I really love traveling to Japan.

From the time I was in first grade or so, my dad collected 'Star Wars' toy figures from the 1970s and '80s, and we'd take weekend family trips to antique shops and to toy stores. My father collected a crazy amount of 'Star Wars' stuff over the years, and he and I traveled to many conventions.

I'm half-Japanese, so I collect toys, like a Yayoi Kusama stuffed pumpkin.

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

I miss riding those fast trains in Japan... 'cause I'd never seen a train that fast in my life.

People give me things at shows-the Robot from Japan. What I would treasure the most is a little doll of the general from the movie-and if they don't make it, I'll make my own and bring it to shows and sign it.

I'd really like to go back to New Japan because it feels like home, and I love that place so much.

In Japan, you get on the bullet train or the airplane, and I loved the little speeches the stewardesses would do. They even do little speeches before you play gigs.

I remember a great America where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas.

The Japanese fans always send weird things.
