Quotes

“I thought I was someone who wasn’t able to go quickly. I spent a long time as a child actress. After appearing as an adult actress, I spoke a lot with my acquaintances about how I’d be able to fill up my career. What I chose then was ‘slowly, taking one step at a time.”

“My strategy has been to take little steps. It was important for me not to lose the image of familiarity that viewers have of me, but to add a new image at the same time.”

“My projects were successful and that helped me land the next project and the next. Inside, I used to question whether being an actress is the right way to make my life happy. This insecurity gave me guilt that I might be taking the place of others who most eagerly would take acting as their career. In order to get over the guilt, I became a perfectionist about myself. My smallest shortcomings then were enough to let me down.”

“I want to be an actress whose presence in dramas or films would not be a surprise. So when viewers see me on movie teasers or posters, I want them see it as natural.”
