, The award doesn’t mean nothing to me. My reward is getting new jobs, new projects - that’s my reward. Of course, that moment when you receive the award, you’ll be very happy.
We are all human beings - the same human beings.
When I watch the movie, I don’t want to learn anything. I just enjoy it. So whatever they see, they can see [from] a different angle.
