Penelope Cruz says shooting a movie is like going on a first date. The ‘Broken Embraces’ actress gets very nervous before starting a new film and gets the same feelings she has when a man takes her out.
“In terms of the work, it always seems like it’s a first date. I mean, every time I go to the movie set and start a project, I feel the same feeling – the butterflies in the stomach, not having control over it – because acting is like that. That’s the beauty of it. You can always keep learning. There’s always more.”
Penelope also feels privileged to have had such a successful acting career.
“I’ve been very fortunate to be able to make a living out of acting since I was 17. Very, very fortunate, and I’m aware of it.
What do you think of Penelope as an actress? I always seem to enjoy her work.
I feel like that every time I go on set too. ;O) Just kidding; love her.
……………….MINUS A CONDOM, folks!!
I watched Broken Embraces and its a mavellous movie. Penelope is stunning should get the Oscar. She is an amazing actress especially in Spanish movies. I really do not know why her Hollywood movies are not as strong and memorable. Pedro is a Brilliant Director too. Can’t wait to Oscar nite.
i think she’s a great actress….but i do like her acting skills more in spanish movies than her english ones. maybe its cuz she’s more comfortable and can express more in her native language. either way, i like her
I saw her in an interview once, and she was the BIGGEST bitch ever. Thus, I do not believe this is a sincere quote because she is NOT a kind person.
I’ve never really seen any of her movies, but I think she is beautiful and I like how she keeps a low profile yet remains A list (see ‘celebs’ it can be done, so quit yapping on about paps and lack of privacy yeah)
I don’t really know too much about her, I’ve seen a few movies, but just don’t know much.
I like her and I love her style. But I have not seen any of her movies.
