I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.

For myself I don't like the geisha look. It's like a mask.

Whatever you see - any good results - are all from the pressure.

I suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me.

Men are different. When they are in love they may also have other girlfriends.

Actually I ran away from school when I was 13. No one could find me, and the police were called. I was just hiding in a little thicket of grass at my school, and went to sleep.

Working in Hollywood, it's clear the more money you have, the more technology you can get. So you can build a whole Japanese set. Only in Hollywood!
