Quotes

“It has happened that the ones where I played a villain were bigger hits.”

“There was a chemistry teacher at my high school that I keep in touch with. After ‘The World of the Married,’ they contacted me. They said, ‘I’m confused because it feels like the person I knew in high school and now is a lie and your character is the real person instead.’”

“At first, it didn’t feel good, because being cursed out is being cursed out. There were a lot of comments like, ‘I hate seeing him,’ and ‘He gives me a bad impression.’ It was the first time I’d heard that I gave off a bad impression in my whole life.”
