I don't think there's ever a moment when you can actually say, "I found it." Even when you think you did, the next moment something happens and it can drift away. It's about the evolution of love and faith. It constantly surprises us.

I don't know what the misconceptions are, but I approach a small budget, artsy, independent movie in the same way as a big budget, commercial Hollywood movie. I don't get into those [details]. I have to get into my character and I concentrate on that, on the story, on researching, and on certain training if I have to be prepared physically. I think that's the most important thing.

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 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.

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.

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

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.
