Quotes

“I wanted to shoot a youthful romance movie before I turn 30. Many of my actor friends told me, ‘It’s hard to star in such a project when you are over 30, but you are lucky to have the chance at the right age.'”

“As I began acting at an early age and had a clear goal with my career, I didn’t put much weight in pursuing love. I sometimes think, ‘Will I ever be in love?’ But my thoughts have changed while shooting Ditto, and I now think I would fall blindly in love when I meet the right person.”

“I can’t say I have zero dating experience, although I had none until very recently. I didn’t mean to hide it from the public, but the ones I’ve been in didn’t last very long.”

“If someone has acting as their dream, I think it’s the best for that person to begin his journey as soon as possible.”

“I would see the senses as being the important thing in acting. Even if it’s the same scene, the tone of it will differ according to the different person expressing the scene through his acting. In the end, acting is possible for anyone since the person itself decides on his acting direction according to his senses, and one will get better as the time goes.”

“One of my hobbies is assembling models; whenever I see a certain plastic model kit that I have always wanted to buy, I unknowingly let out an innocent reaction.”

“I love poetry. Not reading, but writing it. It’s nice to scribble whenever something crosses my mind or I feel something from time to time, even if it’s short.”
