Even in the developing parts of the world, kids take to computers like fish to water.

Japan's very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don't think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that's already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor.

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

How are we doing in the electronics field as opposed to, you know, we hear how advanced the Japanese are? Do you think we're still pretty competitive? Oh, yes.

Technological things, that Germans and Japanese would get real excited about.

I feel very keenly the eyes of the foreign media on our country. And I think a lot of Japanese people feel that things are not working the way they should. When the time comes, I will put myself forward.

I'm encouraging kids to use computers at their own pace to build aspirations.

People talk about Japanese kids as being inward-looking. But my experience is that if you offer them an opportunity, they'll take it.

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

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.
