When I was growing up and until I got married, I had some times when I felt a bit lonely and a little bit isolated - even after I got married.

When I was growing up, I didn't have tons and tons of friends.

When I was working at the game company, I wasn't just doing graphic design, I was doing the entire product management, so I would do the graphic design, I would create the advertisements, even the catch copies. I would figure out what kind of packaging and design of the packaging, so I was basically doing total product management at that time.

The first I paid to see with my own money was 'Laputa Castle In The Sky.' And I was like, wow! I really shocked by it. So I want to make movies that have a similar impact on the audience to that.

Horror can be contained within a book, given form and meaning. But in life, horror has no more form than it does meaning. Horror just is.

My purpose is to make exciting music, and I feel like I'll be doing that for the rest of my life, so there's no pressure.

One thing I've learned about life is that if you really let go, it's just a joy ride.

I never see myself as the famous person. It never was a part of my life, and I hope this doesn't become the most eminent thing about what I do. I just hope that I'll do things that have meaning for me and for others somehow.
