• " I think acting is my heart and my soul, that's what I was born to do. As long
as I can act, it doesn't matter. TV or movies, either one is fine." (*The Journal)
• "I'm fond of little vacations and I do that pretty much after every job if I can. I think the hardest thing about working back-to-back is that you don't have enough time to get one character out of your system. I find that going away somewhere and being alone can really clear your head." (*The Journal)
• "Just because one is a celebrity, doesn't mean they can always be made up or look pretty, does it? If you're
dressed casually without any makeup on, and you're caught walking the streets and shopping, you should just
smile and wave hello. That way, they'll appreciate it and won't bother you any more. The paparazzi are people
too so when they are treated with respect, they don't heckle you back." (*hyesa.com)
• "I don't think there was a time when I was completely happy. And the opposite
is true also. When I look back on the last 10 years, I think there was always
both happiness and worry." (*hyesa.com)
• "Occasionally it ['SoonPoong'] comes on cable and when I watch, it still makes me laugh.
I have thoughts like 'Why were you so fat' and 'Why is your make-up like that?'
I probably wanted to hurry up and become an adult. Because it made my name known,
it's a very important project to me. Of course, it was a strong image so there
were some difficulties. However, it's fortunate that I did 'Autumn Tale...' it
seems where I am today is because of it." (*Joy News)
• "I strived for the character of Hwang Jini. Now I am delighted and excited about
chance to experience her life. I used to be 'Song Hye Kyo the entertainment star',
but today I feel myself becoming a real actress. My voice and behaviors have
differed from the past due to being Hwang Jini for months. I love movies because
I can accumulate my experience from various characters." (*Hong Kong

• "Honestly, when I do get married; it will a more important priority than work. Because it seems you
can't make both the same priority. Family will come first, and occasionally when
a good project comes along, I will do it." (*Cosmopolitian)
• "I feel I have started to realize the true meaning of acting slightly and now
the greed for acting is growing more. I want to attempt acting I have never tried
before. It doesn't matter if it is a movie of drama series. I want to appear in
drama series as well. But I do want to do well enough in films to be able to
proudly be referred to as the 'Movie Actress Song Hye Gyo,' at least for now " (*Yonhap News)
• " 'Why does only one type of character come to me? Is it because people
only want to see me in that type of character?' These are the thoughts that
I greatly had. If this character keeps coming in repeatedly, it wouldn't be
fun nor would I be able to sincerely give 100% to my acting. Then people
would be able to see and know that. I was distressed so
'HwangJini' came at a good time. When I met with the director, he was saying
'why do people only wish to see Song Hye Kyo's innocent features? If she is
pushed a little more, new features will surface. We don't know if it
will work or not but I want to at least try once.' (*Movie Week)
• "If there's a chance, I'd certainly like for Ha Ji Won and I to star in a movie together where we're both the heroine. She's really a great actress. I'm interested in what Ji Won sshi's next project will be."(*Sportsworld)
• "Since I've been acting for so long and started at an early age, I don't think there's anything else that I can do." (*SBS Live Entertainment)
• "My mom hated how my lips looked when I was a kid. She thought my lips looked like they belonged to ‘Kunta Kinte.’ She would make me go like this [pulls her lips in] during photo shoots, otherwise I looked cheap [laughs]. Then I started doing a lot of makeup modeling, and they later told me the lipsticks I wore in my shows sold a lot. People told me that my lips are pretty, and I started to believe them, and my mom doesn’t say a word about my lips anymore.” (*donga.com)
• "I'm a seal!" [Jokes when asked if she swims good]
• “If you don't pick me, you may regret it.” [During the casting process for "HwangJini"]
• "I want to be an actress who can lose herself in her roles without caring how she looks."
• "If I see a painting, I think of learning how to paint, if I watch a musical, I think that I may like to do a musical someday. Things I had never considered before, things that had never entered my heart. Those are the kinds of things I gain." (*hyesa.com)
• "It ['Autumn Tale'] was filmed mostly in local districts but even to this day I can’t forget the weather and smells associated with that time. I don’t think there has been another piece of work in which I was so absorbed." (*hyesa.com)
• "Usually when I hang out with friends, I'm very similar to my 'Full House' character...very bright and active, I like to have fun."
• "I've still got more time to work and act in the future and there will be characters that I portray well and those that I can't. That's something that the audience will decide."
• "I was sick and tired of my roles. To be frank, I played much the same roles until I was cast as Su-yeon in All In. I was really bored, not to mention the audience. I had a slightly different part in ‘Rays of Sunshine’ in 2004, but I concluded that my characters on TV will ultimately all be the same.” (*chosun.com)
• "I’ve gotten some good response from ‘An autumn’s tale’ and received many screenplays. But I wasn’t old enough to know what love felt like. I didn’t want to mimic being in love when I didn’t know what it’s like. Now is the time.” (*donga.com)
• "I am coy when I need to be, but usually I’m down to earth. Cha Tae-hyun asked me to become his sidekick" [laughs] (*donga.com)
• "At that time, I really hated that I was short. I know now that that’s who I am. You all know. Song Hye Gyo is short and cute. It’s not a complex for me anymore." (*hyesa.com)
