"Do you believe in ghosts?

Well, I believe in the idea of experiences, and one of the things I loved was the Japanese belief--which is almost a religious belief to them--that when someone dies with so much emotion, so much pain and anger and frustration, it then envelopes a place.

I don't know if I necessarily believe there's a girl in a white dress floating around!..."
