Quotes

“I drink fruit and vegetable juice and take about 10 kinds of supplements.”

“There are many times I don’t feel well, so in the late afternoon, I go to the hospital. I go to the dentist, dermatologist, and family doctor.”

“I’m way past the optimal age for marriage now, I don’t have the stamina. The more I focus on work, the less energy I have for love. I don’t really want to break up my lifestyle habits now, either. I’m not saying I’ll be a bachelor forever, but I don’t feel a huge desire for marriage.”

“To be honest, I abhor romance. I don’t think I’m at the age to star in romance [films or dramas]. Since I’m not an affectionate person, I’m not a fan of romance.”

“I didn’t necessarily want to play a moral character.”

“The kind of roles I have played in the past was quite limited. I don’t think I had many chances [to show something new] […] I’m willing to take on any role as long as it’s interesting.”
