All my life has been a journey. But my journey differs from the journeys of most men.
I have come East to find what the public likes.
I like America anyway. In Japan we are much more formal. If two friends are separated for a long time and they meet they bow and bow and bow. They keep bowing without exchanging a word. Here they slap each other on the back and say: Hello, old man, how goes everything.
I shall ask to see whether they want me in dress clothes or in Japanese.
My one ambition is to play a hero.
That is one reason so many of the Japanese pictures are not good, they cannot spare all the footage necessary for that bow, which is repeated over and over again.
