“Many things happened in my life, and I thought that they changed me. But in the end, nothing has changed since I was seventeen.”

Say, Nana… You look like stray cat, wild and proud. But I can see the wound in your heart. At the time I just thought it was cool. I never realized how hurt you were.

She was my sacred angel that I could never violate. Reira was my sanctuary. I needed something solid like that in this dirty, disappointing world.

I am glad I met you and I am glad to say that.

Right now I am full of greed and vanity, so I cannot live with you like before. But may be we can meet like this.

The table was her stage. The mobile phone was the microphone. And the new moon was the spotlight. That kind of magic only Nana could make it happen.

Hey, Nana… people’s feelings change easily… what you see is a house of cards… nothing’s sure, and nothing lasts forever.

Even now, sometimes on street corners… when I meet someone, I see your shadow.

I have to get back to the hotel. But I don’t know the way. I always rely on Shouji so I didn’t notice where we were going.

Don’t say the words I wanted to hear from Ren.

At that time I told myself that I didn’t want to fall in love ever again. But that night while praying for your happiness Nana.

The things that stress me out haven’t changed. But I don’t wanna lose anything. So I thought that at least I would change. I’m lucky…that I’m afraid of losing something.

Trapnest means “The Trapped Den” Once we enter it, we can’t get out by our own means I thought that that name could only come from a man who love having power over other.

Cinderella’s glass shoe was the perfect size…. so why did it slip off as she ran? It must have been to attract the attention of Prince Charming. I don’t see any other explanation.

The feeling that was born that night, how could i describe it?Words like love or lust just don’t seem right.

The loneliness caused by not hearing Ren’s voice… I felt it deep in the night. I felt it deeper than anyone else. Even now at times I look back.

Hey Nana, If Cinderella’s glass slipper fits so perfectly, I wonder why it fell off along the way?

The things that stress me out haven’t changed. But I don’t wanna lose anything. So I thought that at least I would change. I’m lucky…that I’m afraid of losing something.

It really moved the dial politically. That’s what is needed in the women’s movement – a strategy that can drive awareness and culture change.

Being such a tomboy growing up, that was one thing that changed me as a person, as well. It broadened me, like me cracking myself open in a certain way.

I’m 90 years old now, and my motivation hasn’t changed; it’s the same fervour that drives me.

I think the digital cameras have changed my view. Even though sometimes, including the installations that I show, I mix 35mm filming and video handmade.

If your religion has not changed your life, youd better change your religion.

My understanding of busy has certainly changed! My daughters have had an incredible impact on my life and the way I live it.

The game of business used to be like football: size mattered. Then it changed to basketball: speed and agility.
