I love to go bungee jumping, jump out of planes, ride motorbikes, do kickboxing. I love all that stuff.
- Catherine BellBut I was very, very lucky, and it was a wake up call as far as motorbikes are concerned. I never flirted with death on the bike, but now I`m totally convinced they`re death machines.
- Liam NeesonI became a director because I didn`t have another choice. I dreamed of becoming a motorbike racer because I love motorbikes a lot. I think anyone can become a director, especially if you have money. Even Haruki Kadokawa became a director. To become a famous musician is also a way to become a director and like Takeshi Kitano achieving fame as a comedian and then becoming a director gives you a lot of freedom. There are so many ways to become a director. If there is a 1 - 10 scale for talent, then a 10 point talent is a director, but a 1 point person can also become a director if he has the talent to make the right contacts. In motorbike racing on the other hand the winner is always an extreme talent. Even if we train a lot we can`t beat them. I admire that kind of world. But I didn`t have a choice. I never thought about becoming a director before. I considered the occupation of film director as being for the intelligentsia.
- Takashi Miike
