Improvising things is always changing. A lot of momentum.

I really didn't intend to be a musician when I left Japan.

I still think that I'm playing instruments, not just pushing buttons and there it goes. It's interactive and alive with the sound and the manipulation and it plays like instruments.

I was playing in other rock bands. Any of those bands didn't last long.

So now I don't have time to practice drums. It's been five years since I've touched the drums.

I'm interested in stories and the dark side of peoples' minds.

The most important thing is that it's much more fun to play in a band than to be in an audience in a club. That's the main thing I think, that you can do it.

With a rock band, you play the same things over and over and over.

I got tired of different drum sounds so you buy different effects for more manipulation.

Blood and death. That moves me.

I've done some music for films and I really enjoy doing it.

God alone knows the future, but only an historian can alter the past.

Oh Google, she thought I was suicidal.

The avarice of mankind is insatiable.

The monetary policy of the United States has a major impact on global liquidity and capital flows and therefore, the liquidity of the US dollar should be kept at a reasonable and stable level.

The bad stuff is easier to believe. You ever notice that?

Discipline is the foundation upon which all success is built. Lack of discipline inevitably leads to failure.

The mingled incentives which lead to action are often too subtle and lie too deep for us to analyze.

The skin of a python is no less precious to the snake than fur is to the fox.

I moved to L.A. and really didn't dig living there until I found places like Koreatown and Little Tokyo. I really like hanging out in the grocery stores and restaurants.
