I didn't miss training because it had become so painful for me. I filled the void pretty quickly as I went straight into coaching and it was great I had to start learning all over again and then when I went into TV I knew nothing about it so I had to start from the very beginning.
When I left Bradford and got a phone call from Dave Parnaby asking 'did I want to come back in?' I was delighted to accept. The whole buzz at the club at the moment is great for someone like me who is still learning and wanting to hopefully go into management in my own right at some point.
Obviously I've been on sets before but nothing as big as 'Twilight.' You forget sometimes that you're on set of one of the biggest movies ever- so when you just sit back and think about it its just so incredible. It's such a great learning experience.
In the United States we spend millions of dollars on sports because it promotes teamwork discipline and the experience of learning to make great progress in small increments. Learning to play music does all this and more.
Today when I think about diversity I actually think about the word 'inclusion.' And I think this is a time of great inclusion. It's not men it's not women alone. Whether it's geographic it's approach it's your style it's your way of learning the way you want to contribute it's your age - it is really broad.
I think the biggest difficulty is that when I'm here in America there's a necessity of using English so I really have a great sense of really wanting to learn but unfortunately when I head back to Japan the necessity vanishes and so does my enthusiasm about learning.
I felt that if there wasn't going to be a good opportunity then I would just go back to second units which I love keep working with great directors keep learning and knowing that the opportunity would come when the time was right.
Concerning culture as a process one would say that it means learning a great many things and then forgetting them and the forgetting is as necessary as the learning.
I hope the cooks who are working for me now are getting that kind of experience so they can use what they're learning now as a foundation for a great career.
They are the guiding oracles which man has found out for himself in that great business of ours of learning how to be to do to do without and to depart.
