Quote

I was born a character actor.

I wasn't born an actress, you know. Events made me one.

I don't have an exact moment when I decided I wanted to be an actress - it kind of was just really a part of my growing up.

Growing up, I wasn't sure about acting, but I knew I wanted to be part of the movie industry.

I'm not some sort of tormented soul looking for an identity in the roles I take. I became an actress because I just love dressing up and playing.

I wanted to be a dramatic actress. Life doesn't go the way you think it's going to go.

I was not born into the world of the stuntman and the daredevil; I was born into the world of theater and writing and sculpting and classical music.

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.

I got pigeonholed a bit. When I wanted to be an actress, I never wanted to be the kind of actress I became.

I've never really felt like I was a child actor. Just an actor who happened to be quite young.
