[उत्तरी कैरोलिना] से न्यूयॉर्क जाने की मेरी एक बड़ी वजह अपनी कार से छुटकारा पाना था। लेकिन सच कहूँ तो, मुझे आस-पड़ोस में चक्कर काटना, दोस्तों का नशे में होना और उनके लिए म्यूज़िक बजाना बहुत याद आता है।

A big reason I wanted to move [from North Carolina] to New York was to get rid of my car. But honestly, I miss just riding around the hood and having some friends get blunted and playing music for them.

मैं युवा रॉक बैंड्स के रवैये से बहुत प्रभावित हूँ, यहाँ तक कि उन बैंड्स से भी जो इससे पैसे कमा रहे हैं। मैंने कभी उन्हें इसे 'करियर' के रूप में बात करते नहीं सुना। इसे देखकर तो लगभग ऐसा लगता है मानो अब कोई म्यूज़िक इंडस्ट्री बची ही नहीं है, जैसे कोई परमाणु बम गिरा हो और सब कुछ हमेशा के लिए मिट गया हो।

I'm fascinated with the attitude of younger rock bands, even ones that are making money at it. I don't ever hear them talk about it as a "career." It almost makes me think there isn't even a music industry anymore, like an atom bomb fell and it was just eradicated forever.

मैं इस पर निश्चित रूप से एक गाना बनाना चाहता था। हालांकि पिछले कुछ सालों में जो नकारात्मकता और परिस्थितियाँ रहीं, उनके चलते मैं [क्रिस रिवर्स] को उनकी अपनी आज़ादी और स्पेस देना चाहता था। मेरे पास "डेंजर" नाम का एक ट्रैक था जिसकी बीट फ्री स्मिथ ने तैयार की थी। जब मैंने दोबारा रिकॉर्डिंग शुरू की थी, तो यह मुझे मिलने वाली और सबसे पहले गाई जाने वाली शुरुआती बीट्स में से एक थी।

I most definitely wanted to make a record out of it. Due to the fact of the negativity and things that transitioned over the years, I just wanted to give [Chris Rivers] his space. I had this record "Danger" which Free Smith produced the beat. It was one of the first beats I got when I started recording again and one of the first I sang to.

मेरे लिए, एक ईसाई अर्मेनियाई होने के नाते, ईरान की इस्लामिक संस्कृति में जन्म लेने के बाद, 13 साल की उम्र में इंग्लैंड भेजा जाना और वहाँ की संस्कृति को अपनाना तथाकथित 'स्विंगिंग लंदन' (खुशहाल और आज़ाद लंदन) का हिस्सा बनना और 60 के दशक के उस उल्लासपूर्ण दौर को जीना बहुत मायने रखता है। यह वह दौर था जब पहली बार संगीत, कला, सिनेमा और डिज़ाइन के क्षेत्र में वैश्वीकरण (इंटरनेशनल) को प्रभावी ढंग से प्रस्तुत किया जा रहा था। उससे पहले, सब कुछ पुरानी इंडस्ट्री, पुरानी सोच और पुराने फॉर्मेट के इर्द-गिर्द घूमता था, और उसमें बदलाव या विविधता के लिए कोई जगह नहीं थी।

For me, being Christian Armenian, born into the Islamic culture in Iran and then, at the age of 13, being sent to England and embracing the English culture and becoming part of so-called swinging London and the era of euphoria and celebration that the '60s represented is very critical. It was a moment when, for the first time, the business of internationalism was being effectively represented-in music, art, cinema, design. Before that, everything was directed toward the old industry, the old school, the old format, and there was no room for varieties to evolve.

आप अपनी जिंदगी बदल नहीं सकते। साहित्य की यह शैली उस मध्यवर्गीय सोच के खिलाफ है, जो आपकी तकदीर को गढ़ने और बदलने की बात करती है। आप इसे बदल नहीं सकते, आप बस इसके सामने बेबस होकर रह जाते हैं। भले ही हम एक ऐसी दुनिया में रहते हैं जहाँ भगवान का कोई अस्तित्व नहीं है, फिर भी रास्ते तय होते हैं, दिशाएँ निर्धारित होती हैं—बिल्कुल बंपर कारों की तरह जो उन दिशाओं को खींचती हैं, आपस में टकराती हैं।

You can't change your life. This mode in literature goes against the more middle-brown mode, which is about shaping your destiny, changing it. You can't change it, you just become passive in front of it. Even if we live in a godless universe, there are paths set, there are trajectories, like bumper cars just pulling those trajectories, colliding.

रिकॉर्ड कारोबार अपने आप में एक विरोधाभास है। 1960 के दशक में, प्लास्टिक डिस्क बेचने का एक अलग ही फायदा था, इसलिए लेबल ने जोखिम उठाया - उन्होंने रिकॉर्ड के लिए भुगतान किया, मार्केटिंग, प्रमोशन, पब्लिसिटी और कलाकार को स्टार बनाने में लगने वाली हर चीज़ का खर्च उठाया। लेकिन अब हमें वापस वेंचर कैपिटल मॉडल की ओर लौटना होगा। कारोबार थम रहा है और हर कोई शिकायत कर रहा है, लेकिन आप इसके लिए लेबल्स को दोषी नहीं ठहरा सकते। यह एक घटिया कारोबार है। आप इसे इसलिए करते हैं क्योंकि आप इसके प्रति जुनूनी हैं, या क्योंकि आप यही सब जानते आए हैं। लेकिन अगर आपने नब्बे का दशक देखा है, तो पुराने समय की तुलना में आज की स्थिति किसी को भी अच्छी नहीं लग रही।

The record business is an oxymoron. In the 1960s, there was an upside to selling plastic discs so labels took the risk - they paid for the record, for marketing, promotion, publicity, everything it took to make the artist a star. But now we have to go back to the venture capital model. The business is stopping and everyone's complaining but you can't blame labels. It's a shitty business. You do it because you're passionate, or because it's what you've always known. But if you lived through the nineties, nobody is thinking this is great compared to what it used to be.

मैंने एमआईटी (MIT) से इंजीनियरिंग की पढ़ाई की। वहाँ, दिवंगत और महान भौतिक विज्ञानी फिलिप मॉरिसन ने मुझे इस विचार से परिचित कराया कि किसी भी व्यवस्था (सिस्टम) में यह बात तय होती है कि कोई ऐसी घटना घटेगी जिसका उससे पहले की किसी भी चीज़ से दूर-दूर तक कोई नाता नहीं होगा। इस बात ने "असंभव" शब्द को लेकर मेरी पूरी सोच ही बदल दी।

I studied engineering at MIT. There, the late, great physicist Philip Morrison introduced me to the idea that, in any system, there exists the inevitability that an event will occur which is completely unrelated to anything that preceded it. It completely changed my perception of "impossible."
