showing
The painter has total control over what they're showing to the viewer.
cold nowadays people rivalry war
People nowadays don't know about the Cold War and the U.S.'s old rivalry with the U.S.S.R.
european horror huge
My parents were huge fans of westerns, European cinema, and horror in particular. They wouldn't just show me kids' films.
thankful
Looking back, I am thankful that I didn't go into the film industry.
simply work
I have to have a creative role; otherwise, I simply wouldn't come into work.
I don't really want to be a celebrity.
centre criticise maybe stories
In the past, the U.S. was the centre of the world, where everything was happening. I think my stories have always sought to question this, maybe even criticise it.
memories past identity
My past identity separates from me and remains in the past; he becomes someone else. Is memory really as insubstantial as the fragments of information that we store in our heads?
war fighting battle
War buddies don't exist in the meeting room. It's a battle between a lot of different officers. Some continue fighting when they don't realize that they have been shot.
caves cameras lost
What's troubling is that because the camera is 3D, the northern part of the screen isn't necessarily north anymore. So the jungle transforms into the true meaning of a jungle. For someone with no sense of direction like myself, I get lost in the caves every time.
bathroom disneyland
At Disneyland, you never go backstage - even when youre in the bathroom.
book reading japan
I was born in Japan and raised in Japan, but those are the only things that make me Japanese, I've grown up reading books from all over.
two clothes office
I usually wear casual clothes to the office. I wear a suit maybe two or three times a month, and usually only when I need to meet with the head office.
games gears lasts
I always say this will be my last Metal Gear, but the games in the series that I've personally designed and produced-Metal Gear on MSX, MG2, MGS1, 2, 3, 4, Peace Walker and now MGSV-are what constitute a single Metal Gear Saga. With MGSV, I'm finally closing the loop on that saga.
