank, and see what gets painted upon it.

मैं आपको यह बिल्कुल नहीं बता सकता। लेकिन मैं यही कहूँगा कि अपनी धारणाओं को लेकर बहुत सावधान रहें। लोग तुरंत किसी नतीजे पर पहुँच जाते हैं। किरदार को निभाते समय मुझे यही बात सबसे अच्छी लगती है। लोग इस बात पर बहुत जल्दी निष्कर्ष निकाल लेते हैं कि वह कौन है। लोकी के बारे में सबसे खास बात यह है कि वह मुक्ति और विनाश के बीच की इस धुंधली रेखा पर झूम रहा है। जो आप देखते हैं, उसके आधार पर निष्कर्ष निकालने में बहुत सावधानी बरतें।

I couldn't possibly tell you. But I would say be very careful with your suppositions. People are so quick to jump. That's what I love about playing the character. People are so quick to draw conclusions about who he is. The whole thing about Loki is that he's dancing on this liminal line between redemption and destruction. Just be very careful about drawing conclusions based on what you see.

मैं 'सुपरमैन' देखते हुए बड़ा हुआ हूँ। एक बच्चे के रूप में, जब मैंने पहली बार स्विमिंग पूल में गोता लगाना सीखा, तो मैं गोता नहीं लगा रहा था, मैं उड़ रहा था, सुपरमैन की तरह। मैं खेल के मैदान में एक गुंडे से उस लड़की को बचाने का सपना देखा करता था जिस पर मेरा क्रश था।

I grew up watching 'Superman.' As a child, when I first learned to dive into a swimming pool, I wasn't diving, I was flying, like Superman. I used to dream of rescuing a girl I had a crush on from a playground bully.

कलाकार सहज रूप से मानवता को—अपनी और एक-दूसरे की—उसके तमाम उतार-चढ़ाव वाले गुणों और जीवंतता, कमज़ोरियों और गलतियों के साथ प्रतिबिंबित करना चाहते हैं।

Artists instinctively want to reflect humanity, their own and each other's, in all its intermittent virtue and vitality, frailty and fallibility.

अगर आप सुबह उठकर शॉर्ट्स, टी-शर्ट और फ्लिप-फ्लॉप पहनते हैं, तो यह इस बात का संकेत है कि आप शायद बीच (समुद्र तट) पर जा रहे हैं। अगर आप सुबह उठकर ब्रेस्ट प्लेट, बैक प्लेट, एक केप (बावला) और अपने सिर पर सुनहरे शैतानी सींग पहनते हैं, तो यह बिल्कुल साफ है कि आप कुछ और ही कर रहे हैं।

If you get up in the morning and wear a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and some flip-flops, it's a signal that you might be going to the beach. If you get up in the morning and you wear a breast plate and a back plate and a cape and a pair of golden Satanic horns on your head, it's quite clear that you're doing something else.

आप मानव इतिहास के सबसे महान खलनायकों, फासीवादियों, तानाशाहों को देखिए, वे सभी चाहते थे कि लोग उनके आगे घुटने टेकें क्योंकि वे खुद से पर्याप्त प्यार नहीं करते हैं।

You look at the greatest villains in human history, the fascists, the autocrats, they all wanted people to kneel before them because they don't love themselves enough.

मुझे कभी योजना बनाना पसंद नहीं है। बस ऐसे ही समय बिताना अच्छा लगता है।

एक नायक और एक खलनायक में सिर्फ इतना फर्क होता है कि वे अलग-अलग चुनाव करते हैं।

चाहे बात थॉर और लोकी की हो, ग्रीक-रोमन देवी-देवताओं की या भारतीय देवी-देवताओं की, भगवानों को गढ़ने के पीछे मूल वजह यह थी कि वे असल में हमारे ही बड़े रूप हुआ करते थे।

The thing about playing gods, whether you're playing Thor and Loki or Greco Roman gods or Indian gods or characters in any mythology, the reason that gods were invented was because they were basically larger versions of ourselves.

मैं सोचता हूँ कि अगर हर कोई अपनी कही बात पर अमल करे, कथनी और करनी में एकरूपता हो, और वादे महज़ बातों न रहकर हकीकत बन जाएं, तो यह दुनिया कैसी होगी।

I wonder what the world would be like if everybody walked their talk; if word was married with deed; promises delivered by action.

मुझे लगता था कि अगर मैंने थिएटर की विधिवत ट्रेनिंग नहीं ली, तो थिएटर से जुड़े लोग मुझे देखेंगे ही नहीं। मैं बस 'ब्राइड्सहेड' वाला लड़का बनकर नहीं रहना चाहता था, और जिंदगी भर वैसे ही कपड़े नहीं पहनना चाहता था। मुझे हर तरह की भूमिकाएं आजमाने का मौका मिला। सिर्फ रोमियो ही नहीं, बल्कि दलाल, दादाजी, और यहाँ तक कि नाओमी वालेस के नाटक 'स्लॉटर सिटी' में एक औरत का किरदार भी निभाया।

I thought theater people wouldn't see me if I hadn't trained. I didn't want to just be the Brideshead guy, to spend the rest of my life wearing waistcoats. I got the chance to try everything. Not just Romeos, but pimps and grandfathers and even one role as a woman in a Naomi Wallace play called Slaughter City.

मुझे ऐसा महसूस होता है जैसे मेरी अपनी दुनिया का गत्ते का डिब्बा चपटा होकर खुल गया हो। अब मैं इस दुनिया का छोर देख सकता हूँ।

I feel as though the cardboard box of my own reality has been flattened and blown open. Now I can see the edge of the world.

मुझे नहीं लगता कि कभी मेरा आमना-सामना शुद्ध बुराई से हुआ है, इसलिए मैंने इसे कभी अपनी आँखों से नहीं देखा। लेकिन मैं इंसानी कमजोरियों को समझता हूँ और यह भी जानता हूँ कि लोगों में कभी महान और नेकी के रास्ते पर चलने तो कभी भटक जाने की कितनी क्षमता होती है।

I don't think I've ever been face to face with pure evil, so I don't think I've ever seen it with my own eyes. But I do understand human frailty and I do understand the capacity of people to be intermittently noble and virtuous and fallible.

जब भी आप किसी काम के बारे में विचार करते हैं, तो आपको अपने भीतर झाँककर खुद से पूछना होता है, ‘क्या यह इस बात से मेल खाता है कि मैं इस काम का क्या मकसद देखता हूँ? क्या दुनिया के लिए यह कुछ दिलचस्प और मूल्यवान योगदान होगा?’

Every time you consider a job, you have to check in with your inner compass and say, ‘Does this fit in with how I see what the work is for? Is this going to be something interesting and valuable to contribute to the world?’

हम सभी के भीतर एक इयागो और एक रोमियो छिपा होता है। हमारे अंदर वह प्रेमी भी है और वह समाज-द्रोही भी।

बिना ज़्यादा कुछ बताए, लोकी की सेना में शामिल होने के लिए आपके पास कुछ खास हुनर होना चाहिए - मुझे बताइए कि क्या आपके पास वे योग्यताएं हैं।

Without revealing too much, there's a specific skill set you need to be in Loki's army - let me know if you have the qualifications.

जब कोई नया प्रोजेक्ट सामने आता है, तो मैं यह जानना चाहता हूँ कि उसका अनुभव कितना चुनौतीपूर्ण और रोमांचक होगा। मेरे भीतर का एक हिस्सा कुछ नया करने की इच्छा और बौद्धिक जिज्ञासा को शांत करने की संतुष्टि की ओर खिंचा चला जाता है।

When a new project comes along, I want to know that the experience is going to be challenging and exciting. Part of me is going to be drawn to doing something new and also the satisfaction of intellectual curiosity.

मेरा पक्का विश्वास है कि इंसानी नस्ल के नैतिक संतुलन में, हम खुद को सुधार लेते हैं। अगर हमें लगता है कि हमारी नाव का संतुलन बिगड़ रहा है, तो हम बार-बार उस तूफान से पार पाने का कोई न कोई रास्ता ढूँढ ही लेते हैं।

I fundamentally believe that in the moral balance of the human race, we right ourselves. If we feel like the ship's keel is off, we find a way to steer ourselves through the storm repeatedly.

किसी भी किरदार को निभाते वक्त, आप खुद से बाहर निकलकर उन चीज़ों को जीते हैं जो आपके साथ कभी हुईं ही नहीं।

With any role, you're extending yourself and acting out things that never happened to you.

अपने बारे में कहूँ, तो लंबे समय तक... शायद मुझे लगता था कि मैं सच्चा नहीं हूँ या कुछ ऐसा ही, मुझे लगता था कि मेरी आवाज़ सुनने लायक नहीं है, जबकि हर एक की आवाज़ सुनने योग्य होती है। इसलिए अगर आपके पास कहने के लिए कुछ है, तो उसे पूरी ताकत से दुनिया के सामने रखिए।

For myself, for a long time... maybe I felt inauthentic or something, I felt like my voice wasn't worth hearing, and I think everyone's voice is worth hearing. So if you've got something to say, say it from the rooftops.

अपना काम पूरी ईमानदारी से करो, उसका आनंद लो, उसे गंभीरता से लो लेकिन खुद को बहुत बड़ा मत समझो और चुपचाप अपना काम करते रहो!

मैं एक अभिनेता हूँ, और मेरे काम को लेकर जो मेरा उत्साह और जिज्ञासा है, उसकी एक वजह यह है कि अभिनेताओं को अलग-अलग तरीकों से इंसानी फितरत को टटोलने का सौभाग्य मिलता है।

I'm an actor, and part of my joy and my curiosity about the job that I do, is that actors have the privilege of exploring human nature in different ways.

मेरा मानना है कि खलनायक दरअसल ऐसे लोग होते हैं जो अपनी तमाम बुरी प्रवृत्तियों के चंगुल में फंसे होते हैं - जिनमें सही चुनाव करने का अनुशासन नहीं होता।

I suppose my understanding of villains is that they're just people who are infected by all of the darker instincts - that they haven't got the discipline to make the right choices.

मेरे पिता और मेरे बीच मेरे अभिनेता बनने को लेकर अक्सर खींचतान रहती थी। वह स्कॉटलैंड के एक मजबूत, प्रेस्बिटेरियन कामकाजी परिवार से ताल्लुक रखते थे, और वे मुझे बिठाकर कहते थे, 'देखो, 99 प्रतिशत अभिनेता बेरोजगार होते हैं। तुम पढ़े-लिखे हो, तो फिर अपनी खुद की पहचान बनाने के बजाय अपनी पूरी ज़िंदगी दूसरों की नकल करने में क्यों बिताना चाहते हो?'

My father and I used to tussle about me becoming an actor. He's from strong, Presbyterian Scottish working-class stock, and he used to sit me down and say, 'You know, 99 percent of actors are out of work. You've been educated, so why do you want to spend your life pretending to be someone else when you could be your own man?'

पढ़ाई पूरी करने के बाद, मैंने काफी लीक से हटकर काम किए। ईटन कॉलेज के बहुत कम छात्र 'राडा' (RADA) गए। और ईटन के उससे भी कम छात्र - खासकर तब जब मैं वहाँ था - कैम्ब्रिज गए। मुझे नहीं पता कि अब हालात ऐसे हैं या नहीं। मेरे जानने वाले ज्यादातर लोग ऑक्सफोर्ड गए, क्योंकि वह एक आसान रास्ता लगता था।

Since my education, I've done quite untraditional things. There are very few Etonians who went to Rada. And far fewer Etonians - certainly when I was there - went to Cambridge. I don't know whether it's the same now. Most people I knew went to Oxford, because it seemed more of an easy bridge.

जब आप कोई स्क्रिप्ट एक ही बैठक में पढ़ डालें और बीच में न तो अपनी घड़ी देखें और न ही चाय पीने उठें, तो यह एक दुर्लभ बात है।

It's a rare thing when you can read a script in one sitting and you haven't looked at the watch or you've gone to make a cup of tea.

इंसानी इतिहास के सभी खलनायकों को अगर देखें, तो वे सब अपनी हरकतों को सही मानते थे - हर खलनायक अपनी नजरों में खुद को हीरो समझता है।

If you look at all of the villains in the course of human history, they've all believed, delusionally, in the virtue of their actions - every villain is a hero in his own mind.

आज के तेजी से धर्मनिरपेक्ष होते समाज में, जहाँ इतने सारे अलग-अलग भगवान और विश्वास हैं, सुपरहीरो फिल्में एक ऐसा अनूठा मंच पेश करती हैं जहाँ हमारी साझा उम्मीदें, सपने और कयामत के डर को परिलक्षित किया जा सकता है।

n our increasingly secular society, with so many disparate gods and different faiths, superhero films present a unique canvas upon which our shared hopes, dreams and apocalyptic nightmares can be projected and played out.

मैं जितनी जल्दी हो सके संवाद याद कर लेता हूँ और फिर शूटिंग के दौरान असली चुनौती यह होती है कि मैं वहाँ मौजूद रहूँ और अपने आस-पास की चीजों पर प्रतिक्रिया दूँ। असली जादू वहीं छिपा होता है। यह सचमुच अजीब है, शूटिंग के दिन मिलने वाले सहज और जादुई अनुभव की बराबरी कोई तैयारी नहीं कर सकती।

I learn the lines as soon as I can and then the challenge really, for filming, is to show up and be there and respond to what's around you. That's where the gold dust is. It's really strange, no amount of preparation will help you with the magic of spontaneity on the day [of filming].

जो लोग इंसानों के खिलाफ जंग छेड़ना चाहते हैं, मैं उन सबसे लड़ना चाहता हूँ। असल में, मैं दबंगों और उत्पीड़कों से लड़ना चाहता हूँ। मैं इस दुनिया के गुंडों के खिलाफ खड़े होना चाहता हूँ। लंदन में एक बार सचमुच मेरा पर्स-पैसा छीन लिया गया था, और मैं बिल्कुल लाचार था। वे मुझ पर... उन्होंने मुझ पर चाकू तान दिया था। और मुझे इस बात पर बहुत गुस्सा आया कि मैंने उन्हें ऐसा करने दिया, और मुझे लगता है कि मैं वापस जाकर उनसे कहूँ 'सुनो, सब ठीक है', और अगर वे मुझ पर फिर वार करने की कोशिश करें, तो मैं बस कह सकूँ 'अब तुम यह सब बंद कर सकते हो।'

I’d like to fight everybody who wants to make war on people. I’d like to fight bullies, actually. I’d like to stand up to the bullies in this world. I was actually mugged once in London, and I was completely defenseless. They came at me with a… I was held at knifepoint. And I felt so angry that I let them do it and I think I’d like to go back and say ‘Look, it’s okay’, and if they tried to stab me, I could just say ‘You can stop that now’.

मैं बहुत किस्मत वाला था क्योंकि 'थॉर' में मैंने जिस किरदार को गढ़ा, उसे बिल्कुल शुरुआत से यानी उसकी आत्मा की बुनियाद से तैयार किया था। वह एक ऐसा इंसान था जो इस उम्मीद के साथ पैदा हुआ था कि एक दिन वह राजा बनेगा, जिसे हर हक विरासत में मिला था।

I was so lucky because what I did in 'Thor' was I built the character from the ground up - the foundations of his spirit, really. He was someone who was born with an expectation that he would one day be a king, born with an entitlement.

मुझे लगता है कि हर इंसान को वही करना चाहिए जिससे उसे प्यार हो क्योंकि तब वह काम कभी बोझ नहीं लगेगा।

I think everyone should do what they love because it will never feel like work that way.

मुझे व्यक्तिगत रूप से लगता है कि प्रकृति लोगों को बहुत राहत देती है क्योंकि यह हमें यह अहसास कराती है कि हम बहुत छोटे हैं, और इंसानों तथा समाज के लिए यह एक अच्छी बात है।

I personally feel that people feel very reassured by nature because it makes us feel small and that's a good thing for human beings and for society.

मुझे लगता है कि प्राकृतिक दुनिया के साथ एक स्वस्थ जुड़ाव वास्तव में हमें और अधिक इंसान बनाता है।

I think a healthy connection with the natural world actually makes us more human.

स्क्रिप्ट में कुछ चीजें ऐसी होती हैं जिन्हें प्लान करना ही पड़ता है: जैसे कि, बड़े स्टंट सीन, लड़ाई के दृश्य... आप उन चीजों में improvising (मौके पर बदलाव) नहीं कर सकते। आप तब improvising कर सकते हैं जब आप दोनों किसी रसोई में खड़े हों और सबसे नाटकीय घटना यह होने वाली हो कि कोई फ्रिज खोलने जा रहा हो।

There are certain things in the scripts that need to be planned: you know, big stunt sequences, battle sequences... you can't improvise that stuff. You can improvise when there's just two of you standing in a kitchen and the most dramatic thing that's going to happen is someone's going to open the fridge.

किसी भी रूप में अभिनेता, या किसी भी विधा के कलाकार, अपनी जिज्ञासा से, जीवन के हर कोने को - उजाले और अंधेरे दोनों को - टटोलने की उनकी इच्छा से प्रेरित होते हैं, और जो वे पाते हैं उसे अपने काम में दर्शाते हैं। कलाकार स्वाभाविक रूप से इंसानियत को, उसकी नेकी और जीवटता, उसकी कमजोरी और भूलचूक को - खुद में भी और दूसरों में भी - अपने काम में झलकाना चाहते हैं।

Actors in any capacity, artists of any stripe, are inspired by their curiosity, by their desire to explore all quarters of life, in light and in dark, and reflect what they find in their work. Artists instinctively want to reflect humanity, their own and each other's, in all its intermittent virtue and vitality, frailty and fallibility.

क्रिस इवांस यानी कैप्टन अमेरिका के साथ काम करने में मुझे बहुत मज़ा आया, क्योंकि वह भले ही एक सुपर-सोल्जर हो, लेकिन आख़िरकार वह एक इंसान है जो एक ऐसे भगवान के मुक़ाबले खड़ा है जो खुद को उससे कहीं बढ़कर समझता है। फिर, हल्क के साथ रिंग में उतरना; जहाँ एक तरफ़ यह तेज़ तर्रार, हाज़िर-जवाबी और कुशाग्र बुद्धि है और दूसरी तरफ़ गुस्से का जीता-जागता रूप... लोकी का स्वभाव बहुत ही पल-पल बदलने वाला और रूप बदलने वाला है, न सिर्फ शारीरिक रूप से बल्कि बौद्धिक रूप से भी, इसलिए हर लड़ाई सिर्फ़ शारीरिक नहीं होती। दिमाग के खेल? शायद।

I had huge fun with Chris Evans, as Captain America, because super-soldier though he may be, he's still a man, up against a God who in his own mind is infinitely superior. Then, in the ring with The Hulk, we've got this silver tongued, lightening quick mind up against the embodiment of rage..Loki has this mercurial, transformative ability, not just physically but intellectually, so not all the fights are purely physical. Mind games? Maybe.

सच कहूँ तो, मुझे सबसे ज़्यादा खुशी तब मिलती है जब मैं अपने सबसे अच्छे दोस्त के साथ होता हूँ और हम बस ज़िंदगी और पुराने दिनों को याद करके हंस रहे होते हैं। इस दुनिया में दोस्ती से बढ़कर कुछ नहीं है। और एक तरह की आपसी स्वीकृति; लोगों द्वारा यह महसूस किया जाना कि वे आपको जानते और समझते हैं, और आपको भी यह महसूस होना कि आप उन्हें जानते और समझते हैं—बस यही वो चीज़ है जिसकी आप चाह रख सकते हैं।

Honestly, I’m happiest when I’m with my best friend and we’re just laughing about life and times, there is nothing greater than friendship in this world. And that kind of sort of mutual acceptance ; to feel known and understood by people and to feel like you know and understand them back is all you can ask for.

वैसे, मैं हमेशा खलनायक की भूमिका ही निभाता।

बचपन में, मेरे पास मार्वल के 'टॉप ट्रम्प्स' कार्ड्स का एक डेक हुआ करता था। आपको रेसिंग कारों, फाइटर प्लेन या फुटबॉल खिलाड़ियों वाले टॉप ट्रम्प्स मिल सकते हैं... मेरे पास मार्वल के सभी सुपरहीरो और सुपर-विलेन थे, और मैं अपने दोस्तों के साथ उनसे खेला करता था। उन पर उनकी लंबाई, वज़न, चुस्ती और उनकी महाशक्तियों के हिसाब से पूरी सूची होती थी।

As a child, I had a deck of Marvel top trumps. You can get top trumps with racing cars, or fighter planes, or football players... I had all of the Marvel superheroes and super-villains you could get, and I used to play them with my friends. They were all listed according to their height and weight and agility and their super-powers.

डैनियल डे-लेविस एक ऐसे प्रकाशस्तंभ की तरह हैं जिनका मैं लंबे समय से अनुसरण कर रहा हूँ। भगवान के लिए, मैं उनकी बराबरी का भी नहीं हूँ, लेकिन वह मुझे प्रेरित करते हैं क्योंकि उन्हें खुद को पर्दे पर दिखाने में कोई दिलचस्पी नहीं है; उन्हें सिर्फ़ दूसरे लोगों का किरदार निभाने में मज़ा आता है और ऐसा लगता है कि उनके लिए यह सब किसी रोमांच जैसा है। यह एक तरह की आध्यात्मिक खोज है, जो कि एक बहुत ही अद्भुत और महान बात है।

Daniel Day-Lewis is particularly a sort of beacon I've been following for some time. For God's sake, I'm not even in his league but he inspires me because he's not interested in playing himself; he's only interested in playing other people and the whole thing is like an adventure for him, it seems to me. It's some kind of spiritual exploration, which is an amazing, noble thing.

मुझे पूरा यकीन है कि फिल्मों में हमारे सबसे पसंदीदा पल वे होते हैं जो कैमरे के सामने बस अचानक से हो जाते हैं। उस दौर, उन कपड़ों, उस शैली, आवाज़ या हेयर स्टाइल में ढलने के लिए आपको अपनी तरफ से पूरी तैयारी करनी ही पड़ती है, लेकिन एक बार जब आप वह सब कर लेते हैं, तो आपको उन सब चीज़ों को छोड़कर बस उस पल में जीना होता है। अगर आप हमेशा उसी के बारे में सोचते रहेंगे, तो वह बहुत ज़्यादा सोचा-समझा हुआ और बनावटी लगेगा।

I'm sure favorite moments in movies are things that just happen accidentally when the camera is there. You have to do all the homework to get yourself into the period, the costumes, the style, the voice, the hairdo or whatever it is, but once you've done all that work, you have to kind of let it go and just be there. If you're always thinking about it, it just looks a bit over-thought.

मुझे अलग-अलग परिस्थितियों में मानव स्वभाव के विभिन्न पहलुओं और सच्चाई के अलग-अलग रंगों को जीने का मौका मिला है।

जोआना ने अपना कैमरा समाज के एक ऐसे वर्ग की ओर मोड़ा है, जिस पर अमूमन कैमरे की नज़र नहीं पड़ती। लेकिन मुझे नहीं पता कि उन्हें वर्ग के आधार पर अलग खानों में बाँटना सही है या नहीं; मैं इस बात को लेकर थोड़ा सतर्क रहता हूँ। मेरे पिता एक जहाज़ बनाने वाले (शिपबिल्डर) के बेटे हैं।

Joanna points her camera at a section of society unused to having cameras pointed at it. But I don't know about categorising them in terms of class; I'm a bit wary of that. My dad is the son of a shipbuilder.

जब भी मैं अपने घर यानी लंदन वापस लौटता हूँ, तो मुझे घर जैसी आत्मीयता और सुकून का अहसास होता है, साथ ही इस शहर का अपना एक अलग ही रसूख और आधुनिकता भी महसूस होती है।

Whenever I come back to London, which is home, I get that cosy, comfortable feeling of being home, as well as the sophistication of this city.

मैंने एडिनबर्ग फेस्टिवल में 'जर्नीज़ एंड' का एक मंचन किया था, जो प्रथम विश्व युद्ध पर आधारित आर.सी. शेरिफ का एक नाटक है। तब मैं 18 साल का था और यह पहली बार था जब मेरे कुछ जाने-पहचाने, प्यारे और आदरणीय लोग शो के बाद मेरे पास आए और बोले, 'जानते हो, अगर तुम चाहो तो सचमुच इसे अपने पेशे के रूप में अपना सकते हो।'

I did a production of 'Journey's End,' an RC Sherriff play about World War I, at the Edinburgh Festival. I was 18 and it was the first time that people I knew and loved and respected came up to me after the show and said, 'You know, you could really do this if you wanted to.'

'थॉर' फिल्म में लोकी का किरदार मानव स्वभाव के कुछ अंधेरे पहलुओं को खंगालने का एक बेहतरीन ज़रिया है। इसलिए जब मैं यह जानते हुए वापस लौटा कि मैंने अपनी नाव खुद बनाई है और अब मैं ज़्यादा उथले और तूफानी पानी में उतरने के लिए तैयार हूँ, तो यह अनुभव बहुत रोमांचक था।

Loki in 'Thor' is the most incredible springboard into a sort of excavation of the darker aspects of human nature. So that was thrilling, coming back knowing that I'd built the boat and now I could set sail into choppier waters.

पन्ने पर लिखा हुआ कोई भी किरदार, असल में एक इंसान का सिर्फ़ एक खाका भर होता है।

मैं यह महसूस करता हूँ कि जब मैं काम कर रहा होता हूँ, तो अगर मैं अपने दिन की शुरुआत एक दौड़ से करूँ—घर के बाहर, जिम के अंदर नहीं, बल्कि खुली हवा में प्रकृति के बीच, जहाँ मुझे आगे बढ़ाने वाली सिर्फ़ मेरी अपनी टाँगें हों... तो यह इस दुनिया से जुड़े रहने और अपने ही विचारों के भंवर से बाहर निकलने का एक ज़रिया है।

I find that, when I'm working, if I start the day with a run - outside, not in a gym, but just me out there in the elements, with only my own legs to propel me forward... It's something to do with just being in the world and getting out of my own head.

यह बात भले ही घिसी-पिटी लगे, लेकिन सुपरहीरो भी अकेले, घमंडी, अहंकारी और अभिमानी हो सकते हैं। अक्सर वे समाज के बड़े हित के लिए अपनी इन इंसानी कमज़ोरियों पर जीत हासिल कर लेते हैं।

It sounds cliched, but superheroes can be lonely, vain, arrogant and proud. Often they overcome these human frailties for the greater good.

गिनी में मैंने जो सीखा, वह यह है कि हम सब अपनी दुनिया की मौजूदा हालत के लिए ज़िम्मेदार हैं। यह दुनिया—और वह व्यवस्था जिसके ज़रिए हम व्यापार, लेन-देन, आपसी सहयोग और संघर्ष करते हैं—साफ़ तौर पर काम नहीं कर रही है। हम अपने समाज के सबसे कमज़ोर सदस्यों जितने ही मज़बूत हैं। यूनिसेफ (UNICEF) से जुड़े लोग हर स्तर पर ऐसे मज़बूत, बेहद ऊर्जावान और काबिल लोग हैं जो अपनी इस ताकत, ऊर्जा और काबिलियत का इस्तेमाल उन लोगों की मदद के लिए करते जिन्हें इसकी सबसे ज़्यादा ज़रूरत है: हमारी दुनिया की सबसे कमज़ोर, सबसे वंचित महिलाओं और बच्चों की। अब मैं सिर्फ़ इतना कर सकता हूँ कि लोगों को इस बात से अवगत कराऊँ कि क्या हो रहा है, वे क्या कर रहे हैं। फिलहाल मैं सिर्फ़ इतना ही कर सकता हूँ।

What I learned in Guinea is that we are all responsible for the state of our world. The world - and the system by which we trade, share, cooperate and conflict - is clearly not working. We are only as strong as our weakest members. UNICEF is run at every level by strong, relentlessly energetic, deeply capable people who use that strength, energy and capability to help those who need it most: the weakest, most disadvantaged women and children of our world. All I can do now is help make people aware of what is happening, of what they are doing. That is all that I can do. For now.

जब लोग खुद को ज़्यादा पसंद नहीं करते, तो उन्हें बात-बात पर अपनी इस कमी की भरपाई करनी पड़ती है। क्लासिक या असली दबंग या बुली (Bully) दरअसल पहले खुद एक पीड़ित होता है।

When people don't like themselves very much, they have to make up for it. The classic bully was actually a victim first.

मैं इस बात को बहुत अच्छी तरह समझता हूँ कि किसी भी तरह का वास्तविक बदलाव लाने के लिए मुझमें कौशल की कमी है। मैं कोई डॉक्टर नहीं हूँ। मैं विदेश नीति को प्रभावित नहीं कर सकता। मैं स्कूल नहीं बनवा सकता। मैं प्रयोगशाला में ऐसा प्रोटीन पेस्ट नहीं बना सकता जो गंभीर कुपोषण से जूझ रहे लोगों की मदद कर सके। लेकिन मैं इसके बारे में आवाज़ उठा सकता हूँ, और आप भी उठा सकते हैं।

I am so profoundly aware of my lack of skill to make any material difference. I am not a doctor. I can't influence foreign policy. I can't build schools. I can't chemically engineer the protein paste that helps people with acute malnutrition. But I can talk about it, and so can you.

मैं रॉबर्ट डाउनी जूनियर को लोकी की भूमिका निभाते हुए, क्लार्क ग्रेग को 'थॉर' की भूमिका में और खुद को कैप्टन अमेरिका के रूप में 'द एवेंजर्स' में देखना पसंद करूँगा।

हर तरफ असमानता है, हर तरफ बँटवारा है, और मुझे इस बात की चिंता होती है। मुझे लगता है कि हर कोई इस बारे में सोचता है।

Everywhere there is inequality, everywhere there is division, and I worry about it. I think everybody does.

दौड़ने की खूबी यह है कि अगर मैं काम पर जाने से पहले सुबह-सुबह दौड़ लगा लूँ, तो मुझे ऐसा लगता है कि मैं आज के दिन में बाकी लोगों से आगे निकल गया हूँ। तैयारी, रिसर्च या किसी दृश्य या किरदार के बारे में सोचने के सिलसिले में मैंने जो भी काम किया हो, वह सब सुबह के उस पल में आकर एक आकार ले लेता है। और कभी-कभी तो मेरे पास सबसे बेहतरीन विचार उसी समय आते हैं।

The thing about running is, if I run in the morning before work, I feel like I'm ahead of the day. Whatever work I've done in terms of preparation or research or thinking about the scene or the character, it all kind of crystallizes in that moment in the morning. And sometimes I have the best ideas then.

मेरी प्रवृत्ति लोगों को असमंजस में रखने की है। मुझे लगता है कि एक अभिनेता के रूप में आपकी सबसे बड़ी ताकत आपकी बहुमुखी प्रतिभा (वर्सटिलिटी) है। कैनवास जितना सादा और खाली होगा, उस पर किसी किरदार का भ्रम पैदा करना उतना ही आसान होगा। मुझे लगता है कि कई अभिनेता ऐसा बहुत सफलतापूर्वक करते हैं।

My instinct is to keep people guessing. I think as an actor your greatest strength is your versatility, I suppose. The blanker the canvas, the easier it is to project the illusion of a character onto it. I think there are many actors who do that very successfully.

मैं सच में यह मानता हूँ कि एक अभिनेता के रूप में आप जो भी तैयारी करते हैं, वह सिर्फ़ आपके काम में मदद करती है और उसमें गहराई तथा जटिलता जोड़ती है।

Har insaan lajawab hai aur har ek ke saath ek alag hi tuning baithti hai. Adkari ka maza hi yahi hai—set par jaane se pehle aapko pata hi nahi hota ki cheezein kaise aage badhengi. Ye tennis khelne jaisa hai, jab tak aap apne khilaaf ke saamne na khade ho aur khel shuru na ho jaye, aap plan nahi kar sakte ki match kaisa hoga. Set par hone ka asli maza yahi hai.

Everybody is great and the chemistry is different with everyone. That is the joy of acting - you really don't know how it is going to go until you turn up. It's like playing tennis, you can't plan for the match you are going to play until you are actually up against your opponent and what happens, happens. That is the joy of being on set.

Maine kaafi aisi filmein ki hain jo kisi khaas daur ki kahaani kehti hain. Pata nahi kyun, log kehte hain ki mera chehra aisi historica ya period filmon ke liye bilkul fit baithta hai. British TV ki duniya ka toh jaise ye aam hissa hai—Jane Austen ke upar bane naatak, purane pul, lambe gown, naavein aur ghode.

I've done my share of period stuff. I'm not sure why, but people say I have a period face. The bread and butter of British TV is Jane Austen adaptations and bridges and bonnets and boats and horses.

Pehle vishv yuddh mein hui jaan ki bepanah barbaadi ne mujhe hamesha se bahut vichlit kiya hai. Mujhe yaad hai jab main bahut chhota tha, koi aath ya nau saal ka, toh maine apne teachers se poocha tha ki ye 'poppies' yaani laal phool kis liye hote hain. Har saal teachers achanak apne coat par ye laal kaagzi phool lagate the, aur main poochta tha, 'Iska kya matlab hai?'

I always found the extraordinary loss of life in the First World War very moving. I remember learning about it as a very young child, as an eight- or nine-year-old, asking my teachers what poppies were for. Every year the teachers would suddenly wear these red paper flowers in their lapels, and I would say 'What does that mean?'

I loved adventure movies. I loved movies where people went on an adventure to an unknown land, an undiscovered country, or a new territory. I think there's something, right at the center of storytelling, that people love about that.

Main hamesha se dekhna chahta tha ki America kaisa hai. 20s ki umr mein jab main [London mein] theatre mein kaam kar raha tha, tab mere andar ye jigyasa thi... LA ko lekar ek alag hi rahasya tha aur main sochta tha ki wahan aakhir hota kya hai. Main khud jaakar dekhna chahta tha aur mujhe khushi hai ki main gaya.

I always wanted to see what America was like. I had that curiosity in my 20s when I was working in the theatre here [ in London]... there was the mystery of LA and I wondered what happened over there. I wanted to go and check it out and I'm pleased that I have.

Sabse behtareen comedy wahi hoti hai jo bilkul seedhi aur sateek tarike se ki jaye.

The best comedy is always played straight down the middle.

As an actor, it's much, much easier to be really nasty to someone that you really like.

Mujhe kisi cheez se darr nahi lagta. Main bas utsahit ho jaata hoon.

Mujhe kal hi pata chala ki Twitter par mere hasne ke tareeqe ka bhi ek alag account hai. Aisi cheezon ke aadi hone mein waqt lagta hai. Ye kaafi ajeeb aur mazedaar hai.

I was informed yesterday that there's a Twitter account for my laugh. Very hard to get used to things like that. Pretty amazing.

Mujhe lagta hai ki shuruati saal, yaani zindagi ka pehla dasak, sabse zyada asar daalta hai aur aapki shakhsiyat ko tarashta hai.

'Thor' mein, wo mere apne baal the. Maine unhe badhaya tha. Lekin mere baal qudrati taur par ghungraale aur sunehre hain, isliye main waise kabhi nahi dikh sakta tha. Jab tak main 'The Avengers' tak pahuncha, tab tak main doosri filmon mein kaam kar raha tha jinke liye baal bahut chhote rakhne pade. Isliye maine unhe phir se rang liya aur baal itne lambe the ki mere apne maathe ki hairline ka thoda hissa use ho sake.

In 'Thor,' that was my own hair. I grew it out. But I have naturally curly, blonde hair, so I'll never look like that. By the time I got to 'The Avengers,' I had come off two other films, which required me to have it very short. So I dyed it again and it was long enough to use a part of my hairline.

1917 tak ye ek aam taur par European yuddh hi tha, jab tak ki America ismein shaamil nahi hua. Unke andar maasumiyat ke khatam hone ya itni badi taadad mein logon ke maare jaane ka wo dard ya ehsaas nahi hai. Ek poori ki poori peedi is yuddh ki bhent chadh gayi thi.

It was quite a European war until 1917, when the Americans joined up. They don't have the same sense of the loss of innocence and the cataclysmic loss of life. A whole generation was wiped out.

Mujhe ye behad dilchasp lagta hai. Ye bilkul le Carré jaisa hai. Unke bachpan ya jawani ki jhalak ismein zaroor hogi. Wo ek bahut hi dilchasp shakhsiyat hain. Main "passive" shabd istemal nahi karna chahta kyunki unke chupchaap rehne ke tareeqe mein bhi ek alag si sargarmion bhari taakat hoti hai, agar aap is baat ko samjhein: unka dekhne aur sunne ka andaaz behad sakriy hota hai. Wo hamesha zinda-dil rehte hain kyunki aakhirkar, wo ek jaasose hain.

I think that is so interesting. It is le Carré. There must be so much of him when he was younger. He's an interesting character. I don't want to say the word "passive" because there is something very active about the way he is passive, if that makes any sense: the nature of his watching and his listening is active. It is always so alive because he is, essentially, a spy.

Kisi se milne ke pehle 10 minat tak, unke andar kisi film star jaisa hi charisma aur rohb hota hai. Phir jab aap unke saath coffee peete hain, toh aapko ehsaas hota hai ki hum sab ek jaise hain, hum sab aam insaan hi hain. The Avengers ke sabhi actors itne acche hain. Marvel ke paas apne projects ke liye code names hote hain aur The Avengers ka code name 'Group Hug' tha. Set par sachmuch aisa hi lagta tha maano hum sab ek doosre ko gale laga rahe hon.

For the first 10 minutes after you meet them, they have the wattage and charisma of movie stars. Then you have a coffee with them and you realize we're all the same, we're all just people. All of the actors in The Avengers are so nice. Marvel has these code names for projects and the code name for The Avengers was Group Hug. It felt very much like a group hug on set.

Hum space aur time mein safar kar rahe hain, devtaon aur danavon se larr rahe hain, lekin mere nazariye se is film ke dil mein ek parivaar hi hai—ek pita, do bete, do bhai, ek maa aur unke aapas ke wohi takraar bhare, qareebi rishte.

We're travelling through space and time, we're dealing with gods and monsters, but at the heart of the film, from my perspective, is a family - a father, two sons, two brothers, a mother and the fractious, intimate interaction that they have.

Meri zindagi mein aise daur zaroor aate hain jab mera mood kisi khaas tarah ka hota hai, ya mere dimaag mein ek alag hi kalpna chal rahi hoti hai, aur main kuch khaas cheezon ki taraf khinchta chala jaata hoon. Main mehsoos kar sakta hoon jab main kisi aisi cheez se door ho raha hota hoon jismein kabhi meri ruchi thi—chahe wo koi vichar ho ya rishton ko samajhne ki koshish. Tab main sochta hoon, 'Theek hai, ab maine yeh kar liya hai aur ab main ise dobara nahi karna chahta.'

I definitely go through periods where I'm in a particular mood, or there's a consistent imaginative context that I feel I'm in, and I'm drawn to certain things. I can sometimes feel it when I'm moving away from something that I was once interested in - an idea or an exploration of particular relationships. I go, 'Well, I think I've done that and I don't want to do it again.'

Sacch kahoon toh, main varg-bhed (class system) ka koi bada fan nahi hoon. Mujhe ye bahut galat lagta hai. Agar aapke paas kehne ke liye kuch khaas hai aur aapka kaam accha hai, toh isse koi fark nahi padta ki aap kahan se aate hain.

I’m not a big fan of the class system, to be honest. It feels ugly to me. If you’ve got something to say and the work is good, it doesn’t matter where you come from

Mujhe jo hissa sabse zyada pasand hai, wo hai acting, sachchi mein. Lekin ek celebrity hone ke tamashe mein meri koi khaas ruchi nahi hai. Mujhe ye sab bada ajeeb lagta hai.

The bit I love is I really love acting, really, and the circus of being a celebrity is something I'm sort of not interested in. I find it strange.

Agar aap khas taur par boys school mein padhe hain, toh wahan ek alag hi rohb aur akad banaye rakhni padti hai, nahi toh log aapko pareshan karne lagte hain.

If you are at a boys' school, especially, there is a level of bravado that you have to keep up otherwise you'll get picked on.

Main is baat par yakeen karta hoon ki zindagi mein buraai ya paap ke jitne bhi roop dikhte hain, unke peechhe koi na koi bhavnatmak wajah zaroor hoti hai. Wo kisi na kisi dil ke tootne ya maansik chot se paida hote hain. Main koi psychologist nahi hoon aur shayad yehi behtar hai, lekin mujhe ismein dilchaspi zaroor hai.

I do sort of believe that in life all manifestations of evil usually come from an emotional place. They come from some kind of emotional heartbreak or some psychological damage. I'm not a psychologist and that's probably for the best but I am interested in it.

अभिनय कुछ-कुछ टेनिस जैसा है, जिसे आप अकेले नहीं खेल सकते।

Acting is a bit like tennis in that you can't really do it on your own.

अगर आप चलकर किसी के पास जा सकते हैं और उसका हाल-चाल पूछ सकते हैं, तो ईमेल भेजने के बजाय वही कीजिए। यह हमेशा ज़्यादा सुखद होता है और इसमें अपनापन भी असली होता है। अगर आपके पास कहने के लिए कुछ है और आप उसे सामने वाले की आँखों में आँखें डालकर कह सकते हैं, तो यह बहुत बेहतर और सेहतमंद तरीका है।

If you can run around the corner and say hello to someone do that instead of emailing. It's always more rewarding; the connection is always more authentic. If you've got something to say and you can say it someone's face, it's so much better, healthier.

खैर, मुझे ठीक से याद नहीं। जब मैंने अनुबंध पर हस्ताक्षर किए थे, तो मार्वल की पाँच और फ़िल्मों में लोकी का किरदार निभाने की बात थी, लेकिन वे तय नहीं थीं। इसलिए, आगे और फ़िल्में बनेंगी या नहीं, यह तो वक्त ही बताएगा; पर मुझे यह विचार बहुत पसंद है कि लोकी अचानक कहीं से भी प्रकट हो जाए जहाँ लोग उसकी बिल्कुल उम्मीद न करें। हालांकि इन चीज़ों का कुछ पता नहीं चलता, दुनिया और हालात बदलते रहते हैं, लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि मैं लोकी को अच्छी तरह जानता हूँ, इसलिए मुझे इसमें कोई आपत्ति नहीं होगी।

Well, I don't know. When I signed my contract, I signed to play Loki in five more Marvel movies, but they were unspecified. So, if there will be more movies or not remains to be seen, but I like the idea of Loki turning up in the shadows when people least expect him, but you never know these things, the world changes and the things change, but I feel like I know who Loki is, so I wouldn't mind.

अगर आप इसे बहुत साधारण या गंभीर तरीक़े से निभाएँ, तभी यह मज़ेदार बनता है — बेहतरीन कॉमेडी हमेशा सधे हुए अंदाज़ में ही की जाती है। इसकी खूबी यह समझने में है कि पटकथा में कौन सा पल बेहद हास्यप्रद है।

क्रिस हेम्सवर्थ, क्रिस्टोफर रीव की तरह हैं जो दो काम एक साथ बखूबी कर सकते हैं: वे बिना किसी झिझक के लाल रंग का बड़ा सा चोगा पहन सकते हैं। साथ ही, वे बेहद मज़ेदार और बहुत प्यारे इंसान हैं। अजनबी जैसी स्थितियों वाले उन दृश्यों में वे काफ़ी हास्य पैदा करते हैं। यानी एक तरह से वे एक साथ दो भूमिकाएँ निभा रहे होते हैं।

Chris Hemsworth is like Christopher Reeve in that he can do two things: he can wear a big red cape without a shred of self-consciousness. But he's also funny as hell, and he's so sweet. So with all the fish-out-of-water stuff, he's so funny. So he does almost two jobs in a way.

एक खुशहाल बचपन देने के लिए मैं अपने माता-पिता का जितना शुक्रिया अदा करूँ, कम है। आज मुझे समझ आता है कि उन्होंने मुझे जो संबल दिया, वह वाकई बहुत अनमोल है।

हम सब, इस तथाकथित सभ्य दुनिया में रहते हुए भी, इस बात को लेकर हमेशा उत्सुक रहते हैं कि अगर हम किसी ऐसे अनछुए द्वीप पर पहुँच जाएँ जहाँ इंसानों के कदम न पड़े हों, तो हम कैसे जीवित रहेंगे।

We're all intrigued, in our civilized world that we live in, and curious about how we would get on, on an undiscovered island that is untouched by man.

I think there's a part of all of us that wonders how we would survive on an island untouched by Man. Even better, an island untouched by Man and inhabited by King Kong.

कैम्ब्रिज का अभिनय जगत मुझे बेहद पसंद है। डेरेक जैकोबी और इयान मैकेलन के समय से लेकर एम्मा थॉमस और ह्यू लॉरी तक, यहाँ के कलाकारों में अभिनय के प्रति एक गहरी प्रतिबद्धता और गंभीरता रही है।

I love the acting community at Cambridge. It's really quite committed and serious, since the days of Derek Jacobi and Ian McKellen right through to Emma Thompson and Hugh Laurie.
