BF: Do you... when you look back in hindsight, what impact -- now, this is talking about you personally -- do you think your involvement had on you, I mean growth, or lessons, or changes?

GU: Well, I think it was the most important and most intense thing I ever did in my life. That's one thing. I never went at anything with as much intensity and feeling as this. Secondly, the nice thing about that feeling is that the people with whom I worked closely, also felt the same way and there was an intense bond that was created between the people with whom I worked, and I love them and I respect them. So that was something I got out of it, I mean, I have some friends. And the third thing is that this was not a great Japanese tragedy like you see in the movies sometimes, but it was a success and it's, this is America, not Japan, so it's always nice to win.
