Quotes

“[As a kid] I was really stubborn. I had to do what I wanted to do, and I was really curious about a lot of things. In my spare time, I usually laid in the park and debated what life was, and I fell into the thought about why on Earth we are here.”

“I had this fear that someday I’ll have to take a break and let go of what I’m holding, and I would have to settle down before that. I think that was the military. After finishing my military service, I feel that I want to challenge more myself now, over and over. I became curious about how far I can go.”

“I write things down that I feel ashamed to tell someone, regrets about my own foolishness, it’s filled with my regrets. When you’re tired and exhausted, you’ll have selfish moments where you only think about yourself. Every time that happens, it’s time to make up your mind to take care of the people next to you a little more.”

“[I want to live as] someone who always makes up their mind to think well. Should I say someone who has a relaxed mind? If you want to have a relaxed mind, you need to expand your perspective, and in order to do that, you need to try harder and have more confidence. There are a lot of things to follow.”

“No matter what people around me said, I needed the courage to not be hurt. That much was the energy I wanted desperately. This is a similar feeling to love. Lovers are in their own universe and if they firmly love each other, then it doesn’t matter what people around them say. I think it took time until I could love acting that much.”

“Of course there are times where this job is hard, there are times when I hate it, but ultimately I’m a person that can’t live without this job. I parted from it for a year and a half and as expected I couldn’t stay away.”
