- "I try to find my place in this movie. What you see in the film is very intense, but as soon as somebody says "CUT!", I can laugh and tell a joke without problems. Right before recording I run around the set, warm up my voice and perform a few breathing exercises to put myself in the right mood." -- Milla

German games magazine Game On did a report on Resident Evil. Translation of Milla's quick interview at the end: "The reason I did the movie was because I love the game and...my little brother and I played it all the time...it was exciting for me just watching him play, I could sit for 5 hours and we would sit all day and play this game."
