This fits into my mouth and I know how to do this. Iget what this person wants and how he operates and I believe I can do a good job with these words; this cadence and the way that this person speaks.’It was only when I read the larger portion of the script that my initial impressions and thoughts about him (Sanji) were further confirmed.”
