Pat Morita

I'm in semi-retirement, but what am I going to retire to? I don't ride horses, I don't golf anymore. I shoot a game of pool every now and then.

I'm awkward at these things. Just being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Karate Kid was a real surprise and I was a little uncomfortable.

You may have heard that back in the States there are some people who are smoking grass. I don't know how you feel, but it's sure easier than cutting the stuff.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

If you have a block of ballistics gelatin and a high-speed camera, pretty soon somebody gets a gun!

I'm quite content to spend my life helping young people find themselves. I've had my fill of politics.
