• She's claustrophobic. She said the scariest thing she had done was the scene in Resident Evil: Apocalypse where her character had to be in a small tank.
• For The Fifth Element, the production decided to dye Jovovich's hair from its natural brown color to her character's signature orange color. However, due to the fact that her hair had to be redyed regularly to maintain the bright color, Milla's hair quickly became too damaged and broken to withstand the dye. Most of Milla's hair fell out and eventually a wig was created to match the color and style of Leeloo's hair, and was used for the remainder of the production.
• She said the reason she did Resident Evil was because her brother was a huge fan of the video game.
• She said the romance sequel Return to the Blue Lagoon was the worst film she has ever done.
• She was bullied in school for being from the Soviet Union.

Quotes

• I think that's one of the only reasons God created celebrities. To help those who can't help themselves.
• To be an actor, you have to know yourself really well. That's been a major thing for me, to really understand why I do things.
• It's 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.
• 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.
• I am a strong Ukrainian girl, that is why I work a lot.
