Opportunity Quotes

व्यापार और फिल्मों में महिलाओं के लिए फंडिंग पाना आज भी हर तरफ से मुश्किल भरा है। महिला 'यूनिकॉर्न' (सफल महिला उद्यमियों) का एक बहुत छोटा समूह ही ऐसा है जिसके पास फिल्मों के जरिए अपनी बात कहने की ताकत है। हमें डटकर मुकाबला करने की हिम्मत दिखानी होगी... यह सारी कोशिश बहादुरी का ही काम है।

It is still harder all around for women to get funding in business and film. There are only a very small group of female unicorns who have the power to tell stories on film. We need to have the courage to push back... all the effort is the work of bravery.

मुझे उन लोगों को आवाज़ देने का मौका मिला है जिनकी कोई आवाज़ नहीं है। हालाँकि फिल्म निर्माण मेरी बकेट लिस्ट (जीवन की इच्छाओं की सूची) में कभी नहीं था, लेकिन जिस चीज़ के प्रति मेरा हमेशा से गहरा लगाव रहा है, वह है समाज में बदलाव लाना और उसका जीवन सुधारना—खास तौर पर उन विषयों पर खुलकर बातचीत शुरू करना जो पहले वर्जित माने जाते थे।

I have an opportunity to give a voice to those who have no voice. Even though film production wasn't a bucket list item for my life, what I have been passionate about is creating change and impacting society - especially bringing conversations forward on formerly taboo subjects.

हर दिन आप यह चुनाव करते हैं कि या तो अपने बीज बोएँगे या उन्हें खा जाएंगे। जब आप विश्वास का अभ्यास करके बीज बोते हैं, तो आप ईश्वर के समृद्धि के नियम को सक्रिय करते हैं। जब आप अपने डर के आगे झुककर बीज खा जाते हैं या छुपा लेते हैं, तो आप ईश्वर के दरिद्रता के नियम को बुलावा देते हैं।

Every day you make a choice either to sow some of your seed or to eat it. When you exercise faith and sow, you release God's law of prosperity. When you give in to your fear and eat your seed, or hide it, you release God's law of poverty.

खैर, मुझे लगता है कि जब मैंने शुरुआत की थी, तो एक दौर ऐसा था जब 'महिलाओं की फिल्म' नाम की कोई चीज़ हुआ करती थी और कुछ खास तरह की स्क्रिप्ट हुआ करती थीं जो महिलाएँ ही बनाती थीं। लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि अब इसमें बहुत बदलाव आ चुका है। मुझे लगता है कि अगर कोई महिला निर्देशक हाथ में स्क्रिप्ट लेकर किसी कमरे में जाती है, तो इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि विषय क्या है या शैली क्या है, बशर्ते वित्तपोषकों को यह लगे कि उस महिला में फिल्म बनाने का हुनर है।

Well, I think there was a time when I first started that there was such a thing called 'a woman's film' and there were certain scripts that women would make. But I think that's changed a lot now. I think that if a woman director walks into a room with a script, it doesn't really matter what the subject matter is, or the genre is, so long as the financiers feel that the woman has the skills to make the film.

एपिक रिकॉर्ड्स औरजाइव (जो अब आरसीए है) के बीच मुझे साइन करने के लिए होड़ लग गई थी, जो कि एक खट्टा-मीठा अनुभव था। रिकॉर्ड लेबल का मेरे लिए आपस में बोली लगाना वाकई बहुत शानदार था, लेकिन आखिर में मैंने जाइव के साथ जाने का फैसला किया क्योंकि मुझे वहाँ का माहौल ज़्यादा बेहतर लगा, और वहाँ मेरे पसंदीदा कलाकार जैसे अशर, क्रिस ब्राउन और जस्टिन टिंबरलेक से जुड़े लोग हैं।

There was a bidding war between Epic Records and Jive - now RCA - which was bittersweet. Just having labels bid over me was really cool, but I ended up going with Jive because it felt better over there, and they have my favorite artists like Usher, Chris Brown, and Justin Timberlake.

यह मुश्किल जरूर है, लेकिन आज भी हम ओक्लाहोमा में तेल की खोज कर रहे हैं। नई कंपनियों के लिए मानक ऊंचे कर दिए गए हैं, लेकिन यह काम अभी भी किया जा सकता है। हर नियम और हर पाबंदी आपको सीमित करती है, लेकिन हाँ, यह काम फिर भी संभव है। एक स्वतंत्र देश में रहने और कोई विचार आते ही उद्यमी बन जाने की यही खूबसूरती है।

It's harder, but we're still finding oil in Oklahoma today. The bar has been raised on startup companies, but it can still be done. Every regulation and every rule limits you, but, yes, it can still be done. That's the beauty of living in a free country and having the freedom to have an idea and become an entrepreneur.

'गार्गोयल्स' के मामले में, मैं पीछे नहीं हटना चाहता था। मुझे यह आइडिया बहुत पसंद था, मैं इसे लेकर बहुत जुनूनी था और इसलिए मैं अपने बॉस के पास गया और कहा, "साथियों, मैं इस शो को प्रोड्यूस करना चाहता हूँ।" उनकी शुरुआती प्रतिक्रिया को थोड़ा संशयपूर्ण ही कहा जाए, लेकिन उन्होंने मुझे एक मौका दे दिया और उसके बाद का इतिहास तो सब जानते ही हैं। मैं डेस्क के इस तरफ से उठकर उस तरफ आ गया और एक फुल-टाइम लेखक बन गया, जो कि हमेशा से मेरा लक्ष्य था, लेकिन इस मुकाम तक पहुँचने का मेरा रास्ता थोड़ा अलग और घुमावदार रहा।

With Gargoyles, I didn't want to walk away. I liked the idea too much, I was too passionate about it and so I went to my bosses and said, "Guys, I want to produce this show." Their initial response, lets call it dubious, but they let me give it a shot and sort of the rest is history. I moved from one side of the desk to the other side of the desk, and became a full time writer which had always been the goal, but I came about getting the actual work in a sort of roundabout way.

ज्यादातर स्टार्टअप सिर्फ उस इंसान के लिए नहीं बनाए जाते जो उनका इस्तेमाल कर रहा होता है। जब आप ऐसा करते हैं, तो कभी-कभार आपकी किस्मत सचमुच चमक जाती है और... आप लोगों के एक ऐसे बहुत बड़े वर्ग का प्रतिनिधित्व करने लगते हैं जो वही सब चाहते हैं जो आप चाहते हैं... लेकिन अक्सर यह सिर्फ एक साइड प्रोजेक्ट बनकर रह जाता है जो आगे कहीं नहीं पहुँच पाता।

Most startups are not just built for the person who is using them. When you do that, every now and then you get really lucky and... are representative of some huge class of people who all want the same thing you do... but very often that just turns into a side project that doesn't go anywhere.

आज के दौर में कॉमेडी की सबसे अच्छी बात यह है कि अगर आपके पास थोड़ा सा भी हुनर, कड़ी मेहनत करने की लगन और अच्छे सामाजिक कौशल हैं, तो आप अपना नाम भी बना सकते हैं और पैसे भी कमा सकते हैं।

आज टेलीविजन पर इतना बेहतरीन काम हो रहा है, और वहाँ कई ऐसी चीज़ें दिखाई जा रही हैं जो पहले या तो कोई फिल्म बनतीं या फिर अगर केबल और स्ट्रीमिंग न होतीं तो शायद कभी बनती ही नहीं। यह भविष्य का एक बेहद रोमांचक हिस्सा है और मैं वाकई इसका हिस्सा बनना चाहती हूँ।

There's so much good television now, and there's a lot of things on television that would have been a movie or maybe wouldn't have been made at all if it wasn't for cable and streaming. It's a really exciting part of the future and I really want to be a part of it.

मुझे कभी एजेंट मिलने में कोई परेशानी नहीं हुई। मैंने बाहर जाकर अपने शुरुआती कुछ रोल हासिल किए और सचमुच छह महीने के भीतर मुझे एक्टिंग के अलावा कभी कोई और नौकरी करने की जरूरत ही नहीं पड़ी।

जब मैंने मूल रूप से 'निकोलस निकलबी' बनाया था, तो वह नए चैनल 4, यूरोप के पॉलीग्राम और अमरीका की मोबिल ऑयल के बीच एक सह-प्रॉडक्शन (को-प्रॉडक्शन) था। मैं सालों से अटलांटिक के दोनों तरफ़ सह-प्रॉडक्शन के काम से जुड़ा रहा हूँ और 'प्लेग्राउंड' के कामकाज के केंद्र में यही बात है। ऐसे प्रोजेक्ट्स तलाशना जिनका सह-प्रॉडक्शन हो सके और जिनमें अटलांटिक के दोनों किनारों की बेहतरीन प्रतिभाओं को शामिल किया जा सके—प्लेग्राउंड के काम का यही सबसे अहम हिस्सा है।

When I did Nicholas Nickelby originally, that was a co-production between the new Channel 4, Polygram in Europe and Mobil Oil in America, and I have been involved in working on co-productions for years on both sides of the Atlantic and that's very much at the core of what Playground is doing. So marrying, finding projects that can be co-produced and can be produced using the very best talent from both sides of the Atlantic that's absolutely right at the center of what Playground is doing.

इस समय मेरा पूरा ध्यान इस बात पर है कि हम स्टेज पर हर रात उस रिकॉर्ड को बेहतरीन तरीके से पेश करें, और मैं जो भी इंटरव्यू या रेडियो शो करूँ, वह इस रिकॉर्ड के ज़रिए हम जो कहना चाहते हैं उसे सबसे अच्छे तरीके से बयां करे। जब सही समय आएगा तो अगला दरवाज़ा भी खुल जाएगा, और उम्मीद है कि वह मुझे सही दिशा में ले जाएगा।

All I can focus on right now is playing that record as best we can each night on stage, and that every article or radio spot that I do gives the best depiction of what we're trying to say with this record. The next door will open when it's time to open, and hopefully I'll be lead into the right one.

नियम यह होता है: इस हफ्ते आपने यूरोप में 100 लोगों के सामने परफॉर्म किया, और फिर अगले हफ्ते आप 200 लोगों के सामने कर सकते हैं। यह उस बाजार में एक निवेश (इन्वेस्टमेंट) है। लेकिन इसमें नुकसान भी हो सकता है क्योंकि यूरोप जाना बहुत महंगा होता है। आप बस यह नहीं कह सकते कि, "अरे, कल हम अपनी वैन उठाएंगे और कैलिफोर्निया ड्राइव करके चले जाएंगे।" बल्कि स्थिति यह होती है, "अरे, हमें लंदन के लिए फ्लाइट लेनी होगी, तीन गिटार एम्पलीफायर, एक बास एम्पलीफायर, ड्रम किराए पर लेने होंगे; चार लोगों के लिए ये सारे टिकट खरीदने होंगे; एक ड्राइवर हायर करना होगा।"

The idea is: You played to 100 people this week in Europe, and then next week you can play to 200. It's an investment in that territory. But it can lose money because it's very expensive to go to Europe. You can't really just say, like, "Oh, we're gonna take our van and drive to California tomorrow." It's more like, "Oh, we have to fly to London and rent three guitar amps, a bass amp, drums; buy all these flights for four people; hire a driver."
