मैंने स्वाभाविक रूप से एक तकनीक विकसित की थी जिससे मैं एक चुटकुले से दूसरे पर आसानी से जा सकूँ: मैं पिछले चुटकुले में ही अगले चुटकुले का कोई शब्द या वाक्यांश इस्तेमाल कर लेता था।

A technique I developed quite naturally to help me make smooth transitions was to use a word or phrase from the next routine in the preceding one.

थिएटर के लिए लिखना बिल्कुल अलग खेल है। अब संगीत पर बहुत सारी जिम्मेदारियों का बोझ होता है। कथानक आपको किरदार के अलग-अलग पहलू दिखा सकता है; किसी पल की भावनात्मक गहराई को उजागर कर सकता है।

Writing for the theater is a whole different can of fish. The music now has the responsibility of so many things. The plot could be giving you different views of the character; the emotional highlights of a moment.

मुझे किरदारों को देखना पसंद है। उन्हें देखकर ही मेरे मन में कोई न कोई आवाज़ या अंदाज़ उभर आता है। मैं दृश्यों को समझने में ज्यादा बेहतर हूँ, और यह तरीका किसी के द्वारा मुझे यह बताने से कहीं ज्यादा असरदार है कि किरदार कैसा है।

I like looking at the characters. Seeing them always brings up some voice or attitude. I am much more visual, and that works so much better than having someone tell me what the character is all about.

मेरे साथ ऐसा कई बार हुआ है कि मुझे निर्देशन के लिए स्क्रिप्ट भेजी गई, लेकिन अंत में मैं बहुत ज्यादा दखल देने लगता हूँ और उसे अपनी सोच के हिसाब से बदलने की कोशिश करता हूँ, जो कि अक्सर कारगर नहीं होता।

कहने का मतलब यह है कि एली [वीiesel] सार्वजनिक रूप से जो करते हैं, वह ग्रंथ की प्रेरणा और उसकी व्याख्या की समृद्धि है; और इतिहास में उनकी रुचि उनका अपना निजी मामला है। वह अच्छी तरह जानते हैं कि फ्रैंक [मूर क्रॉस] की तरह ग्रंथों की चीर-फाड़ करने में वे कोई विशेषज्ञ नहीं हैं।

That is to say, the inspiration, the interpretive richness of the text is what Elie [Wiesel] does publicly, and his interest in history is his private reserve; he knows that he is not an expert in dissecting the text the way Frank [Moore Cross] does.

मुझे पक्का नहीं पता कि अभिनय से मिलने वाली रचनात्मक संतुष्टि हमेशा बनी रहेगी या नहीं। अगर आपको अच्छे रोल मिल जाएं, तो यह बहुत बढ़िया है—बशर्ते आपके पास अपने प्रोजेक्ट खुद चुनने की आज़ादी हो, न कि आप बस हर कुछ करने को मजबूर हों। लेकिन मैं कलात्मक रूप से किसी प्रोजेक्ट से शुरू से अंत तक जुड़ना चाहूँगा, जो मुझे लगता है कि आप केवल एक लेखक या निर्देशक के रूप में ही कर सकते हैं।

I'm not sure I'll find acting satisfying creatively forever. If you get the good roles, it's great - if you have the freedom to choose your projects and not just do anything and everything. But I'd love to artistically commit to a project from beginning to end, which I think you can only do as a writer or director.

यह कुछ ऐसा है जैसे किताब में ऐसे कई चमकते हुए सितारे या मुख्य बिंदु होते हैं जिन्हें आप पकड़कर चलते हैं और जो चीख-चीख कर कहते हैं, 'यही है द गर्ल ऑन द ट्रेन का असली अनुभव।' उन सभी मुख्य बिंदुओं या हुक्स को फिल्म में रखना लाजिमी था, भले ही उनका रूप थोड़ा अलग क्यों न हो। इतनी मशहूर किताब को पर्दे पर उतारते समय यह बहुत ज़रूरी है कि आप उन सभी मुख्य बातों को छूएँ लेकिन किताब से बिना छेड़छाड़ किए दर्शकों की उम्मीदों से परे कुछ नया पेश करें। और मेरे लिए, इस किताब को ढालने का असली मज़ा यही था।

It's one of those things where the book has all these stars that burn really bright that you hang onto and they're all saying, 'This is The Girl on the Train experience.' All those stars or hooks needed to be in the film, but sometimes they needed to be a bit different. It's important when adapting such a popular book to hit all those points but also break out expectations without slaughtering the book. And that was, for me, the joy of adapting the book.

मैं फिल्म में महिलाओं के अनुभवों की जटिलता को वैसे ही बनाए रखना चाहती थी जैसी कि किताब में है, और माँ न बनने की इच्छा एक बेहद दिलचस्प विषय है—एक ऐसा मुद्दा जिस पर असल में ज़्यादा बात नहीं की जाती। हालाँकि, वह जटिलता [द गर्ल ऑन द ट्रेन] फिल्म की कहानी के साथ न्याय नहीं कर पा रही थी।

I wanted to keep the complexity of the female experience in the film as much as it is in the book, and the subject of not wanting a child is a very interesting subject, one that's not dealt with very much actually.However that complexity was not serving the story of what became the film [The Girl on the Train].

कहानी या नैरेटिव यौन तनाव (sexual tension) को पैदा करने के लिए बहुत जरूरी है। क्या आप किसी ऐसी हॉरर फिल्म की कल्पना कर सकते हैं जिसमें बिना किसी संदर्भ के सिर्फ खून-खराबा दिखाया जाए? मुझे लगता है कि महिलाओं के लिए कपड़े उतारने से पहले किरदारों को समझना जरूरी है।

Narrative is so important for building the sexual tension. Can you imagine a horror movie that only shows the blood, with no context? I think women need to get to know the characters before they start stripping.

अधिकांश विजुअल आर्टिस्ट (दृश्य कलाकार), अधिकांश लेखकों की तरह, अकेले रहना पसंद करते हैं। कम से कम तब तो बिल्कुल जब वे कला का सृजन कर रहे होते हैं। हो सकता है कि उस सुबह उन्होंने कोई जंगली पार्टी की हो, लेकिन एक निश्चित समय पर वे सबको बाहर का रास्ता दिखा देते हैं और कहते हैं: "चलो, अब घर जाओ। हाँ, मुझे भी बहुत मजा आया।" और फिर आप दोबारा अकेले होते हैं, और फिर आप नए सिरे से प्रेरित और ऊर्जावान महसूस करते हैं।

Most visual artists, just like most writers, tend to be solitary. While they're doing the art, that is. They may have a crazy orgy that morning, but at a certain point they kick everybody out, and say: "Come, go home. Yeah, I had a great time too." And then you're alone again, and then you're freshly inspired and energized.

एज्रा पाउंड द्वारा चीनी कविताओं के अनुवादों को ही देख लीजिए। वे चीनी भाषा ठीक से नहीं जानते थे, और इसके जो अजीबोगरीब नतीजे सामने आए वे पूरी तरह सफल भले न हों, लेकिन कुल मिलाकर यह प्रयोग बेहद कामयाब रहा। इसने हमें जानी-पहचानी शैलियों से बाहर निकालकर सोचने और खुद को व्यक्त करने के नए रास्ते सुझाए।

Take Ezra Pound's translations of poetry from Chinese. He doesn't really know Chinese, and the very strange results that he comes up with aren't all successful, but as a whole it's incredibly successful, moving us away from familiar forms and indicating other forms we might think in or express in.

लांदै की एक बड़ी खूबी यह है कि वे आधुनिक दौर में भी पूरी तरह प्रासंगिक बनी हुई हैं। शुरुआत में, मैं अफ़गानिस्तान के एक जाने-माने और सबसे ज़्यादा बिकने वाले उपन्यासकार मुस्तफ़ा सादिक़ से मिली, जो बीबीसी पश्तो के लिए भी काम करते हैं। कविताओं की पवित्रता को ध्यान में रखते हुए मैंने उनसे पूछा, "क्या आपको चिंता नहीं होती? इन्हें अब फेसबुक और दूसरी जगहों पर शेयर किया जा रहा है।" इस पर उन्होंने कहा, "बिल्कुल इसके उलट। यह एक लोक-विधा है; जब लोग इन्हें आपस में बाँटते हैं, तभी ये ज़िंदा रहती हैं और फलती-फूलती हैं।"

Being a lover of photography, I especially like the idea that you could include lots of pictures - full-color pictures - with your writing. That to me is exciting! We'll all have to stay tuned to see what develops.
