An actor’s job is to make the fake look real. I want people to feel that what’s happening in a movie, TV show, or play is real. If that’s the case, I should be persuaded by the character first. I like that. I’ve always been curious about someone’s life, so being able to think and empathize as that 'someone' gives me great joy. Because this is the work I wanted, I will give my best in acting. I hoped that spirit would come through. I’m running toward growth as an actor who is sincere about the character and broad-minded.

I love movies so much that I watch about 100 films a year, for much the same reason. The idea that I can truly experience worlds I haven’t lived in and stories I haven’t endured is truly magical. At one point De Niro said, 'Always give your best. The work you’re making may become a piece of history.' I 100% agree. I will act with passionate dedication, doing whatever it takes for the project.
