मैं बहुत कम उम्र से ही थिएटर करते हुए बड़ा हुआ हूँ - मुझे हमेशा इसमें मज़ा आया। मैंने कॉलेज में इसकी पढ़ाई की, इसमें डिग्री ली, और कभी भी पेशेवर तौर पर इसे करने की हिम्मत नहीं जुटा पाया। लेकिन एक गर्मियों में, मेरा एक दोस्त एक एक्स्ट्रा (सह-कलाकार) एजेंसी के साथ था और उसने मुझसे पूछा कि क्या मैं उसके साथ एक फिल्म में एक्स्ट्रा बनना चाहता हूँ, और मैंने कहा, "हाँ, ज़रूर।" लंच के समय, लेखक मेरे पास आया और मुझसे एक भूमिका के लिए ऑडिशन देने को कहा। मुझे वह रोल मिल गया, और फिर वहीं से बात आगे बढ़ती चली गई।

I grew up doing theater when I was very young - always enjoyed it. Studied it in college, got my degree in it, and never really had the guts to do it professionally. But one summer, a friend of mine was with an extras agency and asked me if I wanted to be an extra with him in a movie, and I was, like, "Sure." At lunch, the writer came up to me and asked me to audition for a role. I got it, and it sort of snowballed from there.

मैं करीब 1981 में टोक्यो पहुँचा था। उन दिनों, मैं लगभग दो महीने के लिए लंदन गया था—वह मेलकम मैकलारेन के अपना सोलो एल्बम 'डक रॉक' रिलीज़ करने से ठीक पहले का समय था। जब वे जापान आए थे तब मैं उनसे मिला था, इसलिए जब मैं लंदन गया तो उनके घर गया और उनके तथा उनकी गर्लफ्रेंड के साथ एक शाम बिताई। उन्होंने मुझसे कहा, "लंदन इस समय बहुत बोरिंग हो गया है। तुम्हें न्यू यॉर्क जाना चाहिए।" इसलिए उन्होंने न्यू यॉर्क में अपने किसी दोस्त को फोन किया, जो शायद उनका कोई पुराना असिस्टेंट था या कोई ऐसा व्यक्ति जिसने वहाँ शुरुआती हिप-हॉप रिकॉर्ड करने में उनकी मदद की थी।

I arrived in Tokyo in around '81. Around that time, I visited London for about two months - it was the period just before Malcolm McLaren released his solo album Duck Rock. I'd met him when he came to Japan, so I visited him in London and spent one evening with him and his girlfriend over at his house. He told me, "London is boring right now. You should go to New York." So he called a friend in New York, who I think was an old assistant or someone who helped him record early hip-hop stuff over there.

मुझे लगता है कि 'कंट्रोल' शब्द सही नहीं है। मैं इसे इस तरह कहूँगा: आप भीड़भाड़ वाले कमरे में किसी खूबसूरत लड़की को देखते हैं और दिल में उम्मीद लिए उसकी तरफ़ बढ़ते हैं। मेरी फिल्में इसी तरह बनती हैं।

किशोरावस्था एक तरह की ऐसी अंधकारमय दुनिया है जिससे हमें गुजरना ही पड़ता है। हमारे भीतर सब कुछ होता है, यहाँ तक कि बुराई और अपराध भी। साथ ही हम अपनी स्वतंत्र इच्छाशक्ति की खोज करते हैं। मुझे हैरानी होती है कि यह सब हमें एक बार में ही पूरी तरह विचलित क्यों नहीं कर देता।
