I lose some, but win some as I grow older. I believe aging is more of a benefit for my career, because my experience is reflected in my acting. - Lee Young-ae

As you get more wrinkles on your face, you get to feel deeper emotions. I don’t feel regretful about getting old.

After I got married, I started my doctoral programme in a graduate school. I wanted to study acting in a more profound way, and I had a great time learning a lot about it. Moreover, I remained faithful to my family. I watched my kids growing up and I found new kinds of joy by starting a family.

In the past 10 years, I got married and I gave birth to twins so I became a mother as well. As a woman, I’ve gone through a lot of changes. Marriage and giving birth. These 2 things bring about major changes in a woman’s life in the East as well as the West so that is true for any woman anywhere in the world. Because of that, my perspective on life has changed too and that became my criteria in selecting the works that I want to participate in.
