More quotes by Milla Jovovich
I did a film [about a con-artist mom and son] called Bringing Up Bobby that Famke Janssen wrote and directed. No one's gonna hire me for their [big-budget] romantic comedy, so it's up to me to look out for great indie comedies and show people a different side of myself - even if it's for three people outside of my family.
Milla Jovovich
If you feel like you're helping someone else, it helps you feel more in control of your world.
Milla Jovovich
That was the action figure I was playing with. I grew up having this fantasy of being a superhero, being Princess Power.
Milla Jovovich
What's interesting about the movie and characters is that they're one thing to the world and another thing in their heads.
Milla Jovovich
My husband is like, Oh, thank God we didn't have a boy, because there's this train set that I've always wanted, and these Star Wars spaceships . . . They say, Don't spoil your kids, but it's one thing spoiling your kids, it's another thing spoiling yourself.
Milla Jovovich
Everybody needs to go to Mongolia just to see what it is to be a human being again.

Self-defense is so important to know in today's society. It's not just that you might get mugged. It's more for confidence. It's the way you hold yourself when you walk into a room. Every step you take is more sure and you're much more aware of your surroundings. So, I think it's a really important thing - especially for women.
Milla Jovovich
For me, having kids put so much into perspective. I wasn't so worried about my career and what I did or didn't achieve. Because, suddenly, I was like, As long as this baby is healthy and safe, everything else is fine.
Milla Jovovich
You know, women are so much cooler than guys because we can do more martial arts. Martial arts are pretty much made for women because we're quicker and we're smaller than men, and so we're faster. You girls really should take martial arts.
Milla Jovovich
I started super young, but when I think about myself at that age - what I thought I knew, and how priggish I was, how certain of things - now I realize that nothing is certain.
Milla Jovovich
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.
Milla Jovovich
When I think about myself at 15, I can't relate to myself at all. I thought I knew everything.
Milla Jovovich
During the day I force myself to at least eat some salads rather than rubbish, and a steak in the evening. In fact, I eat to basically satisfy my hunger. I hardly have the time to appreciate a meal, and I'm everything, but a gourmet.
Milla Jovovich
I took my little brother, and we went from Beijing to Ulan Bator, and then took a helicopter to the southern Gobi. Streams, grass, and sand dunes to climb. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Everybody needs to go to Mongolia just to see what it is to be a human being again.
Milla Jovovich
I'm not really easy to live with! There needs to be unlimited patience and unconditional love. Men I've known before loved my independent spirit and were proud of my success, to the point that they'd become jealous of the time I devote to my career.
Milla Jovovich
I'm very into the japanese sensibility. Oversize coats and baggy trousers.
Milla Jovovich
I felt violated after certain scenes in the movie [Stone]. She [Lucetta] is a tough character. The choices she makes, especially her sexual choices... it was hard for me to put myself out there like that.
Milla Jovovich
I just want to make one really good movie a year. And when I die, to know I was honest as an artist.
Milla Jovovich
Girls who are dancers tend to be much better models than girls who just got picked off the street. Dance is a discipline, just like martial arts. No matter what you do, you have this sort of confidence that no one can take away from you - every time you step somewhere, you're sure of where you're going.
Milla Jovovich
Bringing all 45 members of my crazy family together, and watching them argue is super awesome. It's good to do it just once a year.
