「姿やエクボではなく、演技で観客を引きつける女優になろう。ひとつ、ひとつ、ぶきっちょな彼女が演技を身につけていくには、苦難の道を辿る『長距離ランナー』にならなくてはいけない、と思った」
『どろんこ半世記』 by 音羽信子
I thought I wanted to be an actress who could attract the audience not so much by her look and cute little dimples; but rather by her acting. If you are not so talented, you must be determined to tread a thorny path, or in other words, to be a "long-distance runner".
Actress Nobuko Otowa (1924-1994)
