Quotes

“I enjoy acting so much that I have no need or desire to be called a great actor. This is partly my personality, but also the fact that I get so absorbed in acting, to where I can’t see or think of anything else. I can’t tell you what great acting is, but for me, it is to give everything you have with honesty, sincerity and persistence.”

“I usually decide whether I’m going to star in a film or not based on how much I understand the scenario, not necessarily how much I understand the character of the film.”

“From the very beginning of my career up until now, it was always the scenario that came first. I wanted the scenario to be something that I could relate to, and it had to be a story that I want to tell the audience.”

“I have never thought of starting out in Hollywood. I think it’s probably the same as when people watch movies, they look at this different world inside on the screen, and they think, wow, that’s a different world, that’s an interesting world. I kind of feel the same way about Hollywood.”
