"I was so surprised I'm doing any of this. I'm not interested in vampires at all. (Laughs) When I first got sent the script for Underworld I didn't read it, but then I thought, hmm, vampires and werewolves... not really my kind of thing. And then when I got the script for this, again, I thought, "Oh, it all has to do with vampires and werewolves". But I thought my character was so different. First of all, I'm not a vampire in this. (Laughs) She's a gypsy and she's much more passionate. It just seemed like a very good role."

"My reluctance was more... well, I knew from the moment I read it that the movies were very different, as you can tell after seeing it. And the characters are very different. My reluctance was more, I thought after shooting, and when I met Steve I was on my way to shoot X-Men 2 my reluctance was that I thought I was going to do a smaller independent movie after that; doing something different. I was a bit reluctant about being in another big, sort of, franchise kind of movie; a summer, popcorn movie in a way; because I thought I might just end up going down that road. And because they take so long to make, it's like a year of your life. And then I knew I was coming to Broadway for a year. So I figured, do I really want to be doing that? And of course, if it's successful, then X-Men 3 and then Van Helsing 2, then that would kind of be my film life, you know?"
