Olga Kurylenko on How She Got Into Modeling:
"Someone came up to me in the subway. It's a long story, I went for vacation with my mom to Moscow and then this woman who just spoke to us in the subway gave us her card and then we went back and then she invited us again for tests. The one day in Moscow, I met another guy who was looking for girls for French agencies and he just took my pictures, went with them, went back to Paris, showed them around, went back, said, 'Look, you have invitations from a few agencies. Would you like to go and try?' And I said, 'Okay, sure.' And I never came back, because I fell in love with Paris."
