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.

More quotes by Penelope Cruz
I was happy that I finally could play a mature woman, because I started working when I was a teenager and was always playing characters according to my age.
Penelope Cruz
I'm strong and opinionated. Those qualities brought me a lot of problems since I was a little girl in school, saying 'I don't agree' and fighting with the children. It's part of my curiosity for life.
Penelope Cruz
I came to New York to study ballet and English.
Penelope Cruz
Sometimes I feel we express more with dancing or acting or painting than with words.
Penelope Cruz
In my house every Sunday, everybody was cleaning the house. There was always music, and everybody was dancing, sometimes naked around the house. Not hippie, but very free.
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
When I start a movie, the first day, I feel like a duck.
Penelope Cruz
My plate is full with just acting. I want to focus on that, and then maybe direct in the future.
Penelope Cruz
It's very much like a torture sometimes, the process of trying to get rid of an accent.
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
I can cook a little bit. I can cook a few Spanish dishes. But, in movies, it looks like I cook much better than I cook.
Penelope Cruz
I just try not to label myself in any way. I just have an allergy to labels in general. I can tell you that I am surrounded by very strong women and that I really appreciate that, but I'd rather not label myself.
Penelope Cruz
I had a very curly perm in the '80s, thanks to the 'Way You Make Me Feel' Michael Jackson video. I liked the girl in it.
Penelope Cruz
I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.
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
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
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
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
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 think most actors . . . We are insecure, in general. I think to be an actor, you need to have an ego, but then, our ego is our worst enemy.
