, I want to try new creative things and find refreshing stories. That's how I've come to choose the roles that I've done.
The main reason for choosing a project is not really the renown of the director that's making the project.
When I first read the script, I thought it has such a unique structure. That was my first impression. And the character I was going play, it was very important.
