Japan's very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don't think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things.

These object lessons should teach us that ninety-nine parts of all things that proceed from the intellect are plagiarisms, pure and simple; and the lesson ought to make us modest. But nothing can do that. ↗
