I am glad to be here to create a new history in our industry. I'm very proud of this.

It's very difficult to introduce the world to our culture.

The difference between working on Asian and American films is in the producer and director; everyone has their own style. But, Hollywood has a lot more money; they can spend a lot on films, and time. In Europe, there's a small budget and thinking about commercial. Only budget and taste is different between there and Hollywood.

I was a child actor, so when I started filming when I was five years old, it was a long time ago.

None of us knows how long he shall live or when his time will come. But soon, all that will be left of our brief lives is the pride our children feel when they speak our names.
