Quotes

“As I was working on [Lonely Enough to Love], I began questioning if I truly don’t like being lonely. I realized that not only I don’t mind, but also I think there are positive sides to loneliness, because it helps you to appreciate having company and the joy of spending time together with someone.”

“In my 20s (for example), when the script said ‘cry like a beast,’ I had no idea how. But now I get the hang of the feeling. As time passed, I feel like I’m growing through playing different roles.”

“I think having a romantic relationship is always desire. I need to experience and learn that comfort, happiness and the tingling feeling to be able to realistically express these emotions as an actor.”

“If there’s one thing I really care about today, it is that I want to be part of works that viewers want and get some comfort from watching.”
