More quotes by 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
Pedro Almodóvar asked me to watch italian films again as homework to look at the energy of all those women from the Italian neo-realist films. A lot of them had those characters that represented motherhood. For some reason, in the '50s in Italy, the mother figure was very important - and my character needed to have that energy.
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 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
It's very much like a torture sometimes, the process of trying to get rid of an accent.
Penelope Cruz
I don't know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.
Penelope Cruz
My definition of beauty is without rules. It can be the face of a beautiful 90-year-old woman that is full of stories and emotion. Beauty is what somebody's eyes communicate.
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.
Penelope Cruz
When I start a movie, the first day, I feel like a duck.
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 came to New York to study ballet and English.
Penelope Cruz
As an actress, I really love people like Anna Magnani and Debra Winger. I also think there is nobody better than Meryl Streep.
Penelope Cruz
It feels great and it's very beautiful when you can bring someone of your own nationality into a story, where even the historic element of it is important. I loved that I could use my own accent for the character.
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
I have a strong personality, and I say what I think.
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
When I was 16, I got 'Jamon, Jamon.' Of course, I had to lie about my age. And I had to lie to my parents about the content of the script.
Penelope Cruz
I love the Italian culture, it's a beautiful culture. I love the language, the Italian people, their music, their attitudes... I just love it! Sometimes, I think I'm an Italian trapped in a Spanish woman's body.
Penelope Cruz
One thing that I am proud of: I am really capable of laughing at myself.
Penelope Cruz
Sometimes I feel we express more with dancing or acting or painting than with words.
