I believe in mysticism, with an interior goal, and you are your own temple and your own priest. I don't believe anymore in religions, because you see today there are religious wars, prejudice, false morals, and the woman is despised. Religion is too old now; it's from another century, it's not for today.

I started studying mythology, just on my own. Joseph Campbell, mysticism.
I read a book called 'The Tao of Physics' by Fritjof Capra that pointed out the parallels between quantum physics and eastern mysticism.

I would like to do a role that has something to do with mysticism or even a supernatural one.
The challenge to Asia is to discard the dry, meatless bone of mysticism and fatalism.
