I've always been attracted to characters that were interesting to me, and different.

When I did The Fifth Element [1997], it was like, "Oh my goodness, who is this character?" I loved doing Resident Evil, but Resident Evil is Resident Evil with or without me. It's an entity of its own. It's not like Milla made Resident Evil.

When you're doing martial arts, you feel like you can master certain skills and be so much more in control of who you are, so that really appealed to me.

I feel like confidence is something that ebbs and flows. I was given a lot of love and attention from my family growing up, so for sure I had a natural confidence.

Everybody needs to go to Mongolia just to see what it is to be a human being again.

Its going to seem idiotic to say this, but I think that at a given moment we all need a place to ourselves where we can refuge ourselves and cut ourselves off from the world.

I love to draw, so I really want to go and study art. I've never done things for me. I've always done things for my career or for my family.
