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.

More quotes by 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.

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
I've worked myself to exhaustion before. I was so young, and I thought I could do everything it was just too much for my body and my mind.
Penelope Cruz
I think it will be better when I get involved with someone again, because I made this time for me. I haven't really been single for a while, and I think it's been good for me, to lose the fear to be like this.
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 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 have a strong personality, and I say what I think.
Penelope Cruz
I had things with numbers - because I love numbers - but it's not something I'm proud of. I'm proud that I was able to send them away, because you're much more present.
Penelope Cruz
It's very much like a torture sometimes, the process of trying to get rid of an accent.
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 don't do Twitter, Facebook none of that. My email I do from my Blackberry or my iPhone.
Penelope Cruz
My plate is full with just acting. I want to focus on that, and then maybe direct in the future.
Penelope Cruz
I think superstition has a lot to do with fear: the less, the better.
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
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 have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being 'someone's girlfriend', and now I am happy being single.
Penelope Cruz
Maybe I'll make one movie a year, maybe two, but it's not going to be more than that because I have other priorities now.
Penelope Cruz
When I start a movie, the first day, I feel like a duck.
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
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?
