- [FBM Magazine 2017 - About reputation] It is all about the quality, not the quantity. The reputation is like the amount of awareness of the product packages by the consumer to me. Therefore i can't say that i take it seriously. I believe the awareness is temporarily and consumed quickly.
- [FBM Magazine 2017 - About acting] I know we have an irresistible tendency to glorify our professions. I couldn't find a easier way to express my feelings about acting without further ado. But i have keywords. "Human, intelligence, creation, journey, discovery, discipline, illusion, nothingness and immortality". I'm perceiving the acting from the point of view of these concepts.

- [Onair Magazine 2017 - What can you say about Nabat character in Dag 2?] Nabat was the most authentic, humanistic and resilient character that I have come across to this day. Elements such as the emotional intensity of the character, the responsibility that she undertook in the story and her traumatic past have gone beyond the concept of "playing her" and made me "to be her". It was a character who challenged the whole world, the rules of physics and the existence. I will always be amazed by the fact that she revealed herself with her mind and soul for the sake of the truth.
