जब मैं पिछली सदियों के किरदार निभाता हूँ, तो यह बात मुझे हमेशा हैरान करती है कि वे अपने कारनामे करते समय कितने कम उम्र के थे। यही वह बात है जिसके साथ मुझे तालमेल बिठाना पड़ता है - जब मैंने 'वॉर एंड पीस' में रूसी कैवलरी (घुड़सवार सेना) के सिपाही की भूमिका निभाई थी, तो वह महज़ अपनी किशोरावस्था में था। जब मैं कोई पीरियड ड्रामा करता हूँ, तो यही बात मेरे लिए सबसे ज्यादा सिरदर्द होती है।
I'm always struck, when I play characters from previous centuries, how young they were when they did what they did. That's what I need to get used to - when I portrayed a Russian cavalry solider in 'War & Peace,' he was in his teens. When I do a period piece, that's the hardest thing for me to get my head around.

हम जिस पूँजीवाद के दौर में जी रहे हैं, वह अब अपने अंत की ओर बढ़ रहा है
The capitalism we are in now is already coming to an end

किसी परंपरा को जीवंत बनाए रखने के लिए यह जरूरी है कि उसे ऐसी अकल्पनीय और भविष्य की संभावनाओं का स्रोत बनने दिया जाए, जिनकी हमने कभी कल्पना भी न की हो।
For tradition to be alive it has to be allowed to be a fountain of power for things undreamt of, things to come.

यहूदी एक अजीब उलझन हैं — जिन्हें परिभाषित करना मुश्किल है, जिनका वर्णन करना अटपटा है, और जिन्हें समझना नामुमकिन है। सारे गुण, सारे अवगुण, हर सुख, हर दुख — कुछ भी उनसे अछूता नहीं रहता।
Jews are a singular confusion — difficult to define, awkward to describe, impossible to understand. All the virtues, all the vices, every pleasure, every pain — nothing is spared them.

यह सुझाव कि पृथ्वी के तमाम राष्ट्रों में से यहूदियों को भगवान की चुनी हुई कौम के रूप में चुना गया है, एक तरह के सामूहिक अहंकार का संकेत देता था, खासकर तब जब इस अच्छी खबर की पहली खबर खुद यहूदियों ने ही दी थी। हालाँकि, इस चुनाव को श्रेष्ठ सदाचार के सम्मान के रूप में नहीं, बल्कि एक दिव्य चुनौती के रूप में देखा गया था।
The suggestion that Jews were selected from among all nations of the earth to be God's chosen people suggested a kind of group arrogance, especially when the good news was first reported by Jews. However, the choice was interpreted not as tribute to superior virtue but as divine challenge.

अमेरिका की आदत है कि वह हर सुबह एक नई परंपरा गढ़ता है और रात होते-होते बीते कल को मिटा देता है, और वहाँ पुरानी परंपराओं की पकड़ आज हजारों वजहों से खतरे में है।
America has a way of inventing tradition each morning and erasing the past by nightfall, and thehold of ancient custom is endangered by a thousand cicumstances.

अमेरिका में बड़े पैमाने पर हो रहे अप्रवासन को वैश्विक 'वापसी के अधिकार' के रूप में देखिए।
Think of mass immigration into America as a global 'right of return.'

जनसांख्यिकी को ही भाग्य होना ज़रूरी नहीं है। कमज़ोर पड़ता पश्चिम वह नहीं बना जो वह अविकसित दुनिया की तुलना में ज़्यादा बच्चे पैदा करके बना हो। हम कभी महान इसलिए नहीं थे कि हमारी संख्या बहुत ज़्यादा थी, बल्कि मानवीय पूंजी के कारण थे - ऐसे लोग जिनके पास श्रेष्ठ विचार और क्षमताएँ थीं, जो नवाचार, अन्वेषण, विज्ञान और दर्शन में सक्षम थे।
Demographics need not be destiny. The waning West became what it is not by out-breeding the undeveloped world. We were once great not because of huge numbers, but due to human capital - people of superior ideas and abilities, capable of innovation, exploration, science, philosophy.

फिदेल कास्त्रो की सबसे अच्छी बात यह है कि सीआईए और माफिया - ये दोनों ही घटिया संगठन हैं जिन्होंने उन्हें बार-बार मारने की कोशिश की - वे कभी कामयाब नहीं हो पाए।
Cool thing about Fidel Castro is that the CIA and the mafia - which are both terrible organizations that tried to murder him again and again - haven't succeeded.

अमरीकी लोगों का मज़ाक उड़ाना एक फैशन बन गया है, लेकिन वे दुनिया का सबसे महत्वपूर्ण और क्रांतिकारी मनोरंजन लगातार पैदा करते हैं। 'लोकप्रिय संस्कृति' भी आखिरकार संस्कृति ही है, शेक्सपियर भी कभी आम लोगों के बीच आज के किसी भी स्टार जितने ही लोकप्रिय हुआ करते थे।
It is fashionable to scoff at Americans, but they routinely produce most of the important and ground-breaking entertainment in the world. 'Popular culture' is still culture, Shakespeare was once as popular as any of today's icons with the common people.

यदि आप एक महिला के रूप में पैदा हुई हैं और वैसे ही जीती हैं, तो आप नारीवाद (फेमिनिज़्म) से अपने जुड़ाव से इनकार नहीं कर सकतीं। मुझे लगता है कि अगर आप महिला हैं, तो आप फेमिनिस्ट हैं। जहाँ तक मेरी कला का सवाल है, मैं निश्चित रूप से यह नहीं चाहती कि इसे केवल नारीवादी दृष्टिकोण से ही देखा जाए, लेकिन किसी महिला का नारीवाद में कोई रुचि न होना या यह कहना कि इससे उसका कोई लेना-देना नहीं है, खुद से ही झूठ बोलने जैसा है। मैं जानती हूँ कि विभिन्न समाजों और प्रणालियों में सेक्सिज़्म यानी लैंगिक भेदभाव आज भी मौजूद है, चाहे वह खुले तौर पर हो या दबी जुबान में। हालांकि, हम पिछली पीढ़ियों के मुकाबले बहुत बेहतर स्थिति में हैं।
If you are born a female and live as one, you can't deny your connection to feminism. I think if you are a female, you are a feminist. As far as my work goes, I don't want it to be interpreted solely from a feminist perspective, of course, but for a woman to have no interest in feminism or say that it doesn't concern her is self-denial. I know that sexism still exists within various societies and systems, whether blatantly or subtly. We are, however, much better off than previous generations.

इस्तांबुल दुनिया के सबसे अद्भुत शहरों में से एक है, और लंदन, पेरिस या न्यूयॉर्क की तरह इसे भी एक बार जरूर देखना चाहिए। यह अतीत, वर्तमान और भविष्य का संगम है, जहाँ आप कभी नहीं जान सकते कि अगले ही पल क्या हो जाएगा। यह उस क्षेत्र की इतनी सारी संस्कृतियों का मिश्रण भी है, जिन्हें अक्सर राष्ट्र-राज्य द्वारा एक रंग में रंगने की कोशिश की जाती है।
Istanbul is one of the most incredible cities in the world, and a must - see as much as London, Paris, or New York. It's the past, present, and future, and a city where you never know what will happen from one minute to the next. It's also a melting pot of so many cultures from that region which is so often homogenized by the nation-state.

पुनर्निर्माण वित्त निगम (रिकंस्ट्रक्शन फाइनेंस कॉर्प) की तर्ज पर कोई मॉडल या संस्था बनाना कोई पागलपन नहीं होगा। इसका इतिहास 1932 का है, हालांकि इसे असल में 1933 में जेसी जोन्स के नेतृत्व में लागू किया गया था, और शुरुआत में इसने ज्यादातर बैंकों, तरजीही शेयरों (प्रिफर्ड स्टॉक) और इसी तरह की चीजों में निवेश किया था।
I don't think it would be crazy to have a model or an entity model on the Reconstruction Finance Corp. That goes back to 1932, although it was really implemented in '33 under Jesse Jones, and it invested in mostly banks initially and preferred stock and that sort of thing.

हमारे पास हर जगह यादों की कमी है। वास्तुकार कभी-कभी संदर्भ और निरंतरता को ध्यान में रखकर निर्माण करने की बात करते हैं, धार्मिक नेता इसे परंपरा कहते हैं, समाज सेवक इसे सामुदायिक भावना कहते हैं, लेकिन हमने अपनी बस्तियों से यादों को ही मिटा दिया है। हमारे पास रफ्तार और ताकत है, लेकिन कोई ठिकाना नहीं। सफर है, लेकिन कोई मंज़िल नहीं। सुविधा है, लेकिन कोई सुकून नहीं।
We have everywhere an absence of memory. Architects sometimes talk of building with context and continuity in mind, religious leaders call it tradition, social workers say it's a sense of community, but it is memory we have banished from our cities. We have speed and power, but no place. Travel, but no destination. Convenience, but no ease.

जर्मनी का इतिहास जल्दबाजी में लिए गए कार्मिक निर्णयों से जुड़ी गंभीर गलतियों से भरा पड़ा है।

हेक्टर के संघर्ष, प्लेटो के वाद-विवाद, वर्जिल की कविताओं या ओविड के शोक-गीतों से आत्मा का क्या भला होता है? वे और उनके जैसे अन्य लोग आज प्लूटो की क्रूर तानाशाही के तहत उस नरकीय बेबिलोन की जेल में अपने दाँत पीस रहे हैं।
How is the soul profited by the strife of Hector, the arguments of Plato, the poems of Virgil, or the elegies of Ovid, who, with others like them, are now gnashing their teeth in the prison of the infernal Babylon, under the cruet tyranny of Pluto?

विरोधाभास यह है कि अमेरिकी अर्थव्यवस्था की स्थिरता और वैश्विक व्यवस्था को दिशा देने की उसकी क्षमता के सामने अब एक नया खतरा मंडरा रहा है, और यह खतरा खुद पूरी दुनिया में पूंजीवाद को फैलाने में उसकी अपनी सफलता से ही पैदा हुआ है।
One growing threat to the stability of the U.S. economy, and therefore to its capability to continue to direct the global order, paradoxically emerges from its success in establishing capitalism around the world.

동아시아의 대학들이 그토록 바라던 위치에 도달하지 못한 데에는 여러 가지 이유가 있습니다. 결국, 현대 동아시아가 공자로부터 시작된 것은 아니라는 점을 기억해야 합니다. 사실 동아시아의 현대 교육 경험은 상대적으로 짧으며, 그 시간적 규모를 감상해 볼 때 많은 대학들이 잘 해내고 있습니다.
There are many reasons that universities in East Asia have not reached the positions that they had hoped for. After all, we must remember that modern East Asia did not begin with Confucius. In fact the experience of modern education in East Asia is relatively short and granted that time scale, many universities are doing fine.
