दुनिया का कोई भी खिलाड़ी चुन लीजिए और उसे भारत का कप्तान बना दीजिए। मैं आपको यकीन दिलाता हूँ कि नतीजे फिर भी वही रहेंगे। एमएस धोनी के पास बस वैसी किस्मत नहीं थी कि उन्हें ऑस्ट्रेलिया, दक्षिण अफ्रीका और न्यूजीलैंड जैसी शीर्ष टीमों की तरह बेहतरीन गेंदबाज मिल सकें।

Pick any player of the world. Make him the captain of India. I can assure you that the results will still be the same. MS Dhoni just not lucky enough to have the kind of bowlers that top teams like Australia, South Africa and New Zealand have.

क्या होता अगर डे्रिक रोज़ या ग्रेग ओडन को कॉलेज में ही घुटने की चोट लग जाती? इससे उन्हें लाखों डॉलर का नुकसान हो जाता। वे भाग्यशाली थे कि वे जल्दी बाहर आ गए। मैं यह नहीं कह रहा हूँ कि कॉलेज मत जाओ। शैक [ओ'नील] जैसे कई खिलाड़ी हैं जो वापस गए और अपनी डिग्री पूरी की। मैं इसकी सराहना करता हूँ। लेकिन यह सब अपनी सुविधा के अनुसार करें—अपने वित्त (पैसे) को दांव पर न लगाएं।

What would have happened if Derrick Rose had torn his knee in college, or Greg Oden? It would have cost them millions of dollars. They were lucky, coming out early. I'm not saying don't go to college. There are plenty of players like Shaq [O'Neal] who went back and graduated. I commend that. But do it at your leisure - don't hurt your finances.

आज के समय में हर किसी के पास कुछ न कुछ है। बाज़ार ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा भरा पड़ा है, और यह छाँटना मुश्किल हो गया है कि क्या अच्छा है, आपको क्या देखना चाहिए और आपके पास देखने के लिए समय है या नहीं। उस समय ट्विटर पर इतनी भीड़ नहीं थी, और लोगों तक पहुँचना आसान था। तो, एक बढ़िया वीडियो होना, ट्विटर के ज़रिए ज़्यादा लोगों तक पहुँच होना और किकस्टार्टर का नया चलन—इन सबका मेल बैठ गया। हमने इसकी शुरुआत में ही इसका फायदा उठाया और किकस्टार्टर के कॉन्सेप्ट के दम पर लोगों की इसमें दिलचस्पी जगाई। उस वक्त समय बिल्कुल सही था।

Everybody has something now. It's become very over-saturated, and it's hard to weed out what's good, what you should watch and what you have time to watch. And Twitter was much less crowded, at the time, and it was an easier way to reach people. So, the combination of having a great video, a lot more access to people through Twitter, and having Kickstarter be this new thing in. We tapped into it, at its inception, and got people interested in it just based on the concept of what Kickstarter was. The timing was right.

मुझे लगता है कि आने वाले समय में इसका एक बहुत बड़ा बाज़ार बनेगा और दुनिया भर की ज्वेलरी नीलामियों में हमें हिप-हॉप ज्वेलरी नियमित रूप से देखने को मिलेगी। इसलिए, जो लोग इस गाड़ी में शुरुआत में ही सवार हो जाएंगे, वे लंबे समय में आर्थिक रूप से जरूर फायदा उठाएंगे।

I think there is going to be a whole market and we'll start to see hip-hop jewelry regularly in jewelry auctions around the world. Therefore, anybody who gets on the train early can only do well financially in the long run.

बाल्टीमोर में नौकरियाँ मौजूद हैं, लेकिन समस्या यह है कि हमारे पास कुशल लोग नहीं हैं। जैसे पोर्ट कोविंगटन की पहल—वह 20 साल आगे की बात है। मेयर के रूप में मैंने ऐसी पहलें शुरू की थीं जिनमें अल्पसंख्यकों के लिए हिस्सेदारी, उनके अवसरों को बढ़ाने और प्रशिक्षण की बात थी। यह दोहराए जाने लायक एक बेहतरीन मॉडल है। हर कोई कॉलेज नहीं जाना चाहता। हमारे कई व्यावसायिक (वोकेशनल) कार्यक्रमों में नवीनतम तकनीक उपलब्ध नहीं है। छात्रों को हाई स्कूल के freshman (पहले) वर्ष से ही स्नातक की योजना पर काम करना शुरू कर देना चाहिए—चाहे वह अप्रेंटिसशिप (शिक्षुता) हो या कॉलेज।

There are jobs here in Baltimore, but the problem is we don't have skilled people. Like the Port Covington initiative - that's 20 years out. I instituted initiatives as mayor that called for equities for minorities, increase minority opportunities, training. It's a good model to duplicate. Everybody doesn't want to go to college. A lot of our vocational programs don't have the latest technology. Students should begin freshman year in high school working on a plan for graduation - either going into an apprenticeship or college.

आपको बिल्कुल सच बताऊँ तो, इसके पीछे दो बड़े कारण थे: एक तो यह कि शुरू में हमारी फिल्म थैंक्सगिविंग से ठीक पहले वाले हफ्ते में रिलीज़ होने वाली थी, जिस दौरान 'Twilight 3D' और 'Happy Feet 2' दोनों रिलीज़ हो रही थीं।

To be very honest with you, there were two big factors: One was that we were initially coming out in that week before Thanksgiving where both Twilight 3D and Happy Feet 2 are coming out.

आपको पीछे बैठकर आराम करने का मौका नहीं मिलता क्योंकि यह वह समय होता है जब हम यह देखने के लिए चीज़ों में बदलाव कर रहे होते हैं कि क्या काम कर रहा है और क्या नहीं; इसलिए एकाग्रता का स्तर बहुत अधिक होता है। लेकिन इस बात से कौन खुश नहीं होगा? यह एक बेहतरीन अवसर और लेखन का एक बहुत ही शानदार नमूना है। मैं वास्तव में बहुत भाग्यशाली हूँ।

You don't get a chance to sit back and relax because this is the point where we're tweaking things to see what works and what doesn't work; so the level of concentration is very focused. But who wouldn't be happy with this? It's a great opportunity and a really great piece of writing. I'm just really very fortunate.

अभी कुछ भी पक्का नहीं है। ज़ाहिर है, जब भी कोई किताब आती है, तो उस पर ऑटोग्राफ देने और ऐसे ही तमाम कार्यक्रमों का सिलसिला होता है। हम ऐसी किताबों की दुकानों पर जाएंगे जो ऑडियो और वीडियो दोनों रखती हैं। और कुछ दुकानें चाहती हैं कि सीडी भी उसी समय उपलब्ध हों। तो वह हिस्सा काफी अच्छा लग रहा है।

There's nothing definite yet. Of course, any time you have a book, there's going to be book signings and stuff. We'll do bookstores that handle both audio and video. And some of the stores want to have the CDs available at the same time. So that part looks real good.

मुझे एक ही तरह के किरदारों में सीमित (typecast) कर दिया गया है। लोग कोई जोखिम या नया प्रयोग नहीं करना चाहते। कई बार लोग मेरे पास आए हैं और कहा है "हम चाहते हैं कि आप वह रूसी लहजा बोलें।" और मैं कहूँगा, "कैसा रहेगा अगर मैं आयरिश लहजा या दक्षिण अफ्रीकी लहजा बोलूँ," और उन्हें इस बात पर भरोसा ही नहीं होता कि मैं उन्हें सही ढंग से निभा पाऊँगा।

I've been typecast. People don't want to take a risk or a chance. Quite a few times they've come up to me and say "We want you to do that Russian accent." And I'll be like, "How about if I do an Irish accent or a South African accent," and they don't trust that you can properly pull them off.

मैंने एक बात महसूस की है कि अगर आप लोगों से लगातार संपर्क में रहें, लंबे समय तक रिश्ते निभाएं, और ऐसे लोगों में निवेश करें जो शुरुआत में असहज या बात करने से कतराते नज़र आते हैं, तो एक साल बाद यही कोशिशें कोई बहुत बड़ा परिणाम दे सकती हैं।

One thing I've discovered is that if you remain in contact with people, if you build longitudinal relationships, if you invest in sources who seem at first like they're uncomfortable or unwilling to talk, if you keep in touch with them, a year later that might yield something much more powerful.

मुकाबले से पहले हर रात सोने जाने से पहले मैं अपनी पेगी फ्लेमिंग वाली टी-शर्ट पहनती हूँ, और पिछले चार सालों से इसने मेरे लिए बेहद गुड लक साबित किया है।

I wear my Peggy Fleming T-shirt when I go to sleep every night before I compete, and for the past four years, it's brought me incredible good luck.

'द कुमार्स' शो दुनिया के पाँच महाद्वीपों में देखा गया, और जब यह विचार मेरे दिमाग में आया था, तो मुझे खुद इस बात से थोड़ी हैरानी हुई थी कि किसी और को यह ख्याल पहले क्यों नहीं आया।

The Kumars... played on five continents, and even when I came up with the idea I was slightly surprised that no one else had.
