My ambition is to be happy.

I want to work with Johnny Depp.

I like roles that people don't recognize me in.

I came to New York to study ballet and English.

Madrid is what I call home, but also the States.

I'm not like Puff Daddy, I hold my own umbrella.

I have a strong personality, and I say what I think.

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

My favourite actress is Meryl Streep. Oh, and Anna Magnani.

He can have my body, but he will never have my soul. never!

In Spain, actresses work until they are old. That's my plan.

I don't think I am beautiful. I can look good and I can look ugly.

Every relationship ends, until maybe you find one that lasts forever.

I think superstition has a lot to do with fear: the less, the better.

Age holds absolutely no fear for me. There is so much enjoyment ahead.

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

I don't know why, but women in a hair salon share their deepest secrets.

I love learning on the set. But, directing is not something I want to do.

Calcutta is like another world. People there are very special and grateful.

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

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

You cannot live your life looking at yourself from someone else's point of view.

Sometimes I feel we express more with dancing or acting or painting than with words.

I won't go to places where you're going to find more attention. I go to the opposite.

We need to stop the dying and start the living; stop the hunger and start the hoping.

I love Spanish food. My diet is the Mediterranean diet, which is good food. I eat well.

It's very much like a torture sometimes, the process of trying to get rid of an accent.

I don't do Twitter, Facebook; none of that. My email I do from my Blackberry or my iPhone.

If we continue on the path we're on, there simply won't be enough fresh water for everyone.

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

As a kid, I had a lot of energy; but the ballet lessons made me calm - this pleased my mother.

There's so much more I want to do. I refuse to get to 50 and wait at home for the phone to ring.

My plate is full with just acting. I want to focus on that, and then maybe direct in the future.

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

My parents owned a hair salon, so I learned a few tricks there. I can cut people's hair - if they let me.

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

I love New York, but being there the whole year, it gets a little crazy with the speed and rhythm of things.

I am not somebody who likes to give advice, or anything like that, unless it's my closest friends or family.

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

I was very superstitious when I was a teenager, and I had to fight against that because it made me feel anxious.

I really like the Caribbean. Anyplace in the Caribbean. I get there, and I feel like a monkey - the perfect state.

I spend so much time living by myself - mostly in hotels - and I pick up cats when I'm feeling particularly lonely.

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 had a very curly perm in the '80s, thanks to the 'Way You Make Me Feel' Michael Jackson video. I liked the girl in it.

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.

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.

Being actors we are dealing with the beauty and complexity of human confusion, no? And we are always trying to get answers.

Nothing is going to happen to you if you throw salt on the floor, stand under a ladder, or see eight black cats on the street.

As an actress, I really love people like Anna Magnani and Debra Winger. I also think there is nobody better than Meryl Streep.

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.
