I follow the director's lead because they generally know more about the big picture, but I also trust that the director will give me enough freedom to play.

A lot of the characters I play on Japanese shows are actually acted in Japan by women. I don't know what that says about me.

I have had fans make me the big picture collages of the photo books; I have had fans send me birthday cakes... sing to me on my voicemail. I have had fans flash me. I have had older fans give me their bras and underwear onstage.

The big picture doesn't just come from distance; it also comes from time.

Give me any two pages of the Bible and I'll give you a picture.

I'm very visionary, very big picture.
