Quote

I'm fascinated by Japanese cuisine.

I've always loved Japanese legend, anime and manga.

So many of us, we love these things that come from Japan. We play the video games every day, we read the manga, people watch the cartoons, they absolutely love it.

Japanese is sort of a hobby of mine, and I can get around Japan with ease.

I really love traveling to Japan.

It is impossible to remain indifferent to Japanese culture. It is a different civilisation where all you have learnt must be forgotten. It is a great intellectual challenge and a gorgeous sensual experience.

Japanese food makes me feel particularly good.

I didn't read so much Japanese literature. Because my father was a teacher of Japanese literature, I just wanted to do something else.

I'm a huge, huge lover of weaponry, of Japanese martial arts movies.

My life was very Japanese.
