Quotes

“In real life, I’m not the maternal type, but rather the type to respect the other person’s boundaries.”

“I focused on delivering the fact so that emotions wouldn’t sway my performance. In real broadcast, there’s a teleprompter, but I had to memorize the entire script, so there was a lot of pressure.”
