[edit] Quotes

• Shinji Mikami interview:

-- By the way, At that time, did you have a role model? I mean someone you admired in the field?

Mikami: Mr. Fujiwara

-— He is your master?

M: Yeah. He is scary master for me. Maybe evil master. I still can't compete with him. I'll put myself at his feet. He has some kind of different atmosphere than other people. He is not big or macho and he doesn't raise his voice either but he is really scary. His way is not "Yes or No" only "YES". I learned a lot from him, one big thing I learned from him is "Create freedom inside restriction."
