There's an interview with Ikeda Junya I want to read, but my Japanese level isn't high enough to understand it. If I gave the link, would someone be kind enough to read it for me and tell me what they're talking about please?

I wish I can give you the translation of the entire interview, but forgive me for just giving you a summary... due to my English skill and time. Any question is welcome, though.
----------
I was in the production of the drama, "Garo-." I said that I can do a backflip, but I could not do with a trampoline. The supervisor scolded me so much and said that you shouldn't say that you were a stunt man just because you got happy when did what you were able to do. Other people work hard but only a few can get a reputation...I was overconfident about the easy things I was able to do. I needed to have the idea that it is fine that I cannot be no.1 in any aspect. When I was 16, about 5 years ago, I decided to become an all-rounder because it's not easy to become no.1 in one thing nor rely on it if it was possible...

I acted in the play フランダースの負け犬 this July, and it was like a sparkling firework. I wanted to give an expression as large as possible in behaving as a character even though there was a risk that the audience was annoyed...

In 2015, I'll be starred in a musical 薄桜鬼. It's not like I work harder just because I'm starred or because I have a special role, but I will make efforts as I have done before. It does not matter who is the main character and who is not. I will try to keep what previous actors have left, and extend the history by continuing the plays...

I have needed to be earnest on making a character. It is a story, so everything is fictional including scrips, music, spotting lights,... but in order for audience to feel the fiction, we have to make a reality. Actors have to be "alive" to play a role. Please watch the play since we will confidently show the work that everyone can enjoy, which is our job...

I've discovered many things in talking about myself. I am an actor, so I have to be able to deliver something to someone. There is a story and us, a filter. Then, if the story was delivered to the audience, they will cheer and push us up, which enables us to go forward. I do not forget about the people at any time, and I would like to continue to deliver stories so that they can make more discoveries and have fertile feelings...
