अमेरिका हमेशा से मेरा एक बहुत बड़ा सपना रहा है, अगर यह कहें कि इकलौता सपना था तो गलत नहीं होगा। मैं हमेशा से अमेरिका बसना चाहता था। मैं हमेशा यहाँ आकर देखना चाहता था कि क्या-क्या अवसर उपलब्ध हैं। जब मैं ऑस्ट्रेलिया में था, तो मुझे अभिनय के लिए साल में मुश्किल से दो-एक ऑडिशन ही मिल पाते थे।

मैं महिलाओं से, और खासकर तब जब डेमोक्रेट महिलाएं मुझसे कहती हैं, "क्या इसके लिए कोई कोटा नहीं होना चाहिए?" या "क्या इस मंच पर महिलाओं के लिए एक निश्चित सीटें नहीं होनी चाहिए?", तो मैं अक्सर उनसे कहती हूँ कि मैं कभी नहीं चाहूंगी कि मुझे कोई पद इसलिए मिले क्योंकि मैं एक महिला हूँ। मैं चाहती हूँ कि मुझे वह पद इसलिए मिले क्योंकि मैं उस काम के लिए सबसे योग्य व्यक्ति थी।

जब लोग बैठकर यह तय करते हैं कि "इस प्रोजेक्ट के लिए हमारे शीर्ष 10, 20 या 30 निर्देशकों की सूची में कौन होना चाहिए?", तो औरतों के नाम अक्सर छोड़ दिए जाते हैं। हमें ऐसे लोगों की ज़रूरत है—चाहे वे महिलाएँ हों जो इस मुद्दे की परवाह करती हैं, या पुरुष जो इसके प्रति संवेदनशील हों—जो उस कमरे में बैठें और कहें, "दोस्तों, महिलाएँ कहाँ हैं? हमें महिलाओं को मौका देना चाहिए।" और खासकर उन प्रोजेक्ट्स में जहाँ वाक़ई एक ताज़ा स्त्री-दृष्टिकोण की ज़रूरत होती है, फिर चाहे उसका जो भी मतलब निकले।

Women still routinely get passed over when everyone sits around the table and says, "What's our list of 10, 20, 30 directors that we wanna put at the top of our list for this project?" You need more people who are either women who care about this issue or men who care about this issue, who are sitting in this room and saying, "Guys, where are the women? We need to be going out to women." And particularly in the projects that really could use a fresh feminine perspective, whatever that ultimately means.

मैं हमेशा से चाहती थी कि डबिंग (वॉइस ओवर) मेरे करियर का हिस्सा बने। बचपन में भी, मैं कार्टून देखती थी और जानती थी कि कोई न कोई इन आवाज़ों के पीछे है। जब मैं लॉस एंजिल्स गई, तो मेरी उम्मीद थी कि मैं कैमरे के सामने भी काम करूँगी और वॉइस ओवर भी। अंततः मैंने दोनों ही किए, लेकिन वॉइस ओवर का काम इस तरह चल निकला जिसकी मैंने उम्मीद भी नहीं की थी!

I always wanted voice over to be part of my career. Even as a child, I'd watch cartoons and know that someone was doing the voices.

साझेदारियाँ बहुत बड़ी हो सकती हैं। आपके बनाए गए संबंध इसमें मदद कर सकते हैं। यदि आप एक ऐसा व्यवसायिक प्लान बनाते हैं जो समझदारी भरा हो और जिसे आप दूसरों के सामने पेश कर सकें, तो वे आपकी मदद कर सकते हैं, खासकर तब जब आपके पास पैसों की कमी हो। एंजेल निवेशक शायद मदद कर सकें। आपको शायद किसी पारंपरिक बैंक के पास जाने की जरूरत न पड़े। यदि आप फंडिंग सुरक्षित करने में सक्षम नहीं हैं, तो आप किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति के साथ जुड़ सकते हैं जिसके पास अनुभव हो, उस व्यक्ति से सीख सकते हैं और अपनी मेहनत से आगे बढ़ सकते हैं।

Partnerships can be very big. The relationships you cultivate can help. If you put together a business plan that makes sense and that you can present to other people, they may be able to help you out, especially if you're short of cash. Angel investors, perhaps, may help. You may not have to go through a traditional bank. If you're not able to secure funding, you can get up under someone who has experience, learn from that person, and work your way up.

मैं आम तौर पर उन चीजों का बिजनेस चुनता हूँ जिनकी लोगों को जरूरत होती है। जाहिर है कि बारबर शॉप (बाल काटने की दुकान) के मामले में, अर्थव्यवस्था चाहे जैसी भी हो, लोगों को बाल कटवाने की जरूरत पड़ेगी ही। मंदी के दौर में, मैं ऐसे बिजनेस चुनता हूँ जिनमें बहुत ज्यादा शुरुआती पूंजी की या लगातार पैसे झोंकने की जरूरत न पड़े। शुरुआत में भले ही कुछ पैसों की जरूरत पड़े, लेकिन उसके बाद बार-बार नहीं। मंदी के दौर में प्रॉपर्टी किराए पर देना एक अच्छा बिजनेस है क्योंकि तब लोग अपने होम लोन (मॉर्टगेज) चुकाने के लिए संघर्ष कर रहे होते हैं।

I tend to go with things people need. Obviously with the barbershop, people will need haircuts regardless of the economy. In a down economy, I choose businesses that don't require a lot of start-up cash or a cash injection on a regular basis. They might need some initially, but not often after. Rental of properties is a good business in a down economy as people struggle with mortgages.

Un gunon mein se ek, jise naye naye netritva ki shuruat karne wale logon ke liye seekhna sabse kathin lagta hai, woh hai yatharthwadi sakaratmakta (realistic optimism)। Iske liye yeh samajhna zaroori hai ki hamara jeevan ka anubhav kaafi had tak hamare apne haath mein hai, aur hamari sthitiyan, chahe achi hon ya buri, mukhyatah is baat par nirbhar karti hain ki hum har pal milne wale avsaron ka kitna fayda utha pate hain। Jo log zindagi ko is tarah dekhte hain mano yeh unke niyantran mein hi nahi hai, ya fir apni halat ke liye doosron ko doshi thehrate hain, unke liye aage badhna hamesha mushkil ho jata hai।

One of the capabilities, which seems to be the most difficult for aspiring leaders to maste is realistic optimism. It requires one to recognize that our experience of life is largely up to us, that our situations, good or bad, are largely due to our ability on a moment-to-moment basis to capitalize on opportunity. Those that approach life as if it is largely outside of their own control, or that others are largely to blame for their circumstances, generally find growth elusive.
