जब आप वाकई सफल हो जाते हैं, और एक जाने-माने निर्देशक बन जाते हैं, तो लोग खुद आपको किसी वीडियो के लिए कोई आइडिया सुझाने देते हैं और उसे बनाने की पूरी छूट देते हैं।

When you actually get successful, if you became a recognized director, people would let you come up with an idea for a video and they would let you do it.

स्क्रिप्ट पूरी होने के बाद, मैं उसे एक महीने के लिए एक तरफ रख देती हूँ। फिर मैं उन सभी फिल्मों के बारे में सोचने लगती हूँ जिन्होंने मुझे प्रभावित किया है, जिन्हें मैंने अलग-अलग कारणों से पसंद किया है—और ज़रूरी नहीं कि उनका लुक वैसा हो, बल्कि वे फिल्में जिन्होंने मुझे अंदर से झकझोरा हो। उस समय कुछ बहुत अजीब सी फिल्में मेरे दिमाग में आईं।

Once the script is done, I put it aside for a month. I start thinking of all the films that have influenced me, which I have liked for different reasons, and not necessarily the look, but films that have moved me. Some very strange films came to mind.

आप किसी छोटी सी बात को भी बहुत बड़ी बात महसूस करा सकते हैं। मेरे लिए, सब कुछ टोन (सुर या लहजे) पर निर्भर करता है। दुनिया में सबसे महत्वपूर्ण चीज़ टोन है। उसके बाद पात्र, फिर कहानी, या कुछ ऐसा ही।

You can make a little thing feel like a big thing. To me, it's all tone. Tone is the most important thing in the world. Then character, then story, or something like that.

क्या उन्नीसवीं सदी के उपन्यासों के लेखकों ने आज के लेखकों की तुलना में ज़्यादा खुले दिल से रचनाएँ कीं? समकालीन साहित्य को मोटे तौर पर पढ़ने पर क्या आपको बहुत सारे नए और अलग तरह के पात्र दिखाई देते हैं, या फिर वही एक पात्र बार-बार नजर आता है जो असल में लेखक का ही रूप होता है? यह बात दिलचस्प तो है, लेकिन इसे मैं एक कमजोरी मानती हूँ। हम अपने बारे में बहुत कुछ खोलकर रख देते हैं, लेकिन बार-बार नए लोग (पात्र) गढ़ने में असमर्थ होते जाते हैं।

Did the nineteenth-century novelists create more generously than we do now? In a general reading of contemporary work, do you see a lot of new and different characters, or is it the same character who is a stand-in for the writer? And it's interesting enough, but it's a weakness I think. We are much more self-revealing and less able to produce new people over and over again.

जिसे इस उद्योग में "हाइफनेट" कहा जाता है, यानी संगीतकार-अभिनेता या लेखक-संगीतकार-अभिनेता होना, वह मेरे लिए बेहद स्वाभाविक है।

There's something really natural to me about being what they call in the business a "hyphenate." Being a musician-actor or writer-musician-actor.

भले ही मैं एक अभिनेत्री के रूप में लगातार परफॉर्म कर रही थी और बचपन में मैंने इतने सारे नाटक किए थे, लेकिन एक संगीतकार होने में एक ऐसी संवेदनशीलता होती है जो किसी और के काम को परफॉर्म करने पर नहीं मिलती।

Even though I was performing all the time as an actress and I was doing all of these plays as a kid, there's a vulnerability about being a musician that you don't get [when] you perform somebody else's work.

मुझे लगता है कि हमारे लिए हमेशा से एक दिलचस्प बात यह रही है कि लोग हमारे संगीत या बैंड को अपने तरीके से कैसे समझते हैं। हमारे लिए व्यक्तिगत रूप से इस तरह की सहभागिता (interactivity) वाकई बहुत शानदार है, लेकिन मैं समझ सकती हूँ कि कुछ बैंड्स के लिए अपनी आवाज़ और अपनी पहचान को लोगों तक पहुँचाना थोड़ा चुनौतीपूर्ण हो सकता है।

I think something for us that we're always interested in is how people interpret the music or the band for themselves, and that sort of level of interactivity for us specifically is really awesome, but I can imagine for some bands the ability to make your sound and make your identity known could be challenging.

अपनी रचनात्मक क्षमता को मजबूत और सक्रिय रखना महत्वपूर्ण है। हालाँकि, मेरी सबसे प्रेरणादायक विधि सिर्फ एक अकॉर्डिक गिटार (acoustic guitar) के साथ बैठना और धुनें तैयार करना है। जब मैं नौ साल का था तब से मैं यही कर रहा हूँ।

It's important to keep your creative muscle strong and working. My most inspiring method though is just sitting down with an acoustic guitar and coming up with melodies. It's what I've been doing nice I was nine years old.

आप किसी को यह नहीं समझा सकते कि अपनों को खोने का दर्द क्या होता है, लेकिन आप उसके बैकग्राउंड में संगीत बजाकर उसे अपना दर्द महसूस करने में मदद ज़रूर कर सकते हैं। मैं बहुत खुशनसीब हूँ कि मेरे पास एक ऐसा ज़रिया है जिससे मैं अपने सारे तजुर्बे बयां कर सकता हूँ और उन पर बात कर सकता हूँ।
