Some Milla Jovovich upcoming movies to look out for are Stone, Resident Evil: Afterlife, Dirty Girl, The Winter Queen, Keep Coming Back, Faces In The Crowd and Mile Zero.
Enjoy some Milla Jovovich quotes below.
I think that's one of the only reasons God created celebrities. To help those who can't help themselves.
(Talking about The Fifth Element) I worked like hell. No band practice, no clubs, no pot, nothing.
(Talking about Resident Evil) If this movie was made in America they would have had a guy and we would have been his harem or entourage. Big studios don't trust that women will bring in that kind of audience, "Tomb Raider" was really an exception to the rule. Most of the time, if you make a big action film there has to be a big action guy in it. It's very European to trust a woman to play that kind of a role.
(About Madonna) Oh, my God! I used to ride my bicycle around for hours in the garage of our apartment building singing 'Material Girl.
Rather than go to the gym, I would prefer to do martial arts because the time goes by quicker.
From now on, I approach the cinema as a business woman. I intend to be in more action movies because, apart from Angelina Jolie, no other actress stands out in this genre.
