I Love Playing All Kinds Of Roles. I Hope It Doesn’t Sound Too Pretentious, But I Always Feel Human Nature Is Like A Piano, And There Are 88 Keys, And There Are Some White Keys And Some Black Keys, And Each Character Is A Different Chord On The Piano.

That Is Why I’m An Actor… I Love Studying People.
