If you could talk to a former great in your industry, who would you choose and why?

I would say Dazai Osamu. I want to spend an afternoon with him, drinking tea, looking at him and talking to him about anything - just thinking about that already fascinates me. (Osamu was a Japanese writer who frequently wrote about self-destruction and outcasts. He attempted suicide five times and succeeded in 1948, when he was 39.)
