GS: Did you have a boyfriend?
Nijo: Yes.
GS: Were you living with your boyfriend?
Nijo: A little bit.
GS: When did you decide to be a model and an actress?
Nijo: When I was 20 years old I was a company president.
| "LA people, they're nice the first time, but it's just fake. If something happens to you, they never take care of you." |
GS: Of what kind of company?
Nijo: Import/export. Actually somebody wanted me to be president because he couldn't find the right person. He had another company and the next company he didn't want to do it himself.
GS: What kind of import/export?
Nijo: Importing Italian bags, wallets and selling to department stores. It was so hard.
GS: What was so hard about it?
Nijo: Because it was a new company, it doesn't have anything. I make up our basic things. Finance money from bank, a lot of money. I always worry about how to pay back money.
GS: How long were you doing that?
Nijo: About a year. It was too hard for me. I didnšt have time to eat. I went to office and get out 11 or 12 o'clock at night. I couldn't eat at all. I get sick and my stomach upset all the time. I could not eat, threw up.
GS: Did you quit?
Nijo: I made everything, the basic things, then I quit.
GS: What did you do then?
Nijo: I decided to study modeling because I didn't want to worry about any money and anybody else.
GS: Did you go to Tokyo right after you quit?
Nijo: Yes. I went to a couple of places and they wanted me to model for them. Only for fashion shows.
GS: How long did you stay in Tokyo?
Nijo: About two years.
GS: When did you decide to come to Hollywood and become an actress?
Nijo: I loved Hollywood movies since I was kid. Being an actress is wonderful, don't you think? You can be a teacher, a doctor, you can be even a killer.
GS: This was all decided on your own?
Nijo: Nobody recommended it to me.
GS: Could you make a living modeling?
Nijo: Yes.
GS: How much would you make in a month?
Nijo: Sometimes nothing, sometimes a lot.
GS: What would be your best month?
Nijo: Couple of thousand dollars.
GS: Two thousand?
Nijo: More. If you do a commercial, you can get tons of money.
GS: Ten thousand?
Nijo: More.
GS: Fifteen thousand?
Nijo: Yeah.
GS: Did you do anything that people in Japan would remember?
Nijo: I did Kose Cosmetics. That was a long time ago. My agency sent me only for fashion shows. I didn't do print, only Kose.
GS: When you came to the States did you know somebody over here?
Nijo: Nobody. I just wanted to get out of Japan.
GS: Why did you want to leave Japan so much?
Nijo: Because it's uncomfortable. Too many people, no privacy. I went to New York first. PAGE 3
