There are so many simple things getting unnoticed in me, it makes me feel I am a robot!
I could keep trying to do the same kind of comedies. You know how it's going to go, and you can get an audience with it, but then I feel like a hamster on a wheel.
I feel like I'm kind of a bit of a sponge in a way. Like, if people around me are going through things, I find it very hard not to be empathetic.
Really I feel less keen about the Army every day. I think the Church would suit me better.
One of my thoughts on the back nine was 'I don't know how Tiger has won 14 of these things,' I couldn't feel my legs on the back nine.
August depresses me a little. I don't even feel like eating. And when I don't eat, that's a sure sign of stagnation.
I think I feel a little differently than other people do. For some reason I've never felt grown up.
What I say is from my heart. You must be sincere. So when I sing a song, people are supposed to feel it.
I am often critical of Israel's policies when in the country, but then feel defensive of them when overseas.
I like books that don't give you an easy ride. I like the feeling of discomfort. The sense of being implicated.
I like sparseness. There's something about that minimalist feel that can make something have an immediate impact and make it unique. I'll probably always work with that formula; I just don't know how.
I'm an enormous fan of Thomas Bernhard's books, and I like the relentless feeling in his work - the pursuit of darkness, the negative - and I think in some sense I've internalised that as what one is supposed to do.
I don't want to be typecast as the 'ambient guy' or someone who only does electronic scores. I think most of the work that comes my way is because people feel they know me musically.
It was all so far away - there was quiet and an untouched feel to the country and I could work as I pleased.
I feel like at 50 I've decided to become a rock star, which is, you know, typical of me. I always seem to work backwards.
As a Japanese actor, I really want to work with a lot of actors and actresses in the world and many directors who have many different kinds of talents. I feel like nationally doesn't matter at all.
I always want to be a part of ensembles. Besides it feeling safer, I think it's a more fun environment to work in. To have a bunch of people collaborating on something, it takes the pressure off of each individual.
One of my big fears is drying up, and the more I create, the more I feel myself shrinking beneath the backlog of work I've done.
And although I've been very fortunate in the film work that's come my way, I need to get back to the stage. If I'm away for a maximum of two years, I feel something's wrong.
Just all that hard work, all those hours in the pool, I feel like it's about to pay off. I guess we'll just have to wait and see this summer.
I would not want to be a part of any project that I feel would not work. An actor like me always wants to work to get appreciation of the audiences. And appreciation can only come if people will come to watch the film.
