I really enjoy myself in Norway. Because I had started losing confidence in my ability of what I do. But sometimes, man, you just get tired of fighting and trying to prove yourself.

I miss riding those fast trains in Japan... 'cause I'd never seen a train that fast in my life.

Stay in school, stay off drugs, don't make the same mistakes I did, respect yourself, and others will follow.
