You cannot live your life looking at yourself from someone else's point of view.
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.
I think magic is very related to happiness. So it is not there all the time, but there are beautiful moments of magic in everyone's life.
My ambition is to be happy.
One thing that I am proud of: I am really capable of laughing at myself.
We need to stop the dying and start the living; stop the hunger and start the hoping.
Sometimes I feel we express more with dancing or acting or painting than with words.
When you really have the preparation time and things start taking the shape that they need, you have a beautiful feeling that comes from the hard work.
I came to Los Angeles for the first time in 1994. I spoke no English. I only knew how to say two sentences: "How are you?" and "I want to work with Johnny Depp."
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.
I have a strong personality, and I say what I think.
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.
I was 11 when I first said I wanted to become an actress, and everyone looked at me as if I had said I wanted to go to the moon.
Every relationship ends, until maybe you find one that lasts forever.
Age holds absolutely no fear for me. There is so much enjoyment ahead.
I won't go to places where you're going to find more attention. I go to the opposite.
I don't know why, but women in a hair salon share their deepest secrets.
All those cliches, those things you hear about having a baby and motherhood - all of them are true. And all of them are the most beautiful things you will ever experience.
I don't think I am beautiful. I can look good and I can look ugly.
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 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.
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.
I've seen my grandmothers grow old and they are so beautiful, every wrinkle in their face tells a story. I want to feel that in 30 years. I would always choose that kind of beauty over that comes from having too much done to yourself.
We had a great connection with Pedro Almodovar from the beginning. Even before I met him, it was so strange. I felt like I already knew him. I loved him even before I met him. It was so powerful. And when I looked at him in the eyes, this was the feeling that I knew I was going to have with him. It gets bigger and bigger every day. I adore him. It's much more than working together. He's a really special person in my life.
I never grew up dreaming about a wedding - I don't think about things like that. I don't know how to explain it. All I care about is to be happy.
