“I’m more flustered than happy. This was my first project since returning from military service, and I missed the filming set so much. I’ve spent countless hours in the military and missed this scene so much; I’m taken aback to receive such a meaningful award.
I put a lot of thought into my acting, but when I look around me, I see many people who work harder than I do, and many who are more talented. It makes me wonder why I am here holding this award.
No one knows how long I’ll be in this profession, but I don’t want to be replaced until the day I retire. I will continue to study, think, and act more ardently.”
