- As you get more wrinkles on your face, you get to feel deeper emotions. I don't feel regretful about getting old.
- In the past 10 years, I got married and I gave birth to twins so I became a mother as well. As a woman, I've gone through a lot of changes. Marriage and giving birth. These 2 things bring about major changes in a woman's life in the East as well as the West so that is true for any woman anywhere in the world. Because of that, my perspective on life has changed too and that became my criteria in selecting the works that I want to participate in.
- I've got different emotions. That is a good thing about being an actress. It is a profession that you can express the emotional changes you undergo when you get old, get married or bear a child. Acting is after all a study of humans.
- I just want to warm and touch the heart of our viewers. If just this one goal is met, that would mean success to me. I couldn't ask for more.
- I lose some, but win some as I grow older. I believe aging is more of a benefit for my career, because my experience is reflected in my acting.
