As a kid, I had a lot of energy; but the ballet lessons made me calm - this pleased my mother.
Awards are great, as you get to meet up with friends and colleagues from your industry - a sort of reunion.
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.
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.
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.
I love New York, but being there the whole year, it gets a little crazy with the speed and rhythm of things.
In Spain, actresses work until they are old. That's my plan.
Being actors we are dealing with the beauty and complexity of human confusion, no? And we are always trying to get answers.
We must act now to make sure fresh water is available to everyone, no matter where they live. The consequences of doing nothing will be even more catastrophic.
I have seen water availability change drastically in my own lifetime. Around the world, millions of people are already living in a true water crisis.
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.
I love learning on the set. But, directing is not something I want to do.
To be able to explore the genre of the musical is nice. It was great to be able to sing professionally, for the first time, and dance, which was something that I did growing up, but I had not done for many, many years.
