Personal Quote:
It is quite enough if a human being has but one field where he is strong. If a human being were strong in every field it wouldn't be nice for other people, would it?

Trivia:
His two favorite actors to work with were apparently
Takashi Shimura and, more famously,
Toshirô Mifune. Kurosawa made 16 films with Mifune (almost always in a leading role) and 21 films with Shimura (in either a leading or supporting role).
