I didn't start out to be a movie star. I started out to be an actor.

Luckily, I think, I never really wanted to be famous, I just wanted to make movies.

I never really thought I wanted to become a movie star.

I never wanted to become an actor to be famous. I just wanted to be a good actor. It served me pretty well.

I didn't have any desire to be an actor until right before I did it.

I spent so long studying really hard to become a fine actor, but threw it all away because I got the adulation and the fame so easily.

I didn't become an actor to be famous. I genuinely love acting and never expected to make a penny at it.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

I was very aware that my path into the industry would probably be as an actress and not in production, that I could learn a lot that way. And I did.

Hollywood was a detour, although my mother was an aristocrat from Tokyo who ran away to join the theatre, so acting is in my genes.
