“Whatever Yasu loves, I love too. That’s the secret of love.”

I wanted to have a good relationship. One that’s romantic and dramatic, like in the movies. But I finally became a woman at 17 and learned that men aren’t really that simple.

I’m lucky that I’m afraid of losing something

That moment I felt a bit like crying. I don’t really know why. Nana’s hand felt so warm that it even warmed my heart.

I don’t think avoiding conflict is not caring. ~Shin

You were a stray cat, strutting so free and full of pride. But I could see your open wound. And without really thinking I just chalked it up to another cool thing about you.

Since people cannot understand each other by just being honest. May be its impossible to live your whole life without getting hurt but don’t hurt the people close to you.

When dawn comes, that memory gradually distances…Tonight, I will bring it to sleep with me, so that will not be taken away by the waves of the night.

It took us five hours to reach Tokyo, but I was really happy. I kept talking about myself, and didn’t hear anything about Nana. But now that I know you better; I know you wouldn’t say anything.

But even when the moon looks like it’s waning…it’s actually never changing shape. Don’t ever forget that.

Do you remember the time we met? The wind blew the snow about on the outside, the train moved, stopped, and then moved some more.

A woman’s happiness is in throwing everything away to live for love.

People can have lovers..they can have friends..they can be together..but when you think about it..you’ll see that originally..we’re alone

Why.. is human desire so unsatisfying?

Nana…how come being happy and making your dreams come true are two different things? Even now, I still don’t know why.

And now that I’ve stopped looking, I’ve finally found it. Maybe the door will open for me.

Having someone you love say “Thank you” is more rewarding than just having them say “I love you.

Whatever you want, be it. If you want connection, it’s because you are connection. Be what you want, and then it happens all around you. If you want love, be it.

If you resist confusion,you are always confused. We think that we resist certain states because they are there, but actually they are there because we resist them.

Whatever you resist, persists.

My main goal as an actor, with my craft or whatever poncy way you want to say it, is to always take the audience with me.

Always, with any movie that I do, I have a book of ideas that I’ve heard, or seen, or whatever, and I always try to incorporate it in the film.

And I try to preserve whatever’s of value and achievable in their idea.

Don’t think whether it’s a hit or not and people will get you.

We just play whatever we’re into. For a while there, we weren’t listening to too much rap stuff, ’cause there wasn’t anything interesting.
