I've always wanted to say that, even if it is a bald-faced lie.
While in Tokyo I had the distinct pleasure and honour of being interviewed by Director's Magazine. The interview, and a rather silly looking photo of me appeared in the Aug-Sep edition of the magazine. I just got a copy (bit of a delay, but hey, it came all the freaking way from Japan, man!), and while I have no idea what it says, it's still pretty cool, so I wanted to post it for posterity.
Here's a scan of the picture page:

Is it just me, or do I look a bit confused about what I'm doing there? I'll put it down to jet lag.
And here's the cover and article page:

Apparently I made the cover (thanks for pointing that out Keith).

"...while I have no idea what it says...."
You've got your name though, right? It's the leftmost column of the three smaller columns of type, gu-ra-ne-to-su-ki-na-a.
Real cool that you've got that international presence, why that's how Sean Connery started out.... ;-)

I had once a Japanese substitute teacher. Apparently, they ain't a good Japanese name for my name (only use my first name for communication). I still think I need to change my last name to it's on par with my first names :)
