I know just enough Japanese to get by if I get lost and greet an audience properly, just from having a lot of Japanese friends and being there over the years.

I have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.

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

I really love traveling to Japan.

The Japanese seem to be a loyal audience.

I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.

Well, in Japan, I have got a group of musicians that I have worked with a lot, that concentrate just on the hardcore stuff, say, that Naked City has been working on. We have like a repertoire of sixty songs now.

I went to the Tokyo Film Festival in Japan because I love Japanese cinema.

I think Japanese audiences are much more attentive than a London audience.

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.
