Characters and Voice Cast
When asked by an interviewer "With which character do you empathise the best? Or on whom do you feel you can best project yourself?" Watanabe responded by saying "That's a difficult question." He added that he empathized with all of his characters but that he had to simultaneously "keep them all at arm's length" or else he could not "create with them." Watanabe also said he felt there were "bits of me in every one of the characters."

Famous quotes containing the words characters, voice and/or cast:
“I have often noticed that after I had bestowed on the characters of my novels some treasured item of my past, it would pine away in the artificial world where I had so abruptly placed it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“These marbles, the works of the dreamers and idealists of old, live on, leading and pointing to good. They are the works of visionaries and dreamers, but they are realizations of soul, the representations of the ideal. They are grand, beautiful, and true, and they speak with a voice that echoes through the ages. Governments have changed; empires have fallen; nations have passed away; but these mute marbles remain—the oracles of time, the perfection of art.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The Puritan through Life’s sweet garden goes
To pluck the thorn and cast away the rose.”
—Kenneth Hare (1888–1962)
