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 Read Quote

There are so many designers that I love, and I’m so lucky that I get to work with so many of them and sometimes spend time with them. Penelope Cruz Read Quote
In ‘Twice Born’ I play my character in her 20s, 30s and 50s. For the fifty year old scenes, I had some prosthetics; it was interesting to see how I’m going to look when I’m fifty-five or so. I actually saw similarities between my grandmothers and my mother. Penelope Cruz Read Quote
