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. Show less «

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. Show less «

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. Show less «

I was chosen for The Wolverine (2013) because there weren't any other Japanese actresses available who could speak English. With Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Hannibal (2013), I got the roles as a result of previous work I'd done, not just because of my nationality. Show less «

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. Show less «

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.

I was living in Paris for, like, a year and a half, and I couldn't speak French, so it was just hard to get a baguette or a pastry or whatever. All the stores close at 6 o'clock, and they're not very into hospitality, so it's not a convenient city. It's so pretty, though, but I was raised in Tokyo, so it was hard to understand. Show less «

Most of the time, as a model, I feel like I'm just a doll. They control how I should move.

My character in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) isn't supposed to be Japanese, but director Zack Snyder said he'd seen me in The Wolverine (2013) and had to get me in the film somehow. Hearing that was like music to my ears. Show less «

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. Show less «

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. Show less «

I remember when I saw X-Men (2000) the first time, I was living in England as an exchange student, and my first boyfriend, who's an Englishman, made me watch the movie... He was very jealous that I liked Hugh Jackman so much. Show less «
