If I had to name one thing that differentiates me from the other women, it's that I get free stuff at restaurants or get discounts.
— Song Hye-kyo
To keep the skin moist throughout my travels, and within a tight schedule, moisture care is necessary. And skin ageing originates from dry skin. So before I go to bed, I use my Laneige Perfect Renew Regenerator, and sometimes, I use Water Bank Essence, too.
Playing Mo-yeon was satisfying because I could be irritable. I normally can't be like that in public because of my image.
I usually go to the swimming pool if I want to swim.
In 'The Grandmaster,' I had a supporting role, but my character in 'The Crossing' is much more central to the plot.
It would be good to rely on the man during my most tired moments. The best is if he will listen to my stories when I am stressed.
I don't believe love has borders. If I meet a nice man in China, I definitely think it's possible.
I am very pleased to be working with director Woo.
I personally think that it is acceptable if I take a step forward and can act with more diverse expressions and feelings.
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.
If I were to do a drama again, I would really like to work on a fatal melodrama, like a love that can't be.
To me, age is not that important.
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.
When I'm not doing a project or working, I also eat and sleep at home in my comfy clothes.
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.
People assume that I'm girly. But people who know me say I'm more boyish.
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.
In most professions, you build up confidence and a sense of achievement as you go along, but that's really not true for acting.
With more and more stress from work, at times I really do hope to have someone I can lean upon.
I love to travel, so I visit a lot of places.
The dramas that I worked on were successful, but not the movies. I still have many opportunities, and I will not be discouraged.
Regardless of the success of a drama or film, I will be satisfied if viewers say that my acting has progressed and has gained more depth.
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.
My mother told me it's better to start using anti-aging products even at a young age. Especially since I'm an actress, and I'm constantly under stage lights or exposed to a lot of sunlight.
Honestly, I do not care about my age.
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.
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.
The only difference is that I'm a celebrity, and I'm shown to the world. Apart from that, I think I'm like most women my age.
When I think that I'm the only actor from South Korea to have worked with John Woo, it's really humbling.
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.
When I was younger, I liked guys who had a good personality and decent looks.
Song Joong-ki is known for his sincerity and manners. He is younger than me, but I thought I learned many things from him.
I don't usually paint a big picture on what I'll do in the future.
When I begin shooting, I get nervous, as I am under pressure to do my job well.
I await a project where I'd have to deeply invest my emotions in.
I think using anti-aging products really helps; the sooner the better, you know?
Sometimes I think, 'I need to get married soon.' Other days I think, 'Why get married?'
