I never really went to any concerts that I wasn't in.

I had no intention of being an entertainer.

I had no ambition to become an actor at all.

I had no musical training at all.

It's not really that I didn't want to perform at all. What I didn't want to do was try to put together a band, rehearse, on my own. You know what I mean?

For a long time, I couldn't actually deal with playing concerts; it was a totally alien concept to me, 'cause I was used to playing in clubs and dance halls.

I didn't start making music in order to be famous.

I had no fear of speaking to large audiences.

I really didn't intend to be a musician when I left Japan.

I didn't really buy LPs or go to concerts.
