Quotes

“The best thing about becoming famous is that it has become easier for me to play roles that I want to play.”

“My acting career was not a waste of time and I never had the chance to play cheerful roles when I was in my 20s, so I guess that is why I am now able to play the role of a divorcee with a painful past.”

“[When choosing a role] I don’t look at how many times my face will appear on the screen, but rather I consider whether there are good reasons for the character to appear on the show.”

“I didn’t want a ‘sponsored wedding’. It’s supposed to be a family event where everyone has a good time and it’s a once in a lifetime thing. My husband and I each invited only 40 members of family and friends.”

“Weddings are supposed to be a happy day, so I decided on a small wedding because I didn’t want to stress myself out. I didn’t want to be so busy when it’s a special day for me and my family.”
