Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.

I've discovered that I value simplicity above all in dressing. I don't like anything I wear to be too complicated or fussy.

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

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!

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.

Ordinarily if an actor gets chosen for the lead in a film, he or she has already built up a repertoire, and everyone knows what he or she is capable of.

I wanted to escape so badly. But of course I knew I couldn't just give up and leave school. It was only when I heard my mom's voice that I came out of my hiding place.
