Song Hye-kyo

“Playing Mo-yeon was satisfying because I could be irritable. I normally can't be like that in public because of my image.”

“I don't find it uncomfortable that I'm recognized and liked by so many people. If that were hard for me, I wouldn't be doing this work. Rather, I think I'd be more sad when a day come when people don't recognize me.”

“I usually fly abroad to shoot films and for interviews, so I spend a lot of time inside planes, and I feel that my skin gets very dry.”

“Some days I think, 'I have to get married soon,' but other days I think there's no need to get married when I'm enjoying life while doing something I love.”

“Honestly, I do not care about my age.”

“I love to travel, so I visit a lot of places.”

“For dramas, I've become more careful because now there are specific works that you think of when you hear the name Song Hye-kyo.”

“In my late teens and early 20s, I worked hard on my roles, but, to be honest, I didn't feel any special commitment to acting.”

“I don't believe love has borders. If I meet a nice man in China, I definitely think it's possible.”

“People assume that I'm girly. But people who know me say I'm more boyish.”

“Sometimes I think, 'I need to get married soon.' Other days I think, 'Why get married?'”

“In most professions, you build up confidence and a sense of achievement as you go along, but that's really not true for acting.”

“The dramas that I worked on were successful, but not the movies. I still have many opportunities, and I will not be discouraged.”

“When I'm not doing a project or working, I also eat and sleep at home in my comfy clothes.”

“Just like how male actors get to play varied characters, I would also like to play characters that people don't normally see female characters portraying on screen.”

“There are so many talented actresses in Korea right now, but they're not seen because there aren't roles in which they can show their talents.”

“With more and more stress from work, at times I really do hope to have someone I can lean upon.”

“In 'The Grandmaster,' I had a supporting role, but my character in 'The Crossing' is much more central to the plot.”

“I cry if something bad happens. I grab a drink with friends when I get stressed out. I travel. I sometimes lash out at my closest friends.”

“I await a project where I'd have to deeply invest my emotions in.”
