Quotes

“In acting, I think time and experience are important. Five years ago, I worked hard without knowing much, but I think I’ve matured a little since then as time passed. While I was working as a model, other actors gained that much more experience in acting during that time. When I first started acting, I wondered, ‘Why am I not good at this?’ but it was because I spent less time and effort than they had.”

“Really, I failed every time I tried. I thought, ‘Why can’t I do this? Did I go down the wrong path?’ I had this sense of shame, but that was how much I was lacking. I was competing with actors who prepared more, so of course I failed. I believe that the longer you concentrate and do this work, good results will come.”

“There are a lot of people who want to work as an actor, but I’m grateful that I was even given the chance.”

“It’s as fun to do acting while expressing emotions actively as it is to do acting that shows inner emotions little by little. I enjoy learning in every role I play. It’s kind of funny to say this, but I was sincere in the past, and I am still sincere now about wanting to try acting in diverse roles.”
