कुल मिलाकर, आज आप पॉप कल्चर का कोई भी ऐसा संदर्भ नहीं दे सकते जिसके बाद कोई यह न कहे कि यह तो टारनिनो शैली का है या पोस्ट-टारनिनो है, और मैं सोचता हूँ कि आखिर यह सब कहाँ से आ रहा है? यह बहुत बेतुका है। हालांकि इसमें उनकी कोई गलती नहीं है।

Basically, you can't make a pop culture reference now without someone saying it's Tarantino-esque or post-Tarantino and I'm like where's that all come from? It's ridiculous. But it's not his fault.

मुझे लगता है कि मेरे पिता अपने जीवन के अंतिम दौर में इस बात से जूझ रहे थे कि अब यह बदलाव कैसे आ गया है। वे अपनी बुक टूर पर जाते और अपने शो करते और वह सब संतोषजनक और अच्छा होता, लेकिन उन्हें वह प्रभाव नहीं मिलता था जो पहले मिला करता था और इसका कारण यह नहीं था कि लोगों की दिलचस्पी कम हो गई थी। बात सिर्फ इतनी थी कि लोग अपने सामने मौजूद मनोरंजन और जानकारी के लाखों अलग-अलग स्रोतों की वजह से विचलित हो चुके हैं।

I think that one of the things that my dad was grappling with towards the end was how that shift had happened now and he would go on a book tour and do his shows and it would be you know fulfilling and good, but he wouldn't have the same impact that he used to and it wasn't because people were less interested. It's just because people are distracted by the million different sources of entertainment and information in front of them at any given time.

जब भी वीडियो गेम पर आधारित फ़िल्में बनती हैं, तो मुझे हमेशा ऐसा लगता है कि गेमर्स के साथ ही धोखा होता है, क्योंकि वे बाकी सभी को ध्यान में रखकर फ़िल्म बनाते हैं और असली गेमर्स को सबसे आखिर में रखते हैं।

Whenever you get game adaptations, it strikes me that it's always the gamers who get mugged because they try and make it for everyone else first and the actual gamers last.

कैमरे का नजरिया बिल्कुल हत्यारे जैसा होता है: अब यह उन पर्यटकों को शूट करता है जो अपनी खुद की यादगारी तस्वीरें खींच रहे होते हैं, और हम इसे रीयल-टाइम में देख सकते हैं।

The camera's perspective exactly matches that of the assassin: it now shoots the tourists shooting their own memorial photos, and we can watch this in real time.

प्रशंसकों की शो और उसके रचनाकारों तक सीधी पहुँच होती है, भले ही वह हमेशा प्रत्यक्ष न हो। मैं किसी ऐसे टेलीविज़न रचयिता को नहीं जानता जो मैसेज बोर्ड्स पर नज़र न रखता हो। यह देखने के लिए कि क्या चीज़ काम कर रही है और क्या नहीं, और कौन सी चीज़ उम्मीद से कहीं बेहतर काम कर रही है, प्रतिक्रिया इतनी तुरंत मिल जाती है।

The fans have access to the show and the creators, even if it's not direct. I don't know any television creators that don't follow the message boards. The feedback is so immediate, to see what is working and what isn't, and what's working better than you anticipated.

यदि आप 2012 के चुनाव की परवाह करते हैं और उन आम अमेरिकियों की आवाज़ को महत्व देते हैं जिन्होंने अपने 'आशा और बदलाव' वाले उम्मीदवार से उम्मीद खो दी थी, तो यह एक ऐसा वृत्तचित्र है जिसे आप मिस नहीं करना चाहेंगे।

If you care about the 2012 election and value the voices of regular Americans who lost hope in their hope and change candidate, this is one documentary you won't want to miss.

लोकप्रिय संस्कृति लोगों की सोच को बदलने में बहुत बड़ी भूमिका निभाती है। आप अलग-अलग समुदायों की आपस में तुलना नहीं कर सकते, लेकिन मेरे जीवनकाल में समलैंगिक (गे और लेस्बियन) समुदाय समाज की मुख्यधारा का हिस्सा बन चुका है। मैं यह कहना चाहूंगा कि ऐसा आंशिक रूप से इसलिए हुआ क्योंकि जब लोगों ने टीवी पर उस समुदाय को देखा, तो वे अधिक सहज महसूस करने लगे।

Popular culture does a lot to shape attitudes. You can't compare different communities to each other, but in my lifetime the gay and lesbian community has become much more mainstream in society. I would venture to say it's in part because people began to feel more comfortable when they saw that group on TV.

जब प्रिंटिंग प्रेस का आविष्कार हुआ था, तो इसके पीछे यही प्रेरणा थी कि बाइबल हर तक इंसान पहुँच सके। आज, वे लोग जो अपनी आस्था को बाँटने का जज़्बा रखते हैं और परिवारों को बेहतरीन मनोरंजन देना चाहते हैं, हमारे दौर के सबसे ताकतवर माध्यम—इंटरएक्टिव वीडियो गेम—में काम कर रहे हैं।

When the printing press was invented, it was inspired by the desire to make the Bible accessible to everyone. Today, people of passion who want to share their faith and provide quality entertainment for families are working in one of the most powerful media of our time--the interactive video game.

प्रोड्यूसर्स चाहते हैं कि मैं ऐसी पूरी दुनिया की रूपरेखा तैयार करूँ जहाँ लोग मुक़ाबला कर सकें, गेम शो खेल सकें, कोई पुरस्कार जीत सकें, वगैरह-वगैरह।

Producers are looking to me to concept full worlds for subjects to compete, play a game show in, win an award, blah blah blah.

ऐसे कई शो हैं जो रहस्य बनाए रखते हैं और लोगों को उलझाए रखते हैं, और हर हफ्ते दर्शकों को वापस खींचने के लिए कहानी के रहस्यों का इस्तेमाल करते हैं। मुझे नहीं पता कि उन कार्यक्रमों के पास कोई जवाब भी होता है या नहीं। मुझे नहीं पता कि वे अपने शो कैसे बनाते हैं।

There are a lot of shows that have secrets and string people along and use the secrets of the narrative engine to keep people coming back every week. I don't know if those programs even have an answer. I don't know how they build their shows.

कान्ये वेस्ट ने वाकई में ऐसा कुछ खास नहीं किया है - सिवाय शायद संगीत के मामले में, जिसे मैंने सुना नहीं है। लेकिन उन्होंने कोई सरकार का तख्तापलट नहीं कर दिया है।

[इंटरनेट का] खेल की दुनिया पर पहले ही बहुत बड़ा प्रभाव पड़ चुका है, और जो खेल कमेंटेटर इस पर ध्यान नहीं दे रहे हैं, वे पीछे छूट रहे हैं। वे किसी मैच की असली नब्ज को समझने से चूक रहे हैं जिसकी वे कवरेज कर रहे हैं। ब्लॉग और पॉडकास्ट को लेकर मेरा कहना यह है कि ये आपकी तैयारी का एकमात्र आधार नहीं हो सकते, तैयारी उससे कहीं अधिक व्यापक होनी चाहिए। हम यह समझते हैं। लेकिन, यह आपके काम का कम से कम एक हिस्सा तो होना ही चाहिए। अगर आप इस पर ध्यान नहीं दे रहे हैं, तो आप पूरी तस्वीर नहीं देख पा रहे हैं।

[The internet has] already had a huge impact in the sports world, and the play-by-play guys that are not paying attention to it are losing out. They're losing out on getting the real pulse of a game that they're covering. My point with blogs and with podcasts is that it can't be the basis of your prep work, there has to be much more. We understand that. But, it has to be at least a part of what you're doing. If you're not paying attention to it, then you're not seeing the full picture.

हॉलीवुड में बहुत ज़्यादा शोर मचाने की गज़ब की क्षमता होती है।

डॉक्यूमेंट्री बनाते वक्त हमेशा यह सवाल रहता है कि क्या इंटरव्यू वाले हिस्से असरदार साबित होंगे।

There's always the question when you're making a documentary if the talking heads will work.

उत्तर कोरिया और वहाँ के भगोड़ों के मानवाधिकारों के मुद्दों पर ध्यान देना हमारे लिए स्वाभाविक है, लेकिन मैं चाहूँगा कि लोग इन्हें सनसनीखेज बनाकर सितारे न बनाएँ। असलियत हॉलीवुड की फिल्मों से बहुत अलग होती है।

It is natural for us to pay attention to North Korea and human rights issues of North Korean defectors but I wish people would not try to create stars. The reality is different from Hollywood movies.

एक उदारवादी जनता को बतौर दर्शक पाना वाकई दिलचस्प होता है। ठीक इसी वजह से बड़े-बड़े घराने सांस्कृतिक संस्थाओं के साथ जुड़ने के लिए इतनी कोशिशें करते हैं।

पिछले एक-दो सालों के अमेरिकी विज्ञापनों में, पता नहीं क्यों, सभी गायक ऐसे गाते हैं जैसे रो रहे हों और संगीत भी बहुत उदास होता है। ऐसा लगता है, जैसे मैं इन विज्ञापनों को सुनता हूँ तो मुझे उदासी महसूस होती है, समझे? जैसे - उदाहरण के लिए, मेरी जौ की चाय (बार्ली टी) खत्म हो गई है। अब, ऐसा संगीत भी है जो आपको यह महसूस कराता है कि जब आपकी चाय खत्म हो जाए, तो आप बस वहीं बैठ जाएं और कहें, "मेरी चाय खत्म हो गई। ओह यार।" और ऐसे ही सुस्त पड़ जाएं। इसलिए हम ऐसा संगीत बनाना चाहते थे कि जब आपकी चाय खत्म हो जाए, तो आप इसके बजाय यह कहें, "मैं जा रहा हूँ थोड़ी और चाय लाने!" समझे? यह आपको ऊर्जा देता है।

In American commercials in the past year or two, I don't know, the singers all sound like they're whining and the music's all melancholy. It's sort of like, I hear these commercials and it makes me feel sad, you know? Like - for instance, my barley tea is gone. Now, there's music out there that encourages you, when your barley tea has run out, to just sort of sit there and be like "My tea ran out. Oh, man." And just be slouching. So we wanted to make music that when your tea runs out, instead you're like, "I'm gonna go get some more tea!" You know? It just gives you the energy.
