Growing up I watched a lot of Hong Kong movies, I watched big stars like Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau, and Tony Leung on the big screens.

I had a lot of friends who dreamed of being actors, and as I hung out with them, I became more interested in it.

I never thought about becoming an actor. Even when I applied for university, I didn't choose theater as a major to become an actor.

The camera, I hate it. That's something I need to endure while working as an actor. In the end, because of fame, Gong Yoo exists. It's the driving force that keeps me going.

One of the favorite conservative themes is that the cure for poverty is more marriage and earlier marriage. We hear that all the time; there have been billions of dollars now, between the Bush administration and the Obama administration, which has continued the marriage education program, on trying to get more people to get married.

I'm not married and I don't think that's going to work out for me. I'm not even bitter, I'm just exhausted.

I lived in New York for seven years, although I was always in denial about it. Even though I had an apartment there, I always pretended I was just visiting. I do love New York. But I'm a Londoner at heart.

I have a recurring role on 'Person of Interest,' which is my husband's show. I play the love of his life. It was really fun to do that.
