Chiaki Kuriyama

"I've been playing these schoolgirl roles in all my movies. Every time I went to the set, it felt like I was going to school."

"I loved playing Go Go, because the character's so extreme. And she's pretty close to my real character. Especially the fact that she liked her sword with a lot of accessories."

"Japan is very much a TV-centred entertainment industry. So when you talk about big stars in Japan, generally they are people who are on television. I work mostly in movies."
