I didn't understand the American fascination with the Japanese schoolgirl. No, I don't think I can, really.

I certainly look at them very differently now, and enjoy Jackie Chan movies and movies like that.

I once hit Quentin on the head with my ball and chain.

I think the biggest difficulty is that when I'm here in America, there's a necessity of using English, so I really have a great sense of really wanting to learn, but unfortunately when I head back to Japan, the necessity vanishes and so does my enthusiasm about learning.

Obviously, the difference between a game and actual training is you're using your whole body, so in that sense, maybe not, although maybe something to do with reaction, the speed of reaction, maybe that was of use during the training.

I've been playing these schoolgirl roles in all my movies. Every time I went to the set, it felt like I was going to school.
