Eventually there are going to be chips in brains. Imagine if you could just buy knowledge and download it into your head instead of having to learn it. Like in ‘The Matrix.’ Imagine all the years saved! – Olga Kurylenko
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. – Olga Kurylenko
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. – Olga Kurylenko
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. – Olga Kurylenko
I know how addictive videogames are – I have friends who can’t get up off the couch because they’re so hooked. They provide these different virtual worlds that you can live in. – Olga Kurylenko
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. – Olga Kurylenko
I bring spiritual books with me while travelling. I like books about thoughts and how you see the world. – Olga Kurylenko
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. – Olga Kurylenko
When I was a kid, we never had a videogame in my house. But my cousin did, and each time I went to her house I was able to play ‘Tetris’ and ‘Mario.’ Those were the only two games I played as a child. – Olga Kurylenko
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. – Olga Kurylenko
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. – Olga Kurylenko

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. – Olga Kurylenko
I always listen to all kinds of different music from different years. I listen to the contemporary, but once in a while into eighties, you know just for fun, and sometimes classical too. So I have this big mix on my i-pod… Amy Winehouse, Gwen Stefani, OutKast, Jay-Z. I listen to trance, pop, everything. It really depends on my mood. – Olga Kurylenko
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. – Olga Kurylenko
Music evokes so many feelings in us, memories, nostalgia, things that are connected to our past. – Olga Kurylenko
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. – Olga Kurylenko
