More quotes by Penelope Cruz
There is a magic factor that is sometimes on a movie set, that is a really, really beautiful thing that cannot be compared to anything else, if you are somebody that is really passionate about acting or directing or the world of movies.
Penelope Cruz
My mother was very passionate about life and she would do anything for us. And she had to fight alone to raise us. We never had a lot of money for extras or anything. She had to work six days a week, and then she would do breakfast, lunch and dinner. She was a super-woman! For me, I don't know how she did it with three kids.
Penelope Cruz
I am living for every day and trying to have less fear, less worry. But I have always worried about everything it's in my nature. It's the thing that makes me suffer the most.
Penelope Cruz
I was very superstitious when I was a teenager, and I had to fight against that because it made me feel anxious.
Penelope Cruz
I never want to lie about my age. If I look around at the actresses I admire, they are all women who have not fought growing older, but embraced it and been proud of it - women like Sophia Loren or Audrey Hepburn.
Penelope Cruz
I think superstition has a lot to do with fear: the less, the better.
Penelope Cruz
Calcutta is like another world. People there are very special and grateful.
Penelope Cruz
My ambition is to be happy.
Penelope Cruz
Madrid is what I call home, but also the States.
Penelope Cruz
My parents owned a hair salon, so I learned a few tricks there. I can cut people's hair - if they let me.
Penelope Cruz
When I am dreaming at night, I see everything as a shot from a movie. I have cranes and extras in my dreams. I swear to you! It doesn't happen every day, but many nights my dreams are like a movie. I don't see normal movement - I see things in very complicated shots.
Penelope Cruz
I still feel like I have so much to learn. I love that feeling, that next time I go to set, I will be terrified again. I don't want it to be any other way.
Penelope Cruz
Sometimes you will do a close-up for a scene in the morning where you are totally distraught, then shoot the rest of that scene seven hours later. How do you hang on to that feeling all day without burning up, without going so far that you have nothing left to give when the cameras roll again?
Penelope Cruz
There's so much more I want to do. I refuse to get to 50 and wait at home for the phone to ring. In Spain, actresses work until they are old. That's my plan.
Penelope Cruz
Age holds absolutely no fear for me. There is so much enjoyment ahead.
Penelope Cruz
The most difficult thing in the world is to start a career known only for your looks, and then to try to become a serious actress. No one will take you seriously once you are known as the pretty woman.
Penelope Cruz
I want to be remembered as somebody that tried to respect her integrity as an artist and as a person. And I don't want to be in any box. I don't want to be one thing.
Penelope Cruz
It's great working with my sister, because we are very close as a family - my brother, my sister and myself. We have a great relationship.
Penelope Cruz
It is a revolutionary experience. That's the best way I can describe it. It transforms you completely, in a second. Nature is very wise and gives you nine months to prepare, but in that moment-when you see that face, you are transformed forever.
Penelope Cruz
I really think insecurity is something that comes with being an actor - I don't know actors who aren't insecure. I do think I kind of lie to myself - there is a percentage of ego involved. And I don't say that's a bad thing - it's good to know that it's there whether we like it or not. But ego is like a lion that we have to keep under control.
