Quotes

“Some movies feel like they are shot in a hurry and disappear as soon as they release, but Our Body seems to have been staying by my side for a long time, and for that I’m thankful.”

“My life changed as I was training for the movie, and even now I keep working out and jogging. I, too, realized that “the honesty of the body becomes a consolation”, as it is said in the [Our Body] movie.”

“I came to understand that, whether it is while studying for an exam or going to an audition, life doesn’t always go my way, but I can find comfort in the physical exercises that have honest effects.”

D”irecting isn’t something I am particularly interested in. The reason I wrote scenarios and directed movies when I was in college was that we had the idea we should try to make our own projects together, since we wanted to play but were often unsuccessful at auditions. For the time being, I just want to gain more experience as an actor.”

“There are so many roles I haven’t tried yet, it’s impossible to point out just one. That said, I would like to portrait the life of a woman specialized in something like police or medicine. And also, I would like to try my hands at a romantic comedy, something that is enjoyable to watch and that allows me to show a more lighthearted acting.”

“It’s not like I’m no longer going to work because I’m getting married. But those titles come to define your image and it doesn’t always have a positive effect. I realized that that is why actresses are careful about getting married. But I didn’t want to be cautious like that [so I confidently revealed my marriage news].”
