Quotes

  • I always feel constrained by the budget and by time. We always are very rushed during both production and post-production. It's the nature of movie directors. We always want more time and more money. Most people who work in the American film industry are very surprised when they find out what the Japanese film industry is like.
  • [on link=tt0107290] I enjoyed the film, but it was too realistic. It would have been much more enjoyable if some fantasy elements had been incorporated into it.
