• In response to a query on how landing the role as the new Bond girl has changed her life:
• "It has changed a lot. Overnight I became of interest to people, especially the press. I imagined that would happen because it's a big movie, but you don't really realise to what point. At the same time what disappointed me was there were quite a few lies in the press. I don't know why people do that. I guess because they can't get anything on me because nobody knows me, so I guess they just made up stuff."IGN: Olga Kurylenko Q&A (January 31, 2008)—Olga Kurylenko
