Penelope Cruz Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von 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.

I try to do as much as possible for every character. Some of them, it is easier to do the research because you have either real examples that you work with, maybe some specific person that inspires you in that case, or the performances from other people, or the characters, or a character from a book.

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.

Penelope Cruz

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.

Penelope Cruz

Even if you were aware of children and felt compassion, when you have your own, it multiplies. It breaks your heart to know that there are so many children in the world suffering so much.

Penelope Cruz

I love ballet, and it's a little boring for me to go to the gym because I'm used to the dancing discipline - it's really hard but much more fun.

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 always knew I wanted a family because of the way I grew up. Family has always been the most important thing.

Penelope Cruz

I have had a very singular kind of life since I started working so young, so I am very used to traveling, working, taking time for myself.

Penelope Cruz

I don't know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.

Penelope Cruz

It's great working with my sister, because we are very close as a family - my brother, my sister and myself. We have a great relationship.

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

There was a point where I was making four movies a year. I was always on a set. I had no stories to tell. I was feeling empty. My life was just luggage and hotels and from set to set, from character to character. And one day, I said, 'And where is mine?' You know? And the moment I started to feel that fear, I stopped and I slowed down.

Penelope Cruz

There's a lot of work that goes into it - if you think about how many collections a year that Karl Lagerfeld has to do, with Chanel and all the other things he does - you can't do that unless you are working 18 hours a day. It's really a lot of hard, hard work.

Penelope Cruz

Making a living out of acting sounded like science-fiction when I was growing up. I didn't know anyone around me who lived from anything related to art.

Penelope Cruz

I am someone who worries a lot. I'm always worrying 'what if?' Now I'm a mum - there will be worries for the rest of my life, but they're not about me anymore.

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 a strong personality, and I say what I think.

Penelope Cruz

Awards are great, as you get to meet up with friends and colleagues from your industry - a sort of reunion.

Penelope Cruz

I hope that I will be able to work all of my life - even when I am older. It's easier to do that in Europe than in America, because in America it is difficult for older actresses to find work.

Penelope Cruz

I want my son - and my kids, if I have more - to grow up in a way that is as anonymous as possible. The fact that his father and I have chosen to do the work that we do doesn't give anybody the right to invade our privacy.

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

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.

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

Johnny Depp is so special that he is like a Martian. In fact, that's what I call him, Martian.

Penelope Cruz

When I start a movie, the first day, I feel like a duck.

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?

Penelope Cruz

When I read a script, I try not to judge the characters. I try to have an open mind and really see what it makes me feel.

Penelope Cruz

I always feel scared and insecure on a film set. I don't know any other way.

Penelope Cruz

My ambition is to be happy.

Penelope Cruz

My first fear was about the devil, when I was around fire, something I saw in a movie. I think it's about pain, in whichever form it comes.

Penelope Cruz

I remember playing with some friends and being aware that I was acting as I was playing with them - I would think of a character and pretend to be someone else.

Penelope Cruz

One thing that I am proud of: I am really capable of laughing at myself.

Penelope Cruz

When I was 16 or 17, when I started, I never even considered not doing a project. I just wanted to work.

Penelope Cruz

I only drive in movies. I know that's very weird to hear for an American. I have a weird relationship with it. I know how to drive, but I never went to take the test.

Penelope Cruz

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.

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.
