But it is so hard and lonely for an actress like me to survive in such a situation in which people just sit and hope for luck. It took me at least nine years to realize the reason why I should be on a stage. When I made my debut as an actress by chance through a play called A Taste of Honey , I just thought acting would be interesting and didn't give it serious consideration. But while I was acting on a stage like that, before long I came to feel kind of limited, which made me go abroad for study. And it was Agnes of God that taught me the reason why I should be on a stage.
Plays are only possible by the communication between actor and audience.
The audience gives me such overwhelming energy that I can't fall into mannerisms. That's why I thank them all the time. In fact, I'm regretting taking over a monthly magazine, The Guest Seat . I'm not familiar with, because my life as an actress is hard enough. Even if I have any regrets for my rash actions, though, I will keep at it until it can survive without me.
