You can’t choose your destiny. I dreamed of being a diplomat because I love languages and culture, but in the end I started working in the entertainment industry 20 years ago.
You must enjoy what you do to get the most out of it. I didn’t plan on staying in the entertainment business for this long, but I gradually fell in love with it. It’s art and I’m proud to call it my profession.

I’ve lived my life meaningfully. I used to fear that I wouldn’t have childhood or teenage memories like my friends. But looking back now, I think it’s really good that I started working early when none of my friends even thought of it. It’s exhausting but really worthwhile.

You can’t choose what you want to be when you’re born but you can always choose to learn. The most important thing is to learn from the right people. I was lucky to meet them.

Appearing in a movie like Jan Dara has changed my world. I wasn’t familiar with many aspects of film production because I mostly do lakorn (Thai soap operas).

As an actress, the opportunities for learning are endless. When you start out, it’s all about exploration.

Jan Dara isn’t all about sex. Watch closely and you’ll see that it explores human nature. It’s dynamic. My character, Hyacinth (Jan Dara’s big crush), represents the pure love that Jan has never received.

The more you forbid something, the more curious people will get. Take sex, for example: it’s natural, we all do it, so it shouldn’t be a taboo subject.

The internet gives people freedom of thought and the tools to express themselves. But many people just post cheesy things like that they’re bored or in love. I prefer to keep those feelings to myself instead of sharing them with others.

Technology makes people impatient. They’re used to getting what they want by just clicking on it and aren’t willing to wait.

People love each other less because of the internet. Everyone thinks that they are important and that their opinion is right, which results in pretty narrow-minded notions. People obsess over the business of others instead of finding ways to advance themselves.

The worst I’ve felt was when I faced that scandal [where she was revealed as mistress of actress Thanyaret Ramnarong’s husband]. It was terrible to read all those news stories on the internet.

I have nothing more to say about that. It’s in the past and I’m moving on as best I can.

I no longer surf the internet at random. I only update things on Instagram or Facebook for my fans.

All successful people must overcome critical points in their life. If I hadn’t been faced with this scandal, I would still be spending my life aimlessly. It made me value things around me more, like my work and my parents, who are my biggest supporters. Hardships drive me to do everything better.

Nothing is perfect in this world. You never know what’s going to happen to you. Do your best and care deeply for those who love you.

Music is my passion. My dad brought me up on jazz and 70s songs. I was a singer when I was a teenager but it wasn’t that serious. Now I’m working on a new musical project, which is going to debut later this year.

I adore the 70s. I wish I was born in that era. It created so many icons in fashion and music, such as flared jeans and disco. It was a beautiful time.

I love Japan. It’s like my second home as I have relatives who live there. I love to visit small towns where there are little hotels run by grannies who take care of the guests by themselves. Also, nothing compares to a natural onsen. 

I want Bangkok to be like Japan. It would be great if we had better city planning regarding buildings and roads. I want Bangkok to have more trees and for people to be able to walk around more.

I want to have Doraemon’s language machine. I want to be able to speak in any language. It was really hard when I worked on a movie project in India, as I couldn’t speak with the locals. Body language is an important part of the Indian language. They use every part of their body in communicating. It’s their nature. I picked up that habit and kept it when I came back, too.

I believe in the destiny of love. No matter where your soulmate may be hiding, anywhere in the world, they will find you.
