This character in the film, these things that he says which sound like advice and wise things, they are very common for Orientals. It's all the tradition.

I can't say I gave up totally my passion for women but almost.

I want to live every moment totally and intensely. Even when I'm giving an interview or talking to people, that's all that I'm thinking about.

I've always been extremely lucky in my life.

I didn't want to be a slave to any passion anymore. I gave up card playing altogether, even bridge and gambling - more or less. It took me a few years to get out of it.

I see only defects because I'm not following the scene as it were. I'm not following the other person. It's like the best thing to clarify this is the theater.

Working gets in the way of living.
