I walked into an international economics tutorial, and the professor said, ‘I don’t know how to teach a woman.’ I said, ‘It’s the same as teaching a man.’ I just sat down, and he had no choice but to start teaching. When I handed in my first paper, I think that shut him up.

In my situation, unlike some players who retire because they have no choice – either teams don’t want them or injuries have caused them to retire, and they just can’t do it – for me, I really had never thought I would give out mentally before I gave out physically, but I think that was the case.
My advice is if you have to do music, then do it! There’s no choice in your heart and your soul – unless you have that kind of great need, desire and determination, it’s pretty tough out there!

My first pay cheque was when I was a security guard in a Benetton showroom, which was Rs 900.

A generation ago, or two, when there were three channels, plus PBS, and when you needed – when you needed 15 million people to make a living, the media could focus on the broad country.

When you’re sitting in the basement trying to get on, you have no choice – you’ve gotta figure out how to make a song: ‘I’ve gotta bang on these buttons until it sounds good.’
I find it vulgar that people are so fascinated by natural disasters, and we allow footage of young people that are looting because they have no choice because of natural disaster.

‘The Newton Boys’ was the one time I’ve made a film with really active characters who weren’t at all self-reflexive and just plowed through their lives. There’s a part of everyone that’s like that. We have a biological imperative to keep living, keep moving forward… We have no choice.
I dropped out of college my junior year to do Saturday Night Live, and I didn’t even consult my parents. They were very supportive because they had no choice.
If you’re not being pessimistic, you’re not being very realistic. But I think one must always have hope, and when you have children, of course, you have no choice but to work your tail off to try and protect the future for your children. And that is infused by hope in the end.
The cool thing about dope black style becoming in style is that the industry has no choice but to try and reduplicate that.

It’s a secret, but when I decided to apply to ‘Shonen Magazine,’ it was already past the deadline, so I had no choice but to go with ‘Shonen Jump.’ My motivation for becoming a cartoonist was… to put it bluntly, the ¥100,000 prize money.
