I loved ninjas when I was younger.

I'll be honest - I never saw myself making a ninja movie, never entertained the idea. I think ninja films can be quite cheesy unless you do them in feudal Japan.

There's something mysterious about ninjas because they're deadly and they're scary.

My dad and I used to watch 'Ninja Warrior' all the time back when it was in Japan. I would always say, 'I could do that,' kind of joking, but obviously kind of serious.

I love feeling like I'm inhabiting the body of a ninja, like I could rob a liquor store with my bare hands if I wanted to.

My secret passion is motorbikes. I want a Kawasaki Ninja.

I am the number one Ninja and I have killed all the Shoguns in front of me.

There is not now, nor I suspect will there ever be, a le Carre novel with ninjas in it. Most serious novelists are wary of including ninjas in their writing. That's a shame, because many much-admired works of modern fiction could benefit from a few.

I loved 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.' It was such a big part of my childhood.
