I love badminton. That's my sport!

I'm a bit of a romantic. In theory!

I love boats. I can be on a boat for days.

A lot of movies are made to make us dream.

I like men who paint or write or do something creative.

When you love someone, you should see beyond their image.

I believe that when things are easy, people stay dormant.

My face changes when I wear make-up; I don't recognise myself.

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

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

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

If I hadn't been a model, I couldn't have become a movie actress.

I always try to learn a few words from a new language wherever I go.

I'd love to work with David Lynch. I'm such a big fan. He's a genius.

To be a Bond girl you need courage, charm, determination and feistiness.

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

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.

Balconies scare me, and I would never do a shoot on one. I am afraid of heights.

When you live in a small town in the Ukraine, you definitely want to go to Paris.

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

Being single is only sad if you have a problem with your own company. I'm content with mine.

Music evokes so many feelings in us, memories, nostalgia, things that are connected to our past.

I bring spiritual books with me while travelling. I like books about thoughts and how you see the world.

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

Having people I love around me - friends and family - is great, but I don't necessarily need a relationship.

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

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.

Why marry? If you're not married, you just leave each other and it's cool. Who needs the paper? To me it means nothing.

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

It is true that women in Paris never put on make-up. It shocked me when I first got there - then I realised how much I liked it.

To tell you the truth, I don't really follow what men wear. Men's fashion is much simpler than women's. It doesn't change as much.

America's fine, nice, nice hiking near L.A. But I am European. I love London and Paris. Friends and intellect, big thought, why not?

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.

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.

I've seen guys sit the whole day doing nothing, and I hate it when people are unproductive. I don't like a guy who sits on the couch all day.

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.

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 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.

We shot 'Oblivion' in Iceland; that was amazing. It's so, so beautiful. They didn't have any Waldorf Hotels there, though; we stayed in the middle of nowhere!

I love fire. As a child I loved setting light to things. I'd always be in the forest putting matches to pieces of wood. I've always regarded fire as my friend.

I grew up in the Ukraine and then I went to Paris in 1996. I went there because there was a modeling agency that invited me there to work so I thought, 'Sure.'

I'll never forget the modelling shoot I did in the Bahamas on a pink sand beach at Harbour Island. It felt like I'd just landed in paradise; it was so beautiful.

On a Terrence Malick set, your thoughts are his voice. You think you're thinking, but actually he's thinking for you. He speaks to you, and he's the voice in your mind.

Every actor has to move in a Terrence Malick film - that's the requirement. If you stop, he'll tell you, 'No, no, keep moving.' You can't be static. It's a choreography.

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.

Love and faith are both a search, a process, it doesn't stay the same; it comes and goes. In some people, it's asleep for a long time and then it wakes up as it evolves.

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 know how addictive videogames are - I have friends who cant get up off the couch because theyre so hooked. They provide these different virtual worlds that you can live in.
