![“I try to take interest in whatever comes my way. Another aspect of this is [that] if at the beginning it seems like something I don't want to do, I ask myself why I don't want to do this and why I feel this way. It's perhaps rooted in the fact that I'm trying to avoid something.” quote by Takashi Miike](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/fbf/takashi-miike-3507_asks_i-try-to-take-interest-in-whatever-comes_1375443.jpg)
