When I was growing up, I'd be in the choir. My mum was the organist in the church, so I'd sing in the church.

I told the record company I didn't feel the need to be at red-carpet events. I wanted a career. But I wanted to keep myself intact as a person.

It's very homely, this castle. It doesn't have huge ballrooms. I didn't want a cold, cavernous place.

I do promotion when it is necessary, but I always want to get back to the music.

When you start your bobsled career at 30, a time when most are settling down into their 'real careers' and many are getting married, you can imagine the barrage of questions and the look of, 'You're doing what?' that you receive.

I was in Girls' Generation because of luck, and fortunately, Girls' Generation received a lot of love. I would want to help my daughter walk a different career path.

For the moment, I haven't ended my career. I'm young. There are still a lot of goals.

From what I hear, everyone who does a Marvel movie gets a three-picture deal. I'll be Sam Jackson's stand-in. I'll do eight pictures for Marvel, and then I'll just do indies. Marvel can pay for my indie career.
