Which do you prefer—being a VJ or being an actress?
Acting in a play and hosting a TV program are quite different. When I work as a VJ, I can be myself and say what I want. Also, I need to solve sudden problems during the show and cope with many guests each day. On the other hand, when I act in the theater, I have to be someone else. I have to make them understand the play, no matter how complicated it is. I have to convince them to see the character I’m playing. I like both jobs. They are each challenging in their own way.

Why do you think you were chosen for the part?
I was really nervous because there were a lot of talented actresses auditioning for the role of Miranda. Before she faces the real world, she grows up and never knows that there are other people besides her father and herself. This makes her more childish than she should be. She and I have one thing in common—we are both sprightly. I always want to make others happy. I may not be the most talented actress, but I’m just right for this role.

What have you learned from taking part in this play?
Even though I’m doing my Master’s Degree in drama, I had never acted in real theater. While working here, I’ve seen each person’s ability. Everyone has spent a lot of time on this project. People have their different sides. They may be funny in the real world, but they are serious in here.

What is the best thing about The Tempest?
It’s theater! But it’s really special and different this time. The story takes place on an island, thus, we made the theater simulate that island. I’ve seen the whole production and it’s just fantastic.

Has your daily life changed at all?
It hasn’t changed that much. I attend classes in the morning, rehearse the play in the afternoon, and I work at the show’s studio at night. It sounds like a lot in one day, but I have no problem dealing with it.
