Penelope Cruz - Quotes
I am amazed about how everyone wants to know about my love life. They whisper to me, 'Tell me the truth? Is it true?' Who cares? Because we have this job, we are to say to everybody what we do, or with whom we sleep? It's a bit absurd, but that's why everybody lies so much.
I had a horrible, horrible breakdown. It was just huge, like the worst period of my life, and it lasted for a couple of months.
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.
I like roles that people don't recognize me in.
Johnny Depp is so special that he is like a Martian. In fact, that's what I call him, Martian.
My ambition is to be happy.
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.
The most important lesson I've learned in this business is how to say no. I have said no to a lot of temptations, and I am glad I did.
I think it is a privilege [to be working in show business.] Not everybody can do what they want to do and still eat. I'm very lucky. And it's getting better and better.
When I'm acting in a movie, I feel very protected by a character, so I let a lot of monsters come out of me because it's justified through the character.
One day, I looked for myself (on the Internet), and I was so scared of what I saw. I saw 'Penelope Cruz Naked,' and I thought, what is that?
