Ken Watanabe's quotes

  • I'm not a big star in Japan. I'm an actor. I have a very normal life. Four days a week, I cook at home. A star doesn't do that.
  • Each director is different. Clint Eastwood and Chris Nolan are completely different, and I need to adjust to the story and character and the director and just my duty as an actor.
  • As a Japanese actor, I really want to work with a lot of actors and actresses in the world and many directors who have many different kinds of talents. I feel like nationality doesn't matter at all.
  • If the script is good, the cast and director good, I'll go anywhere.
  • With Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) then Memories of Tomorrow (2006), I reached a sort of turning point in my acting. I had poured so much of myself into those movies that I really had no idea where to go from there.
