Anime has sent me all over the world, introducing me to people who have touched my life in indescribably profound ways.

Anime has been good to me. I made and continue to make very little money at it, but the undying, feverish loyalty of the fans of the genre has been such a life-changing influence for me that I wanted to do everything I possibly could to help give something back to them.

All my life, people have been underestimating me.

My life is cinematic in some ways.

Fathering is a major job, but I need both things in my life: my job to be a director, and my kids to direct me.

As soon as I touched the mic, I knew that's what I would do for the rest of my life.
