पेंटिंग एक तरह का सवाल-जवाब है। पेंटिंग करते समय इंसान सुन रहा होता है, अपने अंदर की एक ऐसी आवाज़ पर ध्यान दे रहा होता है जो जानी-पहचानी भी लगती है और अजनबी भी।

Painting is a kind of call and response. During the act of painting one is listening, paying attention to a self, a voice simultaneously recognizable and foreign.

कॉमेडी एक ऐसी कला है जिसे मैंने अपनी बात कहने के अंदाज़ को बेहतर बनाने की कोशिश करते हुए अपनाया। मैं सिर्फ़ अपनी कविता दिखाने के लिए यूट्यूब पर आया था, और फिर लोगों को लगा कि मैं मज़ाकिया हूँ, तो मैंने उसी राह पर चलना शुरू कर दिया।

Comedy was something I picked up trying to perfect my art through spoken word. I got on YouTube just to show off my poetry, and then people thought I was funny, so I ran with it.

मैं हमेशा पर्पल ड्रिंक यानी कफ सिरप पिया करता था। मैं बस एक कमरे में बैठा रहता, गानों को रीमिक्स और स्लो-डाउन करता रहता था। यह मेरे दूसरे रूप यानी 'ऑल्टर इगो' जैसा था—नशा करने के बाद मैं बिल्कुल बदल जाता था। मेरा संगीत और ज्यादा गहरा और अजीब हो जाता था, जिससे बहुत से लोगों को प्रेरणा मिली। लेकिन अब मैंने अपनी जिंदगी बदल ली है और स्मोकिंग छोड़ दी है। मौका मिलने पर मैं अब भी पार्टी करना और मज़ा करना पसंद करता हूँ, लेकिन अब किसी भी चीज़ की अति नहीं करता।

I would always drink purple drink - syrup. I would just be in a room, screwing and chopping up music. It was like an alter ego - I would turn into another person when I was on a substance. My music would get darker and weirder, and it inspired a lot of people. But I've changed my life and stopped smoking. I like to turn up and have fun when I get the chance, but I don't overdo it now.

हैरियट बीचर स्टोव को लगता था कि 'अंकल टॉम्स केबिन' उपन्यास उनके द्वारा नहीं, बल्कि किसी 'अदृश्य हाथ' द्वारा लिखा गया है, क्योंकि उपन्यास में आगे क्या होने वाला है, इस बारे में उन्हें खुद पल-पल कुछ पता नहीं होता था। वह खुद हैरान थीं कि वह क्या लिख रही थीं।

मुझे दूसरों के लोगों के साथ सहयोग करने से इतनी ऊर्जा मिलती है और मैं बहुत कुछ सीखती हूँ। आखिरकार, मुझे लगता है कि सबसे अच्छा हमेशा सहयोग के माध्यम से बनाया जाएगा—किसी भी व्यक्ति की तुलना में कुछ बड़ा बनाने के लिए कौशल को एक साथ मिलाना। मैं विचारों को उनके सबसे चरम, अस협 (बिना समझौते वाले) रूप में प्रस्तुत करने के लिए अपनी खुद की सोफिया सामग्री का उपयोग करना पसंद करती हूँ। मैं वास्तव में उन अवसरों का उपयोग यह व्यक्त करने के लिए करती हूँ कि उत्पादन और लेखन के विचारों के मामले में मैं वास्तव में कहाँ हूँ, साथ ही अपने विचारों और भावनाओं के दस्तावेज़ के रूप में भी।

I get so much energy and I learn so much through collaborating with other people. Ultimately, I think the best music will always be created through collaborations - pooling together skills to create something bigger than any individual. I like to use my own SOPHIE material to present ideas in their most extreme, un-compromised form. I really use those opportunities to express exactly where I'm at in terms of production and writing ideas, as a document of my thoughts and feelings, as well.

अतीत में, मैंने अपने गाने लिखे हैं और फिर दोस्तों से पूछा है कि क्या वे वोकल्स रिकॉर्ड कर सकते हैं। मैं अपनी खुद की आवाज का उपयोग नहीं करना चाहती थी, क्योंकि दूसरे लोगों की आवाजें बहुत बेहतर हैं। मैं संगीत को एक ऐसी आवाज के साथ सुन रही थी जो मेरे पास नहीं है। यह अपनी मनचाਹੀ ध्वनि प्राप्त करने के लिए मेरे पास जो भी संसाधन थे, उनका उपयोग करने का मामला था, लेकिन इससे लेखत्व (ऑथरशिप) कम नहीं हो जाता। वे मेरे द्वारा लिखे गए गाने हैं जो वैसे ही लगते हैं जैसे मैं उन्हें सुनना चाहती हूँ। यह मेरी आवाज़ है या किसी और की, इससे संगीत में कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता।

In the past, I've written my songs and then asked friends if they could record the vocals. I didn't want to use my own voice, because other people have much better voices. I was hearing the music with a voice that I don't have. It was a case of pulling whatever resources I had to get the sound I wanted, but that doesn't take anything away from the authorship. They are songs written by me that sound the way I want them to sound. Whether it's my voice or someone else's doesn't make a difference to the music.

यह लोगों के लिए भ्रमित करने वाला हो सकता है, लेकिन मेरे लिए यह बहुत सरल है, और यह हमेशा से रहा है—अपनी पसंद की चीज़ का निर्माण करना। संगीत में, मुझे नहीं लगता कि सर्वगुण संपन्न होने और सब कुछ खुद करने की कोई आवश्यकता है। अपनी ताकत के अनुसार खेलें और वही करें जो आप महसूस करते हैं। या फिर सामग्री खुद जिसकी मांग करे, वही करें।

It could be confusing to people, but it's very simple to me, and it always has been - creating the thing that I want. In music, I don't think there's any need to be an all-rounder and do everything yourself. Play to your strengths and do what you feel. Or do whatever the material itself demands.

यह करियर मूल रूप से मेरे पीछे तब पड़ गया जब मैं न्यूयॉर्क के स्पोकन-वर्ड (कविता पाठ) मंचों से जुड़ी थी। मैं बार-बार सुनती थी कि मेरी कविता पढ़ने का अंदाज़ — जो उस समय बहुत निजी और मन का बोझ हल्का करने वाला था — लोगों को बहुत छू जाता था। मेरे बोलने के अंदाज़ को देखकर लोगों को लगा कि मैं कोई अभिनेत्री हूँ, जबकि मैं तो बस अपने काम में डूबी हुई थी और सचमुच अपनी आत्मा उड़ेल रही थी।

This career essentially chased me down while I was on the spoken-word scene in New York. I kept hearing that my delivery of my poetry - which was very personal and cathartic at the time- was very moving to folks. People thought that I was an actress because of my delivery, when I was just dropping into the work and really pouring out my soul.

मेरे मन में यह एक आदर्शवादी और शायद थोड़ा भोलापन भरा विचार है कि लगभग कोई भी गाना कुछ भी बन सकता है। यदि आप आज एक गाना रिकॉर्ड करते हैं, तो यह शायद रोमांचक और कूल होगा। लेकिन मैं अगले हफ्ता वही गाना रिकॉर्ड कर सकता हूँ और वह कुछ बिल्कुल अलग ही बन जाएगा।

I have this idealistic and maybe naive thought that almost any song can be anything. If you record one song today, it would maybe be exciting and cool. But I could record the same song next week and it would be something completely different.

नृत्य सबसे पहले इस आदिम स्तर पर मौजूद होता है, किसी बौद्धिक तल पर नहीं (भले ही इसके लिए कौशल और बुद्धिमत्ता की आवश्यकता होती है)। इसके अंतरतम सार को तर्कों से नहीं, बल्कि केवल अनुभव से समझा जा सकता है।

Dance exists first on this primordial level, not on an intellectual plane (even though it requires skill and intelligence). Its inmost substance cannot be reasoned, only experienced.
