I know it sounds as if I am overpraising Mifune, but everything I am saying is true. If pressed to find a defect in him as an actor, I could say his voice is a little rough, and when it’s recorded through a microphone it has a tendency to become difficult to understand. Anyway, I’m a person who is rarely impressed by actors, but in the case of Mifune I was completely overwhelmed.

This is the nature of war: by protecting others, you save yourselves. If you only think of yourself, you’ll only destroy yourself.

Day by day I came to hate you more. It gave me a reason for living.
Besides, it’s amusing to make fortunate men taste the same misery as the
unfortunate.
