Quotes 

“I sometimes replay some of my previous works. Especially when I need motivation, I go back and search for clips or behind-the-scenes footage from a piece I like. I get comforted by reminiscing over what attitude I had then and what kind of happiness I felt.”

“[Something I want to commed myself in is] my efforts as an actress. I try not to ignore and rather face the things that I think I lack in. I take in what people around me tell me, search for aspects I want to change, and work on them through my next projects. This is something I work really hard on so I want to compliment myself at least on this.”

“I would like thirty-year-old me to be a solid and honest person. Like I am now, a little more than I am now.”

“In all those years I spent as a child actress, there were experiences that now serve as a very strong foundation of what I can do today.”

“What I enjoy the most is being able to immerse a hundred percent into the character that I’m playing and really share the feelings that they’re supposed to feel.”

“So far, most of the shows that I’ve done have been relatively serious. I would like to venture into playing lighter characters with a sense of humour, or star in a comedy mixed with action.”

“What I try to do as an actress is to communicate with the viewers, to create a shared feeling, so that if anybody is going through a hard time, they can watch me and feel some consolation and laugh, or be happy. I believe that’s what I am doing and I would like to continue to play that role.”

“It is very important that I become successful as an actress, but as a human being, it is very important that I feel happy.”

“I don’t have any big plans right now; I think I am very happy with acting. But, down the road, if other opportunities arise, I would like to learn more. Perhaps, maybe one day write a book. Because I really enjoy reading novels too, I would like to write a scenario or about myself.”
