Creativity Quotes

नौकरी के लिहाज़ से अभिनय सबसे शुद्ध आनंद है, लेकिन अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता के मामले में यह सीमित हो सकता है। आप कभी भी कहानी के मालिक नहीं होते, बल्कि उसका सिर्फ एक हिस्सा होते हैं। लेकिन लिखना और निर्देशन करना आपको भगवान जैसी शक्ति देता है।

Acting is the most pure fun as far as jobs go, but it can be limiting in terms of freedom of expression. You are never the master of the story, just a part of it. But writing and directing give you the power of the gods.

अलग-अलग विधाओं के साथ मिलकर काम करने का सबसे बड़ा खतरा यह होता है कि काम का बँटवारा बहुत सख्त हो जाता है—मेरे मामले में, सिर्फ संगीत तक सीमित रह जाने का खतरा। जब मैं कोई एल्बम बनाता हूँ, तो मैं संगीत लिखता हूँ, बोल लिखता हूँ, उसका विज़ुअल डिज़ाइन तैयार करता हूँ, और भी बहुत कुछ करता हूँ। मुझे यह सब करने का मौका मिलता है।

The danger of these collaborations across disciplines is in having too strict of a division of labor - in my case, of getting stuck doing the music. When I make an album, I write music, I write lyrics, I come up with the visual design, etc. I get to do all of that stuff.

मेरे लिए यह अच्छी बात है कि संगीत रचना के ऐसे अलग-अलग अंदाज़ किसी रिकॉर्ड में साथ-साथ रहें, क्योंकि उनके परिणाम बहुत अलग और दिलचस्प होते हैं।

For me, it's good to have those dissimilar modes of songwriting sit side-by-side on a record, because they yield such different results.

जिन कलाकारों ने प्रयोगधर्मी नवाचार किए हैं, वे सौंदर्यशास्त्र के पैमानों से प्रेरित रहे हैं: उनका उद्देश्य दृश्य अनुभूतियों (visual perceptions) को पेश करना होता है। उनके लक्ष्य अस्पष्ट होते हैं, इसलिए उनकी प्रक्रिया आज़माना और धीरे-धीरे आगे बढ़ने वाली होती है।

Artists who have produced experimental innovations have been motivated by aesthetic criteria: they have aimed at presenting visual perceptions. Their goals are imprecise, so their procedure is tentative and incremental.

हर गाना किसी नई शुरुआत की तरह होता है। क्योंकि किसी न किसी तरह, एक गाने का फॉर्मूला दूसरे पर काम नहीं करता। और यही इस सबकी खूबसूरती है। हर गाने की किस्मत उसके डीएनए में ही छुपी होती है। और हमारा काम उसे बाहर लाना होता है।

Еach song is like starting over. Because somehow, no song's formula works for another. And that's the beauty of it all. Each song's destiny is embedded in its DNA. And our job is to reveal it.

गाने की शुरुआत तब होती है जब मैं ऐसे बुनियादी रिफ़्स लेकर आता हूँ जिसे आप अंतरा और मुखड़ा, यानी ए और बी पार्ट... जो भी कह सकें, कह सकते हैं। और कभी-कभी सी या डी पार्ट भी। वह एक आसान, या कम से कम थोड़ी आसान प्रक्रिया है। असली मुश्किल हिस्सा यह पता लगाना होता है कि चीज़ों को एक साथ पिरोने का वह खास और बेहतरीन तरीका क्या है - ए (A) को बी (B) से पहले कितनी बार बजाना है और वापस कब लौटना है, और दूसरा अंतरा पहले वाले से कैसे अलग है। बस यही सब हमारे पास होता है।

Songs start with my bringing in the basic riffs for what you might call a verse and a chorus, an A and a B part...whatever. And sometimes a C and even a D. That's kind of the easy, or at least easier part. The hard part is finding that special, perfect way to order things - how many times to do A before B and back and how the second verse differs from the first. That's all we got.

कई सारे उत्साही और ऊर्जावान संगीत - जिनमें फ्री जैज़ और फंक शामिल हैं - हमेशा से हमारी बहुत बड़ी प्रेरणा रहे हैं।

The numerous ecstatic traditions - including free jazz and funk - have all been great inspirations.

मुझे ड्रोन संगीत के नाम रखते समय थोड़ा बढ़ा-चढ़ाकर भव्यता दिखाना पसंद है, जबकि गानों के नाम एकदम संक्षिप्त होते हैं, शायद। मेरा मतलब है, अगर मैं सचमुच एक कट्टरपंथी होता, तो चीज़ों के नाम "लॉन्ग पीस #27" या "न्यूएस्ट फ़ास्ट सॉन्ग" रखता, लेकिन मुझे नाम रखना अच्छा लगता है और रिहर्सल के दौरान या सेट-लिस्ट बनाते समय यह मददगार होता है।

I like to go for a certain over-the-top opulence when naming the drone pieces whereas the song titles are all about concision, I guess. I mean, if I were truly a purist, I'd call things, "Long Piece #27" or "Newest Fast Song", but I enjoy titling and it is helpful at rehearsals or when making set-lists.

उन्नीसवीं शताब्दी की शुरुआत से, फ़्रैंज़ लिज़्त् जैसे कलाकारों के साथ, ऐसे संगीतकार सामने आए जो श्रोताओं में जोश भरने और एक बिल्कुल नए स्तर पर संवाद करने में सक्षम थे।

Beginning in the nineteenth century, with performers like Franz Liszt, were musicians who were able to excite an audience and communicate on a whole new level.

मैं भाग्यशाली रहा हूँ कि मुझे कुछ दिलचस्प किरदार निभाने का मौका मिला - मैं 'स्वीनी टॉड' का किरदार निभाना चाहूँगा।

I've been lucky and have played some interesting characters - I'd quite like to play Sweeny Todd.

मैंने भी बाकी सभी संगीतकारों की तरह छोटे समूहों के लिए लिखकर शुरुआत की थी। चैंबर ग्रुप्स के लिए।

I began like all composers, writing for small groups. Chamber groups.

जब मैंने पहली बार ऑर्केस्ट्रा के लिए संगीत लिखा था, तब मुझे यह अहसास नहीं था कि जब 20 लोग एक साथ वायलिन की धुन बजाते हैं, तो उसका असर किसी एक व्यक्ति द्वारा वही धुन बजाने से कितना अलग होता है।

When I first wrote for orchestra, I didn't realize, when you have 20 people playing a violin line, that is very different than one person playing that line.

सपने के बीच में मैंने खुद से कहा 'पॉज दबाओ' और सपने में ही मैंने कहा कि मैं इसे लिख लूँगा। लेकिन बिस्तर से उठकर उसे लिखने में मुझे इस बात का इतना डर था कि मैं कहानी का बाकी हिस्सा भूल जाऊँगा। और मुझे यह जानना था कि आगे क्या होता है। इसलिए मैंने 'प्ले' दबा दिया। जब वह खत्म हुआ, तो मेरे मन में एक पक्का यकीन था कि मैं इसे कभी नहीं भूलूँगा। सच कहूँ तो मेरे चेहरे पर एक मुस्कान थी। नींद में ही मुझे यह अहसास हो चुका था। और आज मैं यहाँ हूँ। कल ही मैं इसे अपने कुत्तों को पढ़कर सुना रहा था। मुझे यह सब आज भी काफी अविश्वसनीय लगता है।

In the middle of the dream I said to myself 'press pause' and in the dream I said I'm going to write this down. But I was so frightened to get out of bed and write it down that I would miss the rest of the story. And I had to know what happens. And I pressed play. When I finished there was a knowing that I would never forget this. I literally had a smile. There was a knowing in my sleep. And here I am. I was actually reading it to my dogs yesterday. I still find it quite incredible.

बचपन में, मैं रेम्ब्रायड के पोर्ट्रेट्स की प्रतियां देखा करता था... उनकी पेंटिंग में लोग इतने जीवंत लगते थे कि मुझे लगता था मैं उन्हें अच्छी तरह जानता हूँ... चित्रकार की अपने मॉडल के प्रति सहानुभूति और पेंट के इस्तेमाल में उसकी महारत ने तब मेरी कल्पना को झकझोर दिया था, और आज भी मैं उसी को हासिल करने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ।

As a boy, I used to look at reproductions of Rembrandt's portraits... the people in his paintings were so real I felt I knew them... It is his empathy for the sitter, combined with his enjoyment and dexerity in handling paint that captured my imagination then, and is what I am striving for still.

पिछले गानों में मैं आमतौर पर किसी कहानी या विचार से शुरुआत करता था और उसके आसपास गाना लिखता था, लेकिन 'अकिलीस हील' के मामले में मैंने बस लिखना शुरू कर दिया और गाने तथा अपने अवचेतन मन को ही उसकी दिशा तय करने दी। सीधे शब्दों में कहूँ तो मैंने पहले से यह तय करने की कोशिश नहीं की कि गाना या उसके किरदार कैसे होंगे और क्या करेंगे।

On past records I usually did start with a story or an idea for a song and then write around it, but on Achilles' Heel I would just start writing and try to let the song and my sub-conscience determine the direction. which is a goofy way of saying I tried not to decide before hand what the song and or the characters would do and be like.

मैं अक्सर रूप-आकार (फॉर्म) पर हमला करने, उसे थोड़ा तोड़ने या पिघलाने के लिए रंगों का इस्तेमाल करता हूँ। लेकिन 'शुद्ध' रंग या किसी अलौकिक उपस्थिति के रूप में रंगत में मेरी बिल्कुल भी दिलचस्पी नहीं है... इसलिए अगर मैं आकारों को पिघलाने के लिए रंगों का इस्तेमाल करता हूँ, तो साथ ही रंगों को उनकी रोजमर्रा की जिंदगी से पूरी तरह कट जाने से बचाने के लिए आकारों का सहारा भी लेता हूँ।

I often use colour to attack form, to break it down a little or begin to dissolve it. But I am not at all interested in 'pure' colour or in colour as a transcendental presence... So if I use colours to begin to dissolve forms, I also use forms to prevent colours becoming entirely detached from their everyday existence.

गाई के शायद मेरे सबसे पसंदीदा लेखक हैं और मैं सबसे ज्यादा उन्हीं की तरह लिखना चाहता हूँ।

Guy Kay is probably my favorite and the writer I most want to emulate.

मैंने यह समझ लिया था कि कला मेरे लिए सबसे बेहतरीन जगह होगी क्योंकि यहाँ नई भाषाओं के आविष्कार को बढ़ावा दिया जाता है।

I figured out that art would be the perfect place for me because what's encouraged is the invention of languages.

Mujhe naye aur yuva artists bahut pasand hain jo samne aa rahe hain, jisme Adele bhi shamil hai. Shayad koi bhi uske sath kaam karne ke liye pagal ho jayega. Uske kisi gaane par saxophone ka solo bajana mere liye zindagi ka sabse bada pal hoga.

I love a lot of the young, new artists who are coming up, including Adele. I suppose anybody would freak out to work with her. To be able to play a saxophone solo on one of her songs would be the most ultimate thing ever.

Mere kuch sabse acche dost hain jinhone Broadway shows likhe hain. Allee Willis aur Brenda Russell ne 'The Color Purple' likhi thi jise haal hi mein Broadway par fir se shuru kiya gaya tha. Mere liye yeh ek bilkul alag tarah ki zimmedari hai jo aapko nibhani padti hai, lekin music toh music hota hai. Broadway show karna ek aisa mauka hoga jo main pana chahunga.

Some of my best friends have written Broadway shows. Allee Willis and Brenda Russell wrote The Color Purple which has been recently revived on Broadway. That to me is such a different hat that you have to wear, but music is music. A Broadway show is something I would love to have the opportunity to do.
