Quotes

“I’ve only recently started to realize how lucky I was to star in popular TV and film projects. There are so many TV channels and a wide array of films to choose from, yet people taking interest in my works means a lot to me.”

“My brother recently told me a story that made me cry a lot. Like usual, my father said he feels left out by his wife and kids. My brother hugged our father from behind. My dad was speechless for a long time. I cried because I realized that he talked a lot because he is lonely.”

“It’s a burden to be dubbed a role model by several young actresses. I look back on my 21-year career and I feel like I’ve walked down the right path until now. In the future, I’d like to try new roles and change my acting style ― like diction and tone.”

“Without acting, my life is boring and dull. I feel healthier when I’m working because I try to stay in good condition, eating the right food and socializing with people. I also fear that my acting skills would get rusty if I take a break from it for too long.”

“I want to live a life that is like a lake without any ripples. (Laughs) A life where every day is like the same. I’m having my first break in a year and a half now. I want to stay at home doing nothing.”
