"I’ve been consistently undergoing “un-genre-lization” since my debut. Isn’t genre just pressure against your personality and against music? it’s been my mission to take my music in a direction so it feels like it doesn’t have a genre....In the context of "un-genre-lization", "Utada Hikaru" itself has become a genre. But I even want to get away from that."
“I just don’t care. It’s not that I’m in despair, or that I’m lying to myself, or like a young person going “I don’t care if I die tomorrow!,” really, I don’t care if I live until 100, I don’t really care if I’m in an accident tomorrow and I lose my legs. Tomorrow, if I lost my eyesight, I wouldn’t be like “Why me?!” I would be “Oh, I see, I can’t read books anymore,” probably just something like that. Even in the world…the energy for the mass media and those who are interested in what’s going on in the world is that they want to see what they find embarrassing, they want to know what they don’t want known, they want to see someone they don’t like getting their pride damaged.”
"Your mouth is a very important part in connecting to the world, isn’t it? Breathing and talking and eating and stuff like that. Also, that’s where your voice comes from…..So, when I’m truly singing, it’s like what I said earlier about “being right in the middle and wanting to connect to everything around me.” You’re connected to everyone so you’re suspended in the air, or like a floating feeling. You completely lose all sense of reality. It feels like you’re flying and really feels good."

"A director once referred to film as a form of collective dreaming shared with strangers. Using that analogy, horror films are nightmares. Nightmares shared with strangers. And when the film is over, everyone awakens from the nightmare together. " -Hideo Nakata
大 好 き “I really don’t do anything. I do almost so little that it’s like I don’t exist. My sense of my existence is extremely weak, and as a feeling, I feel like I’m a ghost or something. That’s why I feel the most natural being alone.”-Utada Hikaru
We suffer a lot in our society from loneliness. So much of our life is an attempt to not be lonely: 'Let's talk to each other; let's do things together so we won't be lonely.' And yet inevitably, we are really alone in these human forms. We can pretend; we can entertain each other; but that's about the best we can do. When it comes to the actual experience of life, we're very much alone; and to expect anyone else to take away our loneliness is asking too much. - Ajahn Sumedho
There's a lot to come one day.
I shall write more when I can think of more, but I'm mostly on facebook since everyone moved there.
