Every one of us, no matter how damaged or abnormal or shut down, we're all looking for love. Every person needs love in this world, but our views on what love is vary enormously.

I don't see divorce as a failure. I see it as the end to a story. In a story, everything has an end and a beginning.

I hate jealousy, I hate possessiveness. I'm nobody's possession.

I maybe missed money in my childhood, but I didn't miss love, that's for sure. My dad wasn't there, but I can tell you not even once did I think I was missing something.

I always listen to all kinds of different music from different years. I listen to the contemporary, but once in a while into '80s, you know, just for fun, and sometimes classical, too. I listen to trance, pop, everything. It really depends on my mood.

Hollywood always represents this big dream and fairy tale in people's minds, but to me, it's just hard work. Of course, we play fairy tale on the red carpet. It's all Cinderella. But when the clock strikes midnight, I turn into a gray mouse and I go home, and I take my dress off and it's over. That's Hollywood.

A Bond girl must be a strong and independent woman, but at the same time charming and sensual. Those opposite qualities combined together make her interesting. She must be strong but at the same time feminine.

As an actor, you don't want to play a one-dimensional character.

If a man can make me laugh and stimulate me intellectually, then I wouldn't mind if he was 4 ft. 8 in. with a huge belly. The only thing that would put me off is bad breath--but even that can be fixed. A bad personality isn't so easy to fix.

I just went to an acting agency one day and said, "I would like to act. Would you take me?". And they took me.

I did not have a father. It was my mom who chose to be alone. She felt that she would be better off by herself with me, after I was born.

We were born and we die. In between, I think we try to live as best we can.

In Paris, everybody is in black! But you know, in Ukraine everyone wears bright colors.

With modeling, you go somewhere for 24 hours and you don't even see the city, you don't talk to people or see the culture.

When you're never home and traveling, you don't play video games.

You know it's harder to be a girl in this world because we're the weaker sex.

You don't dream about things that are impossible; that are out of your range.

With modeling, you provide an image that is fake, with acting you have to provide an image that's real.

I've always had a way with a gun. As a kid, I loved to fire them at the shooting range in amusement parks. I'd always return home with a handful of prizes.

I believe in miracles. At the age of 13, I was on holiday in Moscow with my mother. It was the only trip I took in my whole childhood. We stepped off a metro train and were approached by a talent scout who told me that she wanted to sign me to her modeling agency.

I looked for acting classes in Paris just to do something different than modeling. And then one day I just thought, "Okay, that's enough, I have to start doing something". I went to the acting agency and I just told them I wanted to act and asked them if they would give me a chance, and they did.

I just love France, I love French people, I love the French language, I love French food. I love their mentality. I just feel like it's me. I'm very French.

I don't like the mentality that comes with rich Russian men. Because they have money, they think they can buy a woman - and they do. They can't just meet a woman and fall in love. And it's women's fault because they allow it.

All I want to do is a rom-com, but you know, people see me as an action person because the first movie that was seen by a lot of the public would be Hitman (2007).

What I love about sci-fi is that every generation's films are based on what we know at that point in time. We make movies about the future but it's always based on what we have. Then as science grows and we discover new things, so do our ideas.

My life is not that glamorous. I actually live a pretty simple life, really. I just work. I don't have time to do all these glamorous things. I just do my thing, just work.

I've loved men that wear un-ironed clothes, it doesn't make me fall out of love. When you love someone, you should see beyond their image. It just makes me want to iron their shirt. But once you love a person, they could wear a garbage bag!

I love it when a man cooks; it's one of those points that makes me adore a guy. I think it's so romantic and I feel cared for when a man cooks. As long as it's good. I wouldn't let a man cook cabbage, though, because I'm pretty sure men can't cook cabbage.

I love fire. I've always regarded fire as my friend.

My great-grandmother Anna and grandmother Lena were very beautiful. The great-grandmother was a healer. She was Belarusian. She worked as housekeeper at the Szlachta family Pudlovskiy. The owner seduced her. From owner was born my grandmother Lena. Pudlovskiy wanted to take her because he had no children of their own, but great-grandmother did not give in.
