Find something to believe in, and find it for yourself. And when you do - pass it on to the future.

You have to be very careful when you're working on a sequel, because it has to be a continuation of what you did before.

I was born in Japan and raised in Japan, but those are the only things that make me Japanese, I've grown up reading books from all over.

There are so many books and movies I like I never mention specific ones.

I respect Shigeru Miyamoto, so there will be a lot of mushrooms in 'Metal Gear Solid 3.' But you cannot eat turtles.

I want to reassure fans that I am 100% involved and will continue working on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain; I'm determined to make it the greatest game I've directed to date. Don't miss it!

What I'm doing is creating a game. I'm not making a movie. To make the game more enjoyable and captivating, and to make the player feel like he's present in that setting, we need the cinematic element.
