I started to model because I thought I could use it as an excuse to others, like, 'Yeah, I'm tall because I'm a model.'

I remember when I was little, much younger than I was when I started modeling, people always said, 'Oh, you should be a model.' But I didn't like people telling me what to do... But I didn't plan to transform into an actress, either. It just happened.

From Tao Okamoto

I used to have a very difficult childhood because I was always the tallest girl in school, and everybody was staring at me and saying, 'You are very different.' Now, different is good.

From Tao Okamoto

Modeling is exciting, but I certainly felt frustrated that I couldn't speak out or express myself. I always wanted to express my desires in some other medium.

From Tao Okamoto

I'm not good with blogs and social networks because those things come and go. By the time I am used to one thing, a new type of social media is already trending.

From Tao Okamoto

Japanese people are not known for expressing their feelings through singing and dancing, but I like to sing a lot. I don't just sing to myself in the shower. I sing everywhere.

From Tao Okamoto

I've always loved fashion and, of course, enjoyed my experiences walking on runways, but I love watching the shows as well! Now I understand more why it's such a big deal for the industry and why people work so hard before and during fashion weeks. It's interesting to see the same things from a different angle.

From Tao Okamoto

Hugh Jackman is just the nicest person in the world. I know everybody says that, and it's almost boring to hear, but he is really, really perfect.

From Tao Okamoto

I always admired Hugh Jackman as an actor in movies but also in theatre because I'm a big fan of Broadway musicals.

From Tao Okamoto

That's my dream: one day, I want to standing on the stage on Broadway. I sing; my dancing is terrible, but I can be trained. That's my dream. That's something I really want to work on.
